Aldi, the 'low cost supermarket' have specific items on sale every Thursday (or at least so I am led to believe this happens). This weeks it's cycling gear, a selection of clothing, tools and gels suitable for the average biking bloke/lass. I snapped up a pair of winter gloves to see me through the winter, but I'm not sure the other gear was that much of a bargain.
That's the thing about these allegedly low cost outlets. They purport to be much lower priced than the mainstream supermarkets, then throw in some novelty items not normally found in the high street (e.g. cycling stuff) and trade on their low price name. Not that I'm saying they were expensive, but it looked to me that the majority of the items on sale could be found elsewhere for the same or lower price and (probably) better quality. Mind you, my cloves seem to be a bargain so I'm not complaining.
