hi all,
I'll be moving to Bern at the end of the year. I'm visiting for a couple of days and went into the local Migros to check out the price of groceries. Does anyone shop in Aldi/Lidl here? Are the prices similar to what you'd pay in the UK or just a bit (if anything) cheaper than Migros/Coop here?
Any tips or hints on keeping grocery shopping at a minimum, welcome!
Thanks

I live in Vaud and there is an Aldi next to my home; some prices are similar to in the UK but I'd say on the whole they are still slightly more than UK prices, but not a lot. That said, Aldi is probably the cheapest of the supermarkets. Denner and Migros can be cheaper sometimes, and Coop more expensive.
What's expensive really is meat. On certain days they have 'actions' where meat can be reduced, and also you might find that it's cheaper in Asian supermarkets for example.
I don't know Bern but it will at least still be cheaper than Geneva and Zurich I'm sure.

Both Aldi and Lidl in Villeneuve, close to where we stay, are very much less expensive than Migros and Co-Op, especially for fruit and vegetables and some meat products.
So if you can find one in Bern located where you will be living, then our advice would be "go for them"!
