Your views are just fabulous. Like a breath of fresh air.The hay is going down very well - all ladies considerably broader in the beam this morning after a good munch over the last 24 hours.

And I got to have a cuddle with these two through the fence and slip them a few ewe rolls I had in my pocket - I felt like one of those old news stories about mothers feeding their kids burgers through the school gates after the canteen went healthy eating!

Nibbles and Loppy have slimmed down and even 406 has lost a bit of weight, they're doing well
sorry no advice as I don't have children, but I assumed everyone shopped in aldi etc now! I would be shocked to see if it was still the case this kind of snobbery existed!Hello, I’m popping up here on the scrounge for some crowd answers to a very silly worry I have if I may- do kids get made fun of if they have Aldi crisps or snacks in their lunchbox nowadays?
I know I sound absolutely ridiculous but it seems to be a weird hang up from growing up poor and getting teased for having own brand stuff etc. But loads of people shop at Aldi nowadays don’t they? And everyone buys clothes at the supermarket too which was a teasing hot spot when I was a kid as well!
basically I want to shop at Aldi but I’m worried my kids packed lunch will be mocked (and I know I’m an idiot. and I know I should be teaching him to rise above any of that crap if it does occur but it seems easier to just buy a bag of walkers).
Gosh no not in our school. I live in a mixed area. In fact its more likely the well off kids get stuff from Aldi. Its great quality and IMO hardly that much cheaper than the other supermarkets, Most of my posh mates shop there for the wine!Hello, I’m popping up here on the scrounge for some crowd answers to a very silly worry I have if I may- do kids get made fun of if they have Aldi crisps or snacks in their lunchbox nowadays?

yeah I assume for teenagers with clothes it is different, but food in aldi/lidl is great, some things you can get better elsewhere, but generally they have such a good range. I also love the "themed" food they have weekly/monthly... I always just seem to go mad buying random different foods there. Probably would be cheaper to shop elsewhere as I impulse buy so much!A lot of influencer Mums do food shop hauls on youtube, showing items from Aldi and Lidl these days too, showing what they put in lunch boxes by way of snacks etc. I think it will be fine.
Just grunka’d through a few of these threads and your sheep pictures have made my day Falkor!The hay is going down very well - all ladies considerably broader in the beam this morning after a good munch over the last 24 hours.

Coming from the other side, I have never seen any nastiness about what was or wasn’t in packed lunches. When I was on duty kids just ate and then got on with the small amount of free time they had.Thank you all, I don’t know why I was getting in such a knot about it but you’ve reassured me!
Yep I would say the same about my 10 year old - although her friends did tell her to stop eating aldi mini cheddars as they had palm oil in them. Kids these days are amazing!@Fenella my 10 year old has never said anything about who has what for lunch or if anyone has ever commented on his. From what I gather they pretty much shovel it down as fast as possible so they can go out to play. So I really think you need not worry about having branded products.
The only time I’ve ever seen it was, ironically enough for those of us from the Jack threads, salmon paste sandwiches. And only then because they absolutely stunk so it drew attention. Brands wise they never seem to care, pre-COVID I saw a lot of “I’ll trade you my mini cheddars and this babybel for your salt and vinegar crisps” type trades but not teasing.Coming from the other side, I have never seen any nastiness about what was or wasn’t in packed lunches.

This was secondary, but Y7 were still not interested.
