Aldi's Almat `Which?' no 1 detergent.

If it's the same like here in the Netherlands the managers might not even get paid for all those hours. Overtime is mandatory for them, but they only get paid for the hours on their contract.

Someone asked about U.S. Aldi's Reeva

hand dish liquid? I've used it at church, not at home. I would say that it's close to or equal to Dawn in how well it works.

The thing I dislike about Aldi is that here in the States, at least 1/3 of the products are rotated out every year, for a period of 1-4 years.

I don't shop at Aldi frequently, however I have been generally pleased by the products. Except the peanut butter, which I find inedible.

US Aldi is run by Aldi South (Southern Germany).

Once one has moved over the management or even certain salaried positions, overtime is not given. In theory you are paid the same wages regardless if you work 40 hours or 80 hours within a week.

Right now you are hearing allot about workplace "balance". Employees are getting fed up with spending nearly 9-12 hours per day every day at the office, and or having to come in on weekends/not taking vacation or other off time.

When this economy improves you are going to see one huge mass wave of persons telling their employers to stuff it and seek greener pastures elsewhere. It has only been the bad economic climate that has made many keep their heads down or otherwise deal with the situation on the ground. When those threats die down, all bets are off.

I have used the Reeva hand dish detergent, and it seems to work fine.
The Reeva machine gel is not that good and left things too filmy.
I have not seen Reeva powder in quite a long time.
Have never tried their laundry detergent (Tandil) it is not that great of a deal price-wise, and they only have liquid.
I usually buy powder detergents at Family Dollar.
I used to have an Aldi on my way to and from a job, but its not on my path anymore.
I would say most of their things are good value, but I would not waste gas to go too far out of my way.

i went shopping at Aldi this morning,Is it me or have the boxes got smaller?

I don't know whether to try the Almat Colour or just go back to Ariel,It seems to be taking forever to get rid of the Formil colour,and i really hate the fragrance!
What's the fragrance like with Almat Colour?

ALMAT Colour

I've only used almat colour tablets and they smell a bit like persil colour powder =]

I like my Ariel Colour and Style Powder so I doubt I will change from that =]
