Supermarket List: Milk, Bread, Cheap Vacation

While you might be used to picking up cheap groceries in your nearest Aldi, we had never thought you could pick up a vacation while you’re at it. But apparently the no-frills supermarket chain has already made in-roads on the German-speaking travel market and Britain is next in line.

Come January, Aldi Travel plans to sell cheap city breaks, summer vacations and ski deals across Europe through their website. They’ll advertise six different holidays every two weeks through in-store brochures and customers will pick up their package online.

We can see the attractiveness of cheap prices in exchange for total unattractiveness at Aldi supermarkets, but we’re not sure how this transfers to vacations. Will we get cheap prices and totally unattractive hotels? The jury’s still out.
