Attracting like a magnet
Doing nothing, just waiting
To slowly draw you in
As hard as you try
And god you try
It’s always there
Beckoning you
Resisting is pointless
It’s like an annoying habit
Irresistible but irritating
Never quite the same
Always something new
Luring you into its grasp.
It’s no good the temptation is too great
You have to go and see
The jumbled goods for sale
In the centre aisle at Aldi!!

- Comment from author about the poem: After a fantastic long weekend it was back to normality and the weekly shop. In order to save a few pennies we shop at Aldi. This makes sense unless you are drawn to the centre aisle. All the money you save can evaporate in one purchase of something you didn’t even know you needed. (And when you get it home realise you didn’t!!)

Ah ha - - I know what you mean my friend !! That central isle is a true magnet to all who enter the store. An engaging read as a good reminder to let the saved pennies stay intact.
Thank you. Good luck on avoiding the aisle!!
I have never been to Aldi so know nothing about the central aisle.
You’re probably lucky!!
Erm, nor me really, not been there, though we have one in near our town centre. Ohh I always go to the 99p shops (do they exist now?). These £1 shops are far too expensive. heehee.
I guess inflation takes its toll eventually!!
You saving those 1p's, going to 99p shop instead of Pound Shop?!
So true! Ive lost count of the rubbish Ive bought and the time I've wasted rummaging through those centre aisles.
