Remember yellow and black bags with dogs on them?
In the 90s, a couple of German supermarkets arrived in the UK and made new homes here. Lidl and Aldi promised all of your household and kitchen essentials for cheaper than the established British giants, with a few middle-aisle bargains to boot.
Newark, Retford, Mansfield and more had Nettos, and nearby Langley Mill at the Derbyshire border had one of their top-performing supermarkets for a time in the Acorn Centre. They'd all left by 2011, but a short-lived revival brought a few back in 2014 too. They did back up their claims of value, in fairness. In the advert above you can see 2 litres of Pepsi for 99p - 1.5 litres these days is about double the price.
You might remember taking carrier bags to school to hold all sorts that wouldn't fit in your backpacks - P.E. kits, art supplies and the like. Some schoolchildren wouldn't be caught dead using a Netto bag for that.
