The Mrs swears that the Norpack is Lurpak packaged differently. She is also a fan of their cheese selection.
It can be good when they have 'themes' (such as American or the recent Mexican week). Samuel Adams beer was dirt cheap!
Personally, I hate the place. I don't like the whole checkout system where they toss the stuff at you and you have to skulk off by the window to pack.
We don't do a full weekly shop, but we do go there quite a bit.

I suggest you just go in and get what you want.
Milk
You can have it with cereal, tea, coffee it can be used for making sauces... milk is very versatile and it's good to have it always in stock. You might even be able to churn some butter..
don't get me started on butter, do you like toast?
Sometimes yes.
But it's why they're so much cheaper cashiers have a speed target 50% higher than sainsburys allowing fewer staff and overheads. The staff are worked ragged compared to the normal supermarkets.

You put the stuff on the belt , get it scanned then put it back in trolley and then bag it after you have paid at ours , you would get lynched if you tried to bag it as it was scanned at our aldi !!!!!
That is the proper way to do it and take it over to the packing shelf at the back.
Get over to Waitrose, it's like a luxury food hotel compared to Aldi, Netto etc

Nothing posh about waitrose , you just pay more because you think it is
