. | | | | | I think it depends on the store, the fresh bread at our local Aldi which has its own bakery bit is far far superior to any bread they sell at the Aldi in Neuchâtel which doesn't have a bakery.
The fruit and veg in both of them is excellent.

Might try Lidl this week for a bit of variety!

I like the 'nutty' wholegrain bread from our Aldi.

UBS runs a "mountain offer" for account owners through October 30, 2016:
10 CHF gets you a return ticket for any of 35 different cablecars/mountain railways across Switzerland. Valid for owners of UBS credit or debit cards or saving accounts. It also gets you 10% discount on your train to the cablecars.
Any UBS client can also take up to 4 minors up to age 16 for the same discounts.
Registration is mandatory for going up Pilatus.
See here for further details: https://www.ubs.com/microsites/entde...formation.html
Savings: The regular day ticket from e.g. Goldau up to Rigi costs 68 CHF (34 CHF with HalfTax).
Enjoy

For the UBS mountain deal, you can also get 10% off the SBB price from your home to the appropriate valley station. Tested Stettbach to Pizsol yesterday!

This Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro @ 897chf laptop looks like a pretty damn good deal to me... https://shop.mediamarkt.ch/de/comput...r/idpl96pyjvs6
It has: - A massive 512GB SSD (double the average in this class and price range)
- A QHD+ IPS touchscreen
- 8GB RAM
- Above average life
Sure, it's no Dell XPS 13 (which is almost double the price for the top spec anyway), and the Intel Core M-5Y71 processor won't win any speed awards compared to a "full fat" dual or quad core CPU in every test, but it matches them in some single-threaded tests and overall it's roughly equivalent to a ultra low voltage i7 CPU, which means it is certainly no slouch either. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-C....129324.0.html
Here is the same one at Digitec.ch, refurbished... for 1'154.25chf https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product...3?ipsrId=54608
Same one at Digitec.ch with a 256GB SSD ... for 1'049chf https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product...904?tagIds=614
Professional reviews (reviewed at full release price):
I researched some user reviews too and I think it has some flaws... the GPU performance is very poor in Youtube and Chrome but this is fixed with a registry patch to fix the hardware acceleration. However many of the 1* reviews seem to be complaining about fixable things in general: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Yoga-P...owViewpoints=1
The Media Markt one is actually potentially a good deal... I'm tempted to pick one up as an ultra-portable machine for travelling and processing photos with. Hmm, need to go and see one tomorrow...

with German VAT deducted and Swiss added, it is even cheaper than 897 CHF.
I bought my Yoga 2 laptop also on Amazon for a price way below the Swiss market. Even though it is not the latest model, it is a really nice laptop.

2) The price saving as I can calculate is so insignificant as to make all of the extra hassle and lack of local store warranty not even remotely appealing.
Media Markt is imo by far the better and more sensible option for Swiss buyers.
