I'm going to Lidl tomorrow...

Recommend me your favourite things!

Deluxe coleslaw
Lidl large lasagna, it’s very creamy.
They’re frozen paella, we add extra seafood to it and it makes a great one pan meal for 2.
Their Pecorino white wine is lovely.

I saw the most astonishingly handsome guy in Lidl once. Six foot plus, dark hair, gorgeous face- French or Italian looks. He clocked me staring at him and half smiled. I missed the moment to say something 😭

Don't miss Italian week 😭

Deluxe Gouda cheese and the sweet chilli crackers

I like their little mini magnum dupes - the almond ones.

Also their Portuguese egg tarts from the bakery.

The natural yoghurt with the blue and white lid.

The Ecuadorian 70% chocolate bar is amazing value at only 85p.

I like the almond handwash. I get the main shopping in Aldi/Sainsbury but I always stock up on the Lidl handwash.

Hortus gin. The Japanese cherry blossom gin. The Fevertree Mediterranean tonic water dupe is not nice but the original full fat Indian tonic water is fine.

The 10% fat Greek yogurt is the best!
Olives from the chiller cabinet.
Madame Glamour perfume is a dupe for Coco Mademoiselle.
The chilled coconut and caramel alfajores cakes during South American week.
But not the washing powder. It's terrible and doesn't dissolve properly.

Formil non bio liquid detergent. Really like this for washing the clothes.

Agree with pp that the frozen potato gratins are worth buying. DS1 likes their chocolate granola type cereal. Can't check the name as he has eaten it all! But it's in a brown and white box with the word 'honey' on it somewhere. Their fake Magnums are lovely. And the cheese and onion rolls and Bavarian pretzels from the bakery section are a hit here.

malt bloomer loaf
rye bread
cheese twists
their version of snickers

agree, not their feta

Anything in the bakery section, but the chocolate filled dougnuts need a special mention.

And they do have acoconut ice cream that comes in an actual coconit shell and is really nice.

The bakery is great - low GI rolls are delicious, brownies, sourdough loaf, mini pizzas and my favourite - cinnamon sweet buns

Second this - gorgeous

i love their jam donuts

It's really annoying about the feta because it forces me to go to Aldi, and it's such a staple these days.

From the toiletries, the oblong white boxes of tissues are good and I like the plain box. I don't want a ditsy floral tissue box clashing with my decor.

I've had the Tresemmé dupe blue/black bottle conditioner and it seemed good, what you would expect.

They have the best range of whole nuts - a pack each of cashews, walnuts, pecans, Brazil, pistachio, and hazelnuts is usually on my list!

Was just coming to mention the low GI rolls. The brownies are also fantastic. My kids eat the prepackaged pain au chocolats for breakfast.

Chicken poke bowls are better than the Itsu ones.

Coconut Greek yoghurt in the large tub, the smoked scamorza and most cheese is great. I've loved the crème fraiche potato salad forever.

Spanish jamon croquetas, Alpine florentines and the large bag of peanut flipz are all good specialties.

Chocolate lebkuchen shapes, and the marzipan with praline centres are lovely, as are the stollen bites.

The faux mint magnums and Solero are very good, as are the lotus style ones.

Frozen pastel de natas 😍
you have to cook for longer than the instructions say and then leave them to cool and set slightly. Delicious.

I got some lush French goat’s cheese there at the weekend - in the long, thin tube shape/box but creamy and rindless more like Welsh goat’s cheese! Had it last night and was surprised by how delicious it is!

The potato gratin in the chilled cabinet, I add grated cheese on top, very creamy and there is loads of it. The West Country butter both block and tub, the whipped garlic and herb cheese, fishcakes are quite nice, the ones with the melt in the middle centre, smoked salmon.

The mint magnum type of ice creams, the almond ones too, Greek style plain yoghurt, also the coconut one, the praline centre pastries, the cheese twists and the GI loaf, also the white crusty loaf.

There's actually not much I don't like in Lidl but I'd be here all day listing everything I do like. 😁
