To think Mumsnet is being a bit heavy handed with its Lidl promoting?

[whataboutbob]

Lidl vlogger, Lidl job ads, Mumsnet seems to be on a campaign to get middle england shopping there.
Personally, I go there for some things, mostly olive oil and dried fruits. However I have a couple of problems with it. The milk is not british and we all know how much our dairy farmers are struggling to sell and get a decent price for their product. Also, the meat and meat products are mostly german. A lot of German meat comes from very intensively farmed giant cow units.

I do use ad blocker. But that link to the vlog is there all the time. I'll never click on it because I know all about Lidl due to already shopping there occasionally and the eleventy billion Lidla threads we get on here in Chat and Aibut.

It's a bloody supermarket! Can't we find something more interesting to talk about or vlog about?

Oh, the weird extras. I look but don't buy.

what's a vlog anyway?

LIDL is good for wine. Bit hit and miss on other products though.

Earlier this year, Lidl’s UK boss Ronny Gottschlich said the recession had helped it win the hearts of a group of price-conscious middle class shoppers it calls the "Maidstone mums", who would have considered shopping in Lidl social suicide during the years of plenty.

Classy.

I have a MIL and SILs that still feel that way ^ . MIL shops at Tesco, because that's a Respectable Supermarket.

Tesco is shit compared with Lidl.

[SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed]

I agree, Tesco isn't as good as Lidl. Nor is Asda - we drive past two branches of Asda to get to our nearest Lidl.

Lidl's low fat chocolate orange yogurt should come with a health warning it's so addictive.

[Mrsjayy]

Chocolate orange yoghurt you say . Tbf years ago people did look down their noses at Lidl now they talk about it like its some continental farmers market

Maybe MN is just promoting supermarkets that are paying the National Living Wage ? It's hardly Lidls fault they are the only one.
