Small top up in Lidl yesterday, £7, stuck to list so all good. The local Lidl is now open later making it easier for us to go there on our way home, so my aim is to try and buy most, if not all, of our milk, bread, eggs and ham/cooked slices in there. They're cheaper for other things, of course, but we get through those four things in huge quantities (it's only me, DH and 14mo DS, but we seem to need at least 16 pints, 3 loaves and 18 eggs a week
the cooked meat is just cheaper and light to carry!). We can't carry too much stuff home which is why we get groceries delivered, but I think these will be alright as we pass it regularly enough. Milk is £1 for 4pts, their white farmhouse is now 59p, and the large free range eggs are 15.1p per egg so all very good.
Also just tried Lidl's Freeway cola the other day, it came with our takeaway. It's surprisingly good! I usually never go off-brand with coke but I would definitely give it a go again.
Just looked at my current spendy tally, it's... ahem... a tad steeper than I'd planned. But, in for a penny in for a pound
It's all very much needed and I have some peace of mind knowing that'll be it for years. DH's boots are gorgeous (I love them far more than he ever will!), the quality is such that you can wear them solidly for 5-10 years and only need to resole them once and they still look fantastic, so they're not that expensive taking that into consideration.
Once it has all arrived safely we will be getting rid of all of the stuff that is now on its last legs. DH's lovely boots are replacing a pair that we got from Clarks 3 years ago, I trusted Clarks , but they were so disappointing
And we weren't able to replace them. I got a pair of shoes there at the same time and they were falling apart within a year, I couldn't believe it! So I'm a bit burned by that experience. Only DS gets shoes from Clarks now, and he only has the one pair that were bought on sale. The next pair will be Crocs! (I'm unreasonably excited about buying DS a pair of Crocs in summer...).
