I went to Lidl

[WhyDooLittleStarsShine]

and I was pleasantly surprised...
I was expecting all sorts of hideousness but actually it was not too bad.

Now tell me, what should I get next time?

why what did you buy this time?

all the stuff that the Germans like is a safe bet!

Christmas gingerbread biscuits with icing on them.
Salami sausage
Onken type coffee dessert , only alot cheaper

can't remember the rest. We only spent £10 but we filled a bag

Have a look at this article it gives you a good idea of what to get!

Parmesan is good, as is olive oil, cold meats, cheeeses, part baked ciabatta.

I find that you can get things like tinned tomatoes from Lidl for the same price as Tesco Valur ones but the quality is much better in Lidl.

Thanks for that Lucycat. That's brilliant!!

No problem always glad to convert someone else to the joys of Lidl!!

I buy theri kitchen roll too, £1.29 for 4 rolls and it's fine for mopping up stuff.

oh and I like their red box of tea bags 29p for 80 - I like my tea strong!!

their cleaning stuff are a bargain. laundry detergents, washing up liquid and mopping stuff.

also look out for their yogosan(sp) vanilla yoghurt. food of the gods.

Their washing powder is fab
Little bars of chocoalte with nuts in

THis is excellent Ladies - keep them coming.
Dh is loving this...he is scrooge reincarnate

tiramisu ice cream

weiss beer (trust me, before I was a sahm I worked in the brewing industry)

generally very good for the basics but watch for gelatine in the toothpaste if you're a vegetarian

their emmenthal, edam and gouda cheeses.
also their cold cuts

we always do our weekly shop in LIDL,the peanut butter is delicious

ALDI is quite good too. I buy everything that isn't a brand name from either ALDI or LIDL.

I tend to just go in for the specials, grill and pots and pan next week .
