seeeeea - guh-ulls!

(I went to a match once )

And the parma/black forest hams

Also the little bars of 75% cocoa chocolate.

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaegulls

I shop at Lidls...but only because I don't have much choice....I live out in the sticks.

I like it though.....

Their sausage rolls are nice, veg is cheap, they do little iced finger cakes which I always buy (can't remember the name though.)
Dh likes the American Style Choc Chip Cookies
Microwave popcorn is good
Their coshida cat food is cheap and the cat seems to like it (It actually has peas in it!)

Nice xmas selection in too

oh and the cheese and onion pasties are nice too.

I love Lidl. The only things I don't like are their baked beans and tinned soup (v salty) everything else is fab.

Last time I was in they were selling Heinz baked beans at £1 for a 4 pack.

I bought four, that should keep us going for ages.

Yes, I noticed Heinz last time but we'd already stocked up on Branston beans. Will be getting Heinz next time.

This is fantastic. I'm printing out this list for next time we go.

I'm getting a Lidl after Christmas - it has arrived flatpack from Holland, and is being constructed impressively fast. So, what is best avoided? Apart from the polyester tracksuits. (I am a seagull, but very quiet if that is possible)

Has anyone mentioned the excellent pesto yet?

70% cocoa dark chocoalte is a barain and as good as the very expensive brands of proper chocolate!

The chocolate's a good one, about 50p for a big bar I think.

Basmati and jasmine rice both very reasonable as well.

mini ice creams for LOs. great for their small hans!!

Vanilla yoghurts???
I got some Creme Vanilla dessert in yoghurt type pots at the weekend, taste like custard. Is that what you mean?

seaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagull

They were seriously bargaintastic though Cod.
55p for 4!!

No, that's something different. The yoghurt is in a pack of 4 yellow tubs.

And these are in a pack of yellow tubs??

The yoghurty one is definitely labelled as proviact yoghurt. I hope I'm thinking of the right thing but I'm sure the custardy one is something else.

Anyway, if it's cheap and tasty it doesn't really matter!

I'll get bothe next time then

The Rooiboos tea is great. Less than half the price of the branded Rooiboos. They also have wild salmon frozen - really nice firm stuff, not like that dreadful flabby farmed gunk. The jumbo frozen prawns are also very good value.
