After trying one of them I used the other to re-sole my shoe
Ahh...this combined with Ms T's comments make me thing I might give the meat a swerve. That's a shame, cos the steaks from Aldi are good - not the greatest steaks ever, but pretty good for £2.99.

a complex mass of conflicting ideas
Pootle, the Medalisk back bacon and Grangedale(various types) pork sausages are fine. We don't eat beef unless it's highland cow or lamb so no idea what it's like.

Mine love that.
I will never forget my first visit to Lidl - staggered out with two heavy carrier bags for £12.
They are brilliant for olive oil, parmesan, tinned stuff, cheapo fruit juice, mineral water & the above-mentioned catfood.
They won't touch that.
They like the more expensive Opticat, which comes in sachets -- oh, but not the purple or dark green ones, the fussy buggers.

They had stacks of easter related chocolate goodness when I was in there. Another bonus point to Lidl is all the yummy european chocolate rather than the crappy english chocolate we get. So many marzipan based yummyness.
This is something I am going to have to try hard to avoid I reckon. Bah!
marzipan...mmmhhh
on my lidl list is: toilet paper. olive oil, feta cheese, something sweet, and whatever i can dig out of the basket bargains.
so far i have purchased: christmas deco, a boule game, lots of stationary, a water tap and a toilet seat.
going to lidl is always a bit of an adventure, though it can go any direction from delightful up to horrible. they remind me from the clientel going there to the former kwik safe near the brixton rec.
when i am in germany i would prefer aldi over lidl i think.
my mum would not go near either of those two supermarkets, cheap shopping seems to be a more modern phenomenon.

He's open from about 7:30 am if that's any help...why not do a weekly shop and stick some in the freezer?

You mean this has happened more than once???Never noticed it before ...
We get Lidl-leafletted because the Old Kent Road** Lidls is so near. We got the latest leaflet only today, and were expressing similar bewilderment to posters above ...
**(that well known haunt of equestrianism!!)
there are actually stables in bermondsey, not very far from the old kent road. a short ride from lidl.

The club targets young people in danger of social exclusion, whether through school exclusion, home circumstances, health, or poverty. We are now planning a major expansion to build a top class horse riding facility at Loughborough Junction.The Ebony Horse Club is Britain’s biggest provider of access to horse riding for ethnic minorities and Brixton’s best kept secret!

indeed, it is my understanding that supermarket meat, to save on cost of hanging meat, sell it freshly killed, unlike traditional butchers.

Lidl is just about the only supermarket I use these days. On my shopping list:
Dulano ham
The butter called 'butter'.
Proviact live yoghurt, plain and vanilla
Parmesan
Horseradish soft cheese - highly moreish..
74% bitter chocolate
The Ocean Sea smoked salmon steaks - excellent for fishy stir fries.
Tinned toms, kidney & butter beans, sardines and mackerel fillets.
Coshida cat food
Tomatoes, kiwis, celeriac, broccoli, red onions - although I don't tend to buy a lot of fruit/veg from there, I have been impressed with the flavour of what I have bought. Perhaps there's less insistence on uniform appearance so tastier varieties manage to make their way onto the shelves. You need to check for freshness though.

Thanks for the heads up - I got a brilliant tank bag and a new lock

I don't think they're great here either.. my brother worked at the one in Sydenham and they treated him appallingly - although no worse that Tescos tbh...
