Yes, I shop at Lidl. Especially Christmas. They have fantastic (and cheap) Stollen, Leibkooken, sweets, chocolate, nuts, beer, spirits etc... I also buy from Netto as they do really good stuff as well. Forgot to add... their Panatonne is the best and cheapest around. My teenage children love it sliced and spread with butter. Oh, getting hungry now!!!

I shop at Netto AND Lidl AND Aldi, just love their bargains!! My 10 year old son often has friends round on a Saturday and absolutely hates it if I have shopped at any of the above. Doesn't seem to bother his friends though - they are willing to tuck into the food all day!! The number of times my kids have dived down into the back of the car because they have seen their friends their and are so embarrassed. I ask them what they think their friends are doing their, but it doesn't make any difference!! Mind you, I was probably like that at their age, it's only when you spend your own money that you lose your snobbery!! Best wishes Carol

HI PHILLIPA WE ARE WAITING FOR ONE TO OPEN BY US SOON SO I WILL BE SOON LOL.

I dont shop at Lidl, because I dont think much of the quality of the food, not because I am embaressed to be seen there.

yes we have shopped there many a time find they are good value also shopped at aldis any where as long as its good value and save money you have to being a pensioner jean

YES I LIKE LIDL, BUY A LOT OF STUFF FROM THERE. FUNNY ABOUT THE TURKEY CROWNS MENTIONED EARLIER OU LOCAL SHOP SOLD OUT TOO. LOVE LIDL COLESLAW IT'S LOVELY AND CREAMY. BUY THEIR ICE LOLLIES FOR THE KIDS AS THEY ARE CHEAP AND THEY LIKE THEM. YOU OFTEN GET A BARGAIN THERE. ALSO CHEAP VEG ON A THURSDAY AT HALF PRICE.

Funny isn't it, how one person can think the quality is poor, and yet another think it's good - it must be a matter of individual taste I think. Their jams and marmalades are second to none in my opinion, full of fruit and not too sweet - I could take a spoon to a jar of the Peach and Passionfruit one (and often do!). Not keen on their tinned soups, but I'm not keen on anyone's tinned soups. Their sardines in olive oil are delicious and half the price of other supermarkets. I don't buy their frozen veg, cos the quality of those DOES disappoint me and I'm not into ready meals from the freezer, so have never tried them. Their washing powder is rubbish and I wouldn't want it as a gift, but things like soap and toothpaste and shampoo are fine. Never occurred to me to be embarrassed shopping there! I see lots of local Chefs and Hotel owners shopping there too. OC

Ive had some super things from lidl. Got some sports socks 3years ago just wearing out, the ones I paid £8 a pair for are long gone. Have you tried their lime and lemon marmalade, got some in Skegness while on holiday its super.Elaine
