Frequent shopping saves me money
Recently retired, I walk 30 minutes to Lidl 4 or 5 times a week to pick up a handful of groceries. I have the time and it's good exercise.

Kitchen roll
Decided to ‘do our bit’ and bought a Tesco own brand packet of kitchen roll with the smaller cardboard insert, supposedly saving % of manufacturing costs and paper. Great . . . . except the tube is too small for the holder. So I suppose any benefit of buying a smaller tube is spent on purchasing a smaller compatible holder…

As someone who has been baking my own bread for almost four years, I long ago opted to use the LIDL Belbake brand, for two reasons, first having used all manner of other more expensive brands I could tell no difference in quality or taste of the finsihed loaf, and secondly the cost of LIDL Belbake was far lower that of the…
