    I live in a hard water area in North East of England and it is difficult to keep clothes feeing soft and the whites white. The high calcium content is great for keeping your teeth and bones strong and healthy (Not had a filling since moving here 30 years ago!),,, but bad news for kidney stones sufferers and for the laundry....
    I have tried just about every powder over the years but nothing beats this powder from Lidl even when using the minimum recommended quantity in the wash - even old hard towels become soft and fluffy and it really brightens up light and white cottons.
    Would highly recommend:T

    At Lidl this week I bought English Blackberries - 50p a punnet.

    Delicious and and nicer than Sainsbury's ones at £1.99
    I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.

  • OH loves the shanks from ALDI. His favourite being the lamb shanks in mint gravy, followed the pork shanks in Onion and Balsamic gravy. The meat just falls of the bone and the gravy so, so tasty. Not cheap at £4.99 (lamb) and £3.99 (pork) for two but nice as a treat now and then.

  • Pepsi and diet pepsi on sale in Lidl for 50p for a 2 litre bottle. Max per person 4. But checkout girl said they were going to 2 per person later on today.

    Got one of the 99p frozen roast chicken dinners today (I was feeling lazy) I was pleasantly surprised how tasty it was, beef, lamb and turkey in the range reduced from £1.79 I think.
