    I'd recommend any Lidl chocolate bars - particularly fond of the coffee/cream one. Better quality than Cadburys etc and a fraction of the price.

    Agreed. But what happened to the coffe/cream one? Haven't seen it for months. Facebook campaign? :p

    Shop there regularly. Here's the stuff that gets general approval round ours:

    tortillas
    dark German sunflower bread (try it toasted with peanut butter, egg salad or cheese)
    tropical fruit juice with vitamins
    cloudy Lemonade/pink Lemonade (when in stock)
    sundried tomatoes in olive oil
    Greek goodies (jarred beans, stuffed vine leaves etc.)
    the better balsamic vinegar (short, roundish dark bottle)
    whole pepper in a grinder bottle
    smoked cheese (Rauchen kaas)
    parmesan cheese
    French camembert
    butter--they often have Anchor for less than Tesco store brand
    evaporated milk, .50p (I like it in my coffee)
    canned chili--it's more American-style than Brit-style, my son likes it a lot
    potato wedges
    hashbrowns
    ice cream, esp. the coffee and cream flavour they have sometimes
    tortilla chips
    Kettle chips-style potato crisps (59p/bag at one point)
    Belgian chocolate
    Black Forest ham

    not so hot:
    my cats turn up their noses at Lidl canned cat food
    I find their veggies big, coarse and nasty, esp.compared to the cheap, lovely stuff at my neighbourhood Asian greengrocers
    a lot of the packaged meat is the same water/chemical-injected rubbish the supermarkets sell. Cheaper, yeah, but YUCK. My son does like the frikadellen burgers, but if it's "meat," he'll eat it :rotfl:

    unsure:
    peach yogurt is quite an odd consistency and flavour, not sure if it's good or not yet


    Their offer on fillet steaks (2 for £6.99) looks good. Not sure if this is Aldi or Lidl, but I'll be cooking them tomorrow:beer:
