The muesli is worth a try Goody luxury fruit and nut, used to get it for 99p when on offer, but gone up quite a bit and now around £1.49 when on offer, though have seen it for £1.29.
Makes lovely muesli cakes (like crispie cakes), using Lidl chocolate when half-price at only 17p per 100g bar for milk.
300ml pots of double cream are decently priced at 85p'ish, saves looking for offers at other places!!

Definitely going to give it a go...dragged yet more cereal out of tthe recesses of my food cupboard yesterday, this seems like a good solution to using it up.

Balsamic and grape dressing when it's about - makes green salad a lot easier to eat!

I agree that LIDL Goody luxury mueslis are the best & great value. I buy that & their Swiss Muesli & mix the two, 50/50. I find it makes the perfect blend.

Cien shower gel is great. Nothing like the big supermarkets own brand cheap shower gel. It is thick and gloopy. Orange one smells great and for 47p (if memory serves) you can't go wrong

Two huge thumbs up for their range of frozen pizzas; as good as any brand out there.

Also love their breaded mozerella, fresh lasagna and Wintraub mustard.

I buy the pitta breads, bake at home bagettes and naan breads. Oven chips are quite good as well.

The more I visit, the more I discover.

Vita D'or Mayo - Fraction of the price of Hellmans, but tastes amazing.
Dishwasher tablets
Porridge oats - Very good vfm
Apple Juice - the Vitafit one
Ice cream
Gammon
Fruit & Veg - always lovely and fresh in our store
Milk
Butter
Yogurts
cheeses - especially parmegano
Pasta and bread
They've just started doing a really good seeded loaf which is very similar to a quite expensive one in Asda - It tastes lovely
Dog food
Tinned stuff, especially mushy peas.. well cheap.
Sardines, mackerel etc (tinned)
Tomato Puree
Pasta
and lots more - if I remember, Ill come back onto the thread ; Happy Shopping... one of the best things is just going there and seeing all these weird and different things. Oh, we did get a set of six pates - luxury ones as a treat a couple of weeks ago.. and they are to die for! Duluxe range. The pots, after you have finished with them make excellent pots for herbs (which we buy in bulk from the market). We write on the outside of the pot with permanent markers.

White chocolate with strawberry bits in - delish.

Oh and I like their doussy fabric softener too.

Happy Shopping.

Haha Lidl mayo was voted one of the best (on bbc news website) I love it and the ketchup is rather good too.
Yep the luxury coleslaw is fab but even better is the potato salad in a wacking great plastic thing.
I don't like the meat personally but then I may have been unlucky!
Washing stuff is brilliant as are the loo rolls - the aloe vera 3 ply are really good.
They do a frozen meat pie which is awsome when I don't burn it!
oh I nearly forgot, they do a big pack of tissues 18 I think - handy packs -and they are the only ones that don't break up in bits in the washing machine - yeah I know.
Good luck with your move.

Landing in our trolley in Lidl on a regular basis are:

1) The muesli that Lynsey mentioned - there are two varieties, 1 in a blue bag, 1 in a green bag, think one has extra nuts in? (I don't eat it as I don't like muesli full stop, but OH loves it)

2) The standard crispbreads and sesame seed crispbreads - both 59p a packet

3) The white chocolate with strawberry crispy bits in (99p a bar, and a couple of squares is enough for me, so even better value for money)

4) Aubergines - don't see these cheaper anywhere else round here these days

5) Limes - often 5 for £1 (although if going to Costco I get my limes there at 12 for £1.99)

6) Raisin oat crunchy and tropical oat crunchy - both seem to have more fruit in than the Sainsburys and Tesco versions and both are less per bag - only have a bowl at weekends as a treat, stick to boring wheat biscuits in the week, less effort to eat in the mornings )

7) Passata - nice and err tomatoey? 29p a pack normally

8) Tomato puree

9) Canned kidney beans - as cheap, sometimes cheaper than Value/Basics/Savers ones

10) Canned butterbeans

11) Peppers which are often cheaper here than elsewhere

12) Cucumber, again often cheaper than elsewhere

13) Good offers on bottled beers - OH a Shepherd Neame fan and Lidl quite often have an offer of 8 bottles for £8 on Dragon Fire, Up And Under and Tapping The Admiral (some of which may be exclusive to Lidl)

14) Have to disagree with Edwardia on some of the Lidl wines (and I'm not a Blossom Hill drinker either ) We like the Cimarosa Sauvignon Blanc (Chilean), the Cimarosa Pedro Jimenez (Chilean) and the Cimarosa Cabernet Sauvignon (the South African one though, didn't like the Chilean one)

15) Free range eggs - although my local store (St Neots) has not had any for several weeks now (or if they have, not on a Saturday morning )

16) The Freshona gherkins - 65p a jar. Crunchy (can't stand a soggy gherkin) and the right balance of sweet and sour

17) Another vote for the 18 handy packs of tissues, think these are about £1.49? Also buy the "normal" tissues, cheaper than Value/Basics last time I looked

18) Crusti Croc pretzels, 79p a bag

19) At Christmas time we buy the Crusti Croc mixed nibbles tray at 99p a pack

20) Pack of 50 glasses cleaning cloths, around £1.49? Great for cleaning our camera screens when out and about

21) Cien hand soap - 500ml for 55p I think?

22) Jet Gum chewing gum pieces in a bag - currently 39p for 30+ pieces.

Plus of course there are Lidl's weekly and weekend only offers, with often great prices on branded stuff.

Enjoy discovering Lidl

love their extra spicy pasta sauce, tuna steaks in tins, apple juice, sole gougons (frozen), yorkshire puddings, quiche ...
