There must be somethings that you cannot buy in either.

Their health ranges are a bit limited. Only see painkillers, cough sweets and plasters.

Never seen any children's painkillers. They probably do them but as I don't have children, its something I don't buy.

    I can't think of much in a normal supermarket shopping trip that I can't get in Lidl, apart from catfood - mine won't touch their ranges.

    My local Lidl doesn't sell anything organic other than milk, tomatoes, carrots and pasta. Lidl HQ did tell me that they have organic meat and poultry but I've never seen it.

    Lidl do sell liquid paracetamol for kids. It's in sachets and it's called Galactopol or Galapol, something like that anyway.

    They don't sell wholemeal bread flour though!
