My Lidl saving

The_Pixi

Recently I have been using Lidl to start my shopping and anything I can't get there picking up from my old regular Sainsbury's, and I am amazed at the savings!
I tentatively began trying the meat at the start of the year and now can't believe I have been paying Sainsbury / Tesco prices all this time :rotfl:

Anyway, today I had a bit of spare time so I decided to plug my Lidl shopping into Sainsbury's online to see the actual difference. It was £9.34 about 28% cheaper.

When comparing I have chosen the option I would have chosen if I were only shopping in Sainsbury (I don't like the shops saying you can't compare this and that because if I was buying this stuff in Sainsbury I can only choose from the weight, portions, quality they have to pick from), for example instant noodles. I would not buy the Basic ones as they are smaller and not very good, however Sainsbury own brand are comparable to me to the Lidl label ones.

Here is my list

1. Sainsbury's British Pork Loin Steaks, Thin Cut x4 450g £4.50 [L]£1.19
   
2. Sainsbury's British Chicken Fillets 460g £4.50 [L]£3.49

Maybe the slogan should be:

• 'Live well for less than Waitrose'
• or 'Live well for less than someone with more money than sense'

Nice research, we have a Lidl opening near me soon! Can't wait.

Wow, that's a fine saving there! Trekking to Lidl might be worth the walk now

We have a Lidl, no car, bus too far to carry shopping so any savings would be wiped using a taxi

I do find Sainsburys food is better quality and does last longer than LIDL though...

The_Pixi

I dont, and I found the meet to be much better quality in terms of sizes and flavour.

Each to their own:D
