    Never mind. That's probably because the picture is in a quote. Once people have had chance too see it we could move it out. Not to worry, I'll sort it tomorrow :)

    Lidl plain digestives - McVities are too sweet
    Lidl hazelnut praline squares, hubby likes the plain ones - feels very luxurious, yet very cheap.
    Lidl wholemeal bread - very tasty in sandwiches
    Lidl jams - very fruity

    We got some single cream from there the other day. We saw the same brand in Harrods for 20p more.

    Lidls own brand "Freeway" cola is amazing similar in taste to Coca-Cola. No "cheap coke" aftertaste either...

    Okay, I'll own up to my dirty secret. My usual haunts being Sainsbury's and Tesco's, I've only shopped in a Lidl once. And it was a horrible experience. Every bit of stock was foreign (so no idea what stuff is made of - calorie, salt, fat content etc), which meant you had to read the shop signs to know what you were picking up. The prices I suppose were lower, but I had a real problem comparing to what I usually buy. And then I had to find a box to stick everything in, as they didn't give out carrier bags. Is this what Lidl is like, or did I step into some other universe? Because I couldn't shop like this. Reading these posts I might be tempted to visit my local one to see if I imagined things...
