now the only question for me is do I go to Iceland and buy the coffee creams or send the OH so I can be given them for Christmas?  Or do I do both??

BOTH! As I don't think they sell them all year round!

Not quite, the Essex Riviera. Plus I got my fix today as I found my favourite coffee and walnut cake in Lidl earlier

No reply about the dodgy fish yet still waiting.

When I had a complaint about some ham I had bought at Lidl, I telephoned them. A very pleasant young man took my details and the details of the product including barcode and batch code, appologised and said they would investigate and get back to me. Two days later I received a letter telling me to go to the store with the letter and I would be refunded. I chose to get it replaced by another packet as it was a one off bad pack and this was done at the normal till. 

In my local lidl you can only use the self serve till if you just have a basket. No trolleys allowed even if you only have a few things.

A few weeks ago I bought a multi pack of Lidl’s split pot yoghurts and 4 of out 6 had splits in the fruity bit and all over the inside. Sent photos and got a £5 gift voucher.

I watched a programme last night ( called Tonight on ITV?). They compared a trolley of Christmas food from Aldi with M&S. The Aldi trolley was (in round figures) £40 but the M&S was £124!!!!. I know where my Christmas food will be coming from. 🤣

Never saw it, but seems a cheap shot, choose a known cheap store versus a an expensive one, why not compare with Fortnum & Mason's plus Harrod's while they were at it?
