    no longer feel lidl is cheap anymore last time i went easter eggs cadburys which were selling for 1.99 bogof in sainsburys were 2.99 in lidl.also dont try their tin tomatoes same price as every where else and they are horrible. the only thing i like in lidl is their grape juice which is not a bad buy but has crept up in price.

  • the choco softies are lovely, like tunnocks tea cakes but much more marshmallow.
    they have an offer in my local one on charmin loo roll at the moment £5.36 for 24 at the moment.
    the ham's are fab and the country style bread is very nice

    I really like their orange juicethat comes in the 1.5 ltr box, its got a blue label on it and pictures of cut oranges. Not sure if its cheaper than everywhere else but its so nice and in such a big carton that it lasts me all week.

    Their chirozo sausage is yummy and their own brand choc mousse pots (in the yog section) are scrummy their cartons of passata are nice and last time I bought some they were only 29p so cheaper than saisnburys.
    Also found their bacon and chicken to be really good quality

    Their jam is very nice as well, it has lots of fruit in like the more expensive ones but is less than £1
    I wasnt keen on their shower gel as it gave me blotchy dry patches, and I didnt think the bread was any cheaper than anywhere else.

    I really like the little German sausages they do - Nuremberger Wurst - they come in twin packs of 8,like chipolatas. Delicious fried up with some onions and the long-life potato hash stuff, and served with mustard!

    don`t buy the frozen spicy chicken wings/legs, we had them for tea the other night and all 3 of us took one bite and left the rest...they were gross _pale_ their jams/conserves and nicer more expensive cuts of sliced meats are delish though
    proper prior planning prevents !!!!!! poor performance! :p

    The Black Forest ham is good, and as others pointed out, the jams are good, they actually have real whole strawberries in them, just like jam used to have

    Lidl's do more named brand stuff than they used to, but you do have to keep an eye on prices because sometimes the other supermarkets are cheaper.

    Their black bags are the strongest ones I've ever used and I won't use any others now.
