I love the chunky haddock or cod fillets.
Bacon is good and on offer at the moment.

I second that - Smaked bacon medalions - Lubbly drool.......
Cheapy deoderant - as good as linx - the only one I have found that is.
28p Maramalade - yummy
Frozen chips
All good
Milk - doesn't last as long as tescos.

We love the frozen paella. I sometimes add some morw prawns though.
I agree with the ornge juice in the 1.5ltr carons. My son drinks it by the gallon!

Smoked German Sausage - yummy

i like the veg, mainly becuase they are not irradiated and full of preservatives... however, this means they don't last long at all... 3 days tops in my experience whereas tesco stuff like their baby corn or mange touts can last a couple of weeks (!). Not so keen on the fruit, i've had a few problems with things like avocados and mangoes being rotten. But they do have a "local produce" section in my local one which i think is great.

The cooked/cured meats are excellent and i'm another fan of the feta cheese.

I want to give Lidl's a try and there is one I can use on my way home from work. Now I know they dont sell the regular branded stuff but that's ok. Today I'm after fruit and veg - is there a good selection? Also I'm after some farm assured sausages and burgers for a BBQ tomorrow - you know the kind, high meat %, free to roam animals etc - would they do this sort of thing?

fruit and veg definitely worth getting, depends on the offers but normally priced cheaply.

the burgers in the freezers are nice, 100% irish beef mostly, not sure on the sausages, haven't had them yet

have a nice BBQ!

our Lidl usually have some higher spec sausages pork and leek I think, but not sure about farm assured. I nipped into a Sainsbury's yesterday and couldn't believe how expensive their fruit and veg is. Supply is a little more erratic in Lidl, they do tend to run out of things sometimes.
