Never tried Lidl but some of the Aldi stuff is ok. We get the German cheeses and cured meats from there, s'good.
Dunno what the brands are though, its all called Blinkelflumpel, and Floop etc. They do some good Lion bar copies called 'Roar', i'm quite partial to those.Comment

Some of the dried sausage and cheeses are good in Lidl, as are the staples for pasta sauce making; sundried tomatoes, wild mushrooms in oil, passata, olive oil etc. etc., and it's all cheaper than the 'big four' UK supermarkets.
Our nearest one even has good quality, cheap fresh veg.Comment

Originally posted by Darren_Test View PostGone to Lidl today & quite surprised with brands saw there. At least 80% brands saw there never seen in any other shops..!! Many of them written in different languages as well. Then saw in wiki LIDL & ALDI are German super stores. But colour schemes used for many of those Lidl brands are similar to their famous branded cousins. Looked like more a counterfeit shop to me.
Any good/bad experience with Lidl brands..?Comment

What Lidl's and Aldi's sell tends to reflect the area they are based in and near.
There is no point selling sundried tomatoes if people in the local area don't eat them.
Anyway both shops often have some good gardening bargains as long as you have a clue about the plants and seeds you want to buy. The seeds tend to be completely different varieties from the ones sold in other UK outlets."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
