Advantages: cheap, good quality

Disadvantages: stock changing, cant guarantee having specific items

Lidl is the ultimate in bargain basement supermarkets. Walking in does make you feel slightly like you have stumbled into a warehouse, and there is a stack it high sell em cheap mentality.

That aside, the quality of the goos in there are normally superb, often outstripping supermarket own brand, and sometimes even branded items for a fraction of the price. If you do like your brands though, then lidl is a no no, as it tends to stock foreign makes.

Also, they chop and change some of their stock quite alot, so guaranteeing to pick up certain items is impossibe. And in most lidl stores it wouldn't be practical to try and do a weeks food shop. The best way to use lidl is to visit before doing your main shopping, and buy all the cheap bits here first, to cut your overall spending...just go careful not tooverdo it on the treaty bits that just look nice.

Lidl dont have clothing or electrical ranges per se, but they do often have different non-food items in at very reasonable prices, but it is very much pot luck as to what they have, and when they get it in it doesnt stay for long normally!

Summary: get alot for your money here!
