Advantages: Lots of interesting things

Disadvantages: Store layout can be messy

There is more than one thing about Lidl that attracts me. Though I shop in Tesco and Sainsbury, I tend to look forward to going to Lidl. I think it's the selection of foodstuff that is not commonly found locally and the weekly offers.

What I like about Lidl?

Chocolates selection- The Amazonian Dark Chocolate at 64% is my favourite buy. It's not only inexpensive as compared to other dark chocolate brands (89p), it's also less bitter.

Fruit and Vegetables- Most of their fruit and vegetables selection are cheaper especially those that are in season. However, it is important to check the fruit and vegetables as very often you can find over ripe and slightly spoilt ones.

Variety of European food- Very often Lidl will stock unique food stuff from Europe. It's fun trying out unfamiliar cuisine.

Weekly Offers- Every now and then we will come across very good buys like photo papers, remote controller and household appliances. These offers go very quickly and Lidl don't always carry the stocks again.

Wine- If like me, you are not fussy about wine, Lidl have a good selection of wine that is not very expensive. You can easily buy a bottle of red wine at £3.

The store layout is not as sophisticated and well organised like Tesco and Sainsbury, the store sometimes looks messy with empty boxes lying around. Perhaps that's what makes shopping in Lidl interesting. Rummaging through the weekly offers and stumbling into foods that I have not seen before.

Summary: Great savings and nice selection of foods and things
