Lidl Reviews

All i can say is blame it on the giant baked pretzel! I'm only a recent convert to Lidl. I'd tried them in the past and found the range of food stocked to be too narrow. I'm veggie and don't want to go to half a dozen stores to assemble the ingredients for just one meal. Then, after hearing for the umpteenth time that the ...  Read the complete review

Hi. Until recently, I would not use Lidl due to some of my female friends saying that they never go there to shop. I never asked them why, I just took them on their word. Then, a few months ago, when it was snowing badly, I had to walk to get food supplies. The nearest shop was Lidl. So, with ...  Read the complete review

A new supermarket near me As a non driver I have to admit proximity dies play a part in where I shop - so when a new Lidl store opened on my way home from town I was a little bit pleased. Lidl is a budget supermarket, and as a chain of European descent it stocks a lot of brands that I would have historically ...  Read the complete review

Lidl are commonly referred to as a budget supermarket, with some claiming prices are cheaper than Asda and Tescos. I visited for the first time last week with this advice in mind. First impressions on walking in was that it felt like being in continental Europe for the style of shopping and the large range of foreign products ...  Read the complete review

Back in 1994 there were rumours of a new phenomenon flying around the country. Tales of a new supermarket originally from Germany that offered extremely low prices was rumoured to have the likes of Tesco and Asda quaking in their cut price shoes. They were a novelty, you could wander in and look at these jars of pickled ...  Read the complete review

Today I had my first shopping experience at Lidl and I must say I was quite impressed. As I no longer life with my parents shopping on a budget is really important, an on a recommendation of a friend I decided to test out my local Lidl. On first entering the shop it did seem to have a small selection of products but the aisles were wide ...  Read the complete review

Having always been a Waitrose and Tesco girl, I first visited a Lidl with my snobby head on and considered the store to be untidy and the check-out policy to be too rushed; however, having sampled the free-range and British meat on offer, as well as the very good quality vegetables (British when in season) on offer, I rapidly changed my ...  Read the complete review

New Malden Lidl Store Review. Prices aren't too bad, but expect a near zero rating for customer service at the check out. This is the store's biggest problem and is standard procedure for all staff. Lidl is legendary for its poor customer service at the till, known as 'Check Out and Throw Out.' Anyone who is buying more than a few items ...  Read the complete review

Happened to go shopping with my friend to Lidl, to save on petrol. We had the same trolly, but intended to pay separately. They had an offer on meat, so we took quite a few packs. While I was queuing to pay my friend went to look for something else and the manager approached me and said:'You're not having those. It's 6 per ...  Read the complete review

A few years back i was a food snob wouldnt have gone near lidl and similar but after the start of the recession and me opening my eyes i realised these places weren't bad and neither was the food it was just different brands at different prices. Lidl is expanding through europe as they state on their 'about us' and this is ...  Read the complete review

WHY I SWITCHED TO LIDL My partner and I are frantically trying to save at the moment, and one of my concerns was the money we spend on groceries each week. Usually £65 a week, not including food and litter for our cats! We have a Lidl near us, and gradually started buying some of our groceries there. Now we do the ...  Read the complete review

I must admit, I have been something of a supermarket snob over the past few years, preferring Tesco to all others, Marks & Spencers once in a while and could just about force myself to go into Morrisons & Asda. Due to a prolapsed disc in my spine I have become quite reliant on my mum since Christmas 2010 - she shops around ...  Read the complete review

I have recently started to do about half of my weekly shopping at Lidl to try and cut down on the amount of money that we spend on feeding the family. I was a bit sceptical at first I suppose a lifetime of shopping at Tesco etc and never trying the smaller supermarkets had made me a bit of a brand snob! , but gave it a go and must ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely love Lidl. First of all I always make a shopping list via Mysupermarket.com. I find the best value supermarket for my items on that day. I print my shopping list and then head to my local Lidl. I find that most items are cheaper in Lidl than in my local supermarket. My husband loves their muesli and it is full of lots ...  Read the complete review

As far as I'm concerned, Lidl is a very good shop. I live in a small village in Devon and about two years ago a Lidl came to one of the towns near us. This was great as we only have one tiny and rather rubbish shop here that sells lots of overpriced goods on the basis that it has no competition! It's so much easier to now pop in and out ...  Read the complete review

I have 2 branches of Lidl near me; one is larger, better stocked and has generally fresher produce than the other - why I don't know but that's how it is; I use Lidl for a certain range of items that I find are cheaper and better or as good as those in my other local supermarketrs. I'm trying to stick to a budget and will usually buy ...  Read the complete review

Lidl is a discount German supermarket chain. I find that I'm able to make some good savings by going here, however, they don't offer the selection of the larger supermarket chains such as Tesco and Sainsburys. Lidl's products are from Europe, and are sold at very competitive rates. I find that I am able to make savings on a ...  Read the complete review

I love going to Lidl. I get their weekly specials via email and as the items are often good quality, I keenly watch to see what's on offer on Monday and Thursday. I have bought no end of items for the house and for ourselves there that we've been very happy with and purchased for far less cash than elsewhere.While for the most part, I go to Lidl is for the bi-weekly specials, the food is also good quality and I often do a fair amount of grocery shopping as well. I like the fact that foods from the continent are readily available and at a fair price. The service and staff is great in both the Lidl's I go to in Derby. It's not so pretty but for a discount store, it has often far more to offer than the regular supermarkets in the UK.

I'm suprised that there are so many bad reviews for Lidls on this site. My local Lidl is not near to me but when driving or I see an ad for an offer then I'll take a trip in. They are originally a German store I believe and sell a lot of German products as well as branded and basic ranges. I think it ...  Read the complete review

the food quality is not good as before in particular the chocolate chip cookies, before it was nice and crispy but know it tastes like its out of date and soft, as i really like these cookies i think this complaint should be taken seriously.thank you Hope i see some changes.
