Lidl Reviews

There are so many supermarkets out there today, and all of which are always competing with each other in relation to price. But then you have the discount supermarkets that people often forget about, and this is why I like to regularly shop in Lidl. This surpermarkets main competitor is probably Aldi and Netto as they offer the same products for ...  Read the complete review

Well then, let me see, about a year ago I would not have dreamt about going to Lidl for my shopping. Why? I come from Germany and never visited a Lidl store as long as I lived there, it is in general considered to be even cheaper than Aldi, and I don't mean the prices. However, living here in England I have found that Lidl is the closest I am ...  Read the complete review

This is the main reason why Lidl (and Aldi) are significantly cheaper than the main supermarkets: This came from an article in "The Grocer" (trade magazine). It said that the number of regular lines at Lidl is around 1500 compared to over 10,000 at Tesco. For instance, Lidl will only carry one size and brand of tinned tomatoes ...  Read the complete review

I have recently moved and my new closest supermarket is Lidl. I've been in Lidl before but not regularly because I have never had one close by. I wasn't really expecting much from it, I thought it would be useful for the odd loaf of bread or some vegatables but I thought my regular shop would probably still be in Tesco. I have to say ...  Read the complete review

Lidl is a German chain of supermarkets that has made its way over here to the UK, bringing with it its budget items at budget prices. With the credit crunch now officially announced as a recession, merely confirming what we sort of already knew, you can do a lot worse than go shopping in one of these stores. Lidl do feature a great deal ...  Read the complete review

As a family of two adults and three children plus a menagerie of animals our weekly food outgoings can be astronomical, especially taking into account the rise in food prices. I had previously switched many of my products to supermarkets 'value' brands and noticed the difference, however we were getting a little fed up with the same old thing week ...  Read the complete review

Had a Lidls store in my town now for about 9 months and doesnt seem that popular to be honest which is surprising with the credit crunch and only Morrisons as competition.The stores are tidy and well stocked with a lot of stock on pallets.What ive noticed is that the well known brands arent really any cheaper.Lidls have good cheaper alternatives ...  Read the complete review

My local area is relatively new to the whole Lidl experience having only had one branch for just over a year and another opened last month. A lot of people look down on this German chain for selling 'cheap' food. Yes, it is cheap but what they are missing is that a lot of the time the quality of the products is far better than the ...  Read the complete review

****** My trip to Lidl ****** My girlfriend and I started our Christmas shopping very early so we could spread the cost over a few months to help make it a bit easier, what with the current financial environment. Anyway, one of the things we started getting early was non perishable foods, you know the kind of things. Jars of pickles and ...  Read the complete review

Over the past few months I have read some articles regarding Lidl and the `type` if that is the right word to use, of shopper that Lidl`s attracts. It seems that some think its slightly `beneath` them to grace Lidl`s with their presence. Ive read all of this with a sense of bewilderment, I use a combination of supermarkets and discount stores ...  Read the complete review

I will admit it, I am a snob - always have been, much to the shame of my husband. So the "cheaper" shops like Aldi and Lidl didn't appeal to me because of that. However, I have a budget that I need to stick to for our groceries, and some months that budget is fairly small, so I can either buy less at my usual supermarkets, or ...  Read the complete review

LIDL is one of the stores that is quite isolated around the area, the rare person tends to go in it. I have seen the store on TV, various documentaries and television adverts - their prices have attracted me to check them out. They send a flyer actually around my area almost every other week with all their new products that they have ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Yes Lidl has some very cheap items, some foreign and still have god ...  Read the complete review

Do prices seam really high now? Do you need somewhere to shop to avoid high prices? Well Lidl is a foreign supermarket with quite low prices. I went today and got some good deals, like: jam at 29p tinned peas at 20p and quite a few cheap item. They all do seam to still have generally good quality tho. With Lidl they seam to ...  Read the complete review

Since Lidl opened it's first store in the UK back in 1994, it now has, up to date nearly 400 stores nationwide. Lidl was first established as a supermarket back 1973 in Germany, and every year grew and grew to become a huge success all over Germany. Thats why the founders decided to take there company further afield hoping for the same reaction in ...  Read the complete review

As I said in a previous review, I shop at both Aldi and Lidl although lately I have had a preference for Lidl. Here I'll try to explain why. First of all Lidl is bigger than Aldi in terms of space so stocks more products. I did a fruit and veg detox 2 months ago, which involved buying an impressive amount of fruit and veg. Had ...  Read the complete review

These stores seem to be built practically overnight. I know that up where I live it only took a couple of months for them to build and open the store. They take workmen from Germany over here to build for them and they seem to work all day and night. The store itself is good with great prices and always have offers on which change ...  Read the complete review

Lidl is known for being the cheapest supermarket to buy foods at. With the economy going through a recession, more and more people are starting to shop here. I persuaded my mum to go there and regretted it once we got to the store. It looked quite cheap and bad quality. The logo also did not look appealing but my mum insisted on going inside ...  Read the complete review

In my effort to tighten the purse strings a bit I decided to give my local Lidl store a try at the weekend. I have used them a few times in the past but found that you couldn't really do your weekly shop in here as the range of goods isn't that great. **Who are Lidl?** Lidl have a chain of grocery stores throughout Europe ...  Read the complete review
