Post by: Fork on September 04, 2008, 13:13:22: What do you want us to say?....poor Lidl?.

Of course we've all heard of Lidl. I do quite alot of shopping there and in other "cheaper" stores like Netto and Aldi.

Nothing we can say will change their pofit outcome!

The bonus is you do not have to concern yourself with their profits ::) ::) ::)

Post by: ACE on September 04, 2008, 14:21:18: I have used lidls in germany when we are touring, I have noticed that they swop the Euro sign for the pound sign for the same goods. Last year the euro was worth about 70p so the price difference in England was quite substantial. Now the Euro is catching up on the pound so the english profits are falling, that is why there are some big jumps in prices.

We will keep on buying as we are used to being ripped off. Also if you eat tinned steak you deserve all you get.
Discusting habit! ;)

Betula,that's not your voice over on the Marks adverts is it ? These are not just bananas they are twice as much as anywhere else bananas.

Post by: kt. on September 04, 2008, 14:27:46: Wouldn't shop at Harrods or Marks & Sparks due to their high prices. Never shopped at Lidl and my nearest Aldi is totally rubbish now (never used to be). There is Tesco, Sainsbury and Morrisons where I live. They are not too badly priced because they are all within 100yds of each other.

Betula,that's not your voice over on the Marks adverts is it ? These are not just bananas they are twice as much as anywhere else bananas.

I must admit my very fave food is Marks and Spencers.............always good quality.

Over the bank holiday they had a meal for two deal including wine and I thought it was good value.

Bananas..........hmmm maybe not,we are lucky enough to have a green grocer in the village and as we stay in Tewkesbury quite often I like to use the market theare.
Even when funds were low I would not use Lidl.I have only ever been in one once and I hated it,preferred to buy Tesco or sainsburys own brands.

Harrods was a joke by the wayLOL
Title: Re: LIDL SET TO LOSE MILLIONS
Post by: Fork on September 04, 2008, 15:00:28: When Lidl,Aldi and Netto first opened in this area people turned their noses up because of the cheap goods.

When people started shopping their children were ridiculed by others because their parents shopped in these places.

However,these shops now sell many many "branded varieties" much cheaper than Tesco's etc.

If I could get everything I needed at Aldi I would do all my shop there.I enjoy the variety of "continental" foods they supply.
Title: Re: LIDL SET TO LOSE MILLIONS
Post by: Trixiebelle on September 04, 2008, 15:05:24: I LOVE Lidl! ;D

Don't think they're about to lose millions based on a price rise on tinned steak though.

Everything's gone up due to hikes in costs all over the place ... animal feed, distribution costs etc.
Title: Re: LIDL SET TO LOSE MILLIONS
Post by: star on September 04, 2008, 15:17:14: I shop at Lidl too, though I shop selectively. Not everything at Lidl, Netto or Aldi is nice, so bread as an example is never bought there.

For other stuff..........they are great shops!

Post by: twinkletoes on September 04, 2008, 15:38:05: I love to browse in Aldi and Lidl - don't always buy anything though. Can't remember which of them I went in but one did a really nice "salad" - you know like a potato salad thing - it has leeks and ham in it and it was dead delish. ;D Otherwise I am an Asda-girl.

I shop at Morrisons and ALDI, Morrisons Large eggs went up from £1.09 to £2.09 then £2.29 per dozen (19p each), ALDI's big eggs 99p per 10 (9.9p each). I know which I prefer.

I like Lidls potato salad with chives. £1.49. Its about the only thing I buy in there.

I'd agree - most of its gone off before you get to the checkout.
Title: Re: LIDL SET TO LOSE MILLIONS
Post by: lavenderlux on September 05, 2008, 07:49:37: I like Aldi for their plants - like:
Collection of six plants (I think it was £3.99) last Autumn for winter hanging baskets/container - conifer, ivy, festuca grass, thyme, cyclamen (and one I can't remember) - all have done brilliantly and still looking good
Collection of summer hanging basket plants - my basket has been beautiful and still going strong
Pack of six Autumn flowering cyclamen in mixed colours - five out of six plants survived and are coming into flower again PLUS one of them produced a seed pod - saved and sowed the seeds and have twenty plus young cyclamen plants, don't think they'll flower this year but hopefully next

Also Lidl have good plant offers too - like six Box plants for (I think it was £2.99) - using these for topiary and have also taken cuttings from them. They also did some reasonable quality secateurs for 99p earlier this year

I think, as in all shops, you need to 'pick out' what you think are the bargins for you

Post by: flowerofshona2007 on September 05, 2008, 07:58:57: We have a great Lidl just up the road and we shop there every week but get a few bits from Asda.
The fruit and veggies are fresh in our store as they sell out every day !
I buy 20 cucumbers and 14 celery a week there as i need them for the guinea pigs !
When we first moved here i would not shop there ! now im used to there products its fine :)
I only went to M & S once and never again !! over priced, poor selection, and great if your to lazy to cook !!
Title: Re: LIDL SET TO LOSE MILLIONS
Post by: Doris_Pinks on September 05, 2008, 09:10:54: We love Lidls..........only certain stuff though! Their hams etc. are great, potato salad as said here fab, cheeses great prices, and I can highly recommend their chocolate covered raisins! ;) My sister has just told me that their pork n herb sausages are great, so will be trying them soon. I tend to go on recommendations as to whats good and bad in there. The main with problem with the veg at ours, is it dissapears so fast often none there when we get there!
Wine excellent price too, which is ahem, mainly why we shop there!
We top up with Morrisons and tescos, have a waitrose here, but can't afford to shop in it. :'( :'( :'(

This site is so great, now it even gives me share trading tips. On the basis of the Zimbabwe style inflation on the cost of tinned Steak I shall follow mustavagander's financial projections and ditch my holdings in Lidl AG, maybe I'll invest in the Tinned Steak Commodity Market instead.

Post by: tricia on September 05, 2008, 12:14:42: Why shop at Lidl or Aldi if you don't like their prices mustavagander? There are other stores who will take an even greater slice of your hard earned cash. Especially now with just about everything rising in price.

I do my main shop at Lidl and am always surprised at the amount of foodstuffs I get for my money. My top up shop is usually Somerfield and the odd visit to the out of town Morrison's where I have to use the car. Otherwise my shopping trolley and I are only 6 minutes on foot away from either Lidl or Somerfields. A healthy way to shop too!!

Stewed steak in gravy. It looks & smells like dog food but is allegedly fit for human consumption.

Title: Re: LIDL SET TO LOSE MILLIONS
Post by: pudding on September 07, 2008, 12:09:44: Perhaps this reflects a sea change in the way many of us shop - used to be people did just the one big weekly supermarket shop, but now it seems shopping selectively according to the best value for money for different things in different shops - certainly I and many people I know do this, and shop locally in between or just manage with dried/tinned goods etc for a few days to cut those trips in the car to the supermarkets to one a month/six weeks instead of one a week.

And LIDLs I love for their veg and fruit and cleaning products and seeds and flowers and special offers like fishing gear a couple of months ago - but you have to inspect everything you buy wherever you buy it, surely? If some of the veg and fruit are tired I dont buy them, I buy ones that are ok, or go somewhere else or do without.

Post by: pippy on September 07, 2008, 12:45:42: Has anyone else tried their frozen fish? I use the boxed ones with 2 tuna or salmon steaks, each seperately vacuum packed so you can do them for one (when OH is away). Also their boxed frozen King Prawns are good. Have to say it beats the "fresh fish" counters offerings for freshness!

I go to Lidls once a week - on a Sunday with OH. He thoroughly enjoys browsing round for the gizbos on sale and has come away with Spirit level, pond pump, socket set etc. etc. Their quality and price of fruit and veg are good and I like their Italian ice cream. Shall be looking in this afternoon. Shall check out this tinned stewed steak!!

I should around and use all the supermarkets including Lidl but I found they were not cheap for everything anyway as they did use the same amounts as other supermarkets. Ie Tesco cornflakes sell 500g a couple pence dearer than Lidl which sold them in 400g.

Post by: Borlotti on September 08, 2008, 19:38:43: We have got a Lidl opened in Enfield. I went there once and bought a collapsible wheelbarrow, very cheap. I suppose it is a good shop if you have the time to look, but I must say I HATE IT. It is depressing and down beat and makes me want to scream, it is next to Argos so it is doubly depressing, and a trip round Superdrug then Woolworths and I have to go to the allotment and dig. I think my worst shop is B & Q, I must be getting old course I pay more and shop in the local small shops where they speak to me. I don't want to offend anyone but I really, really hope they close down and go back where they come from. Have they lost millions of pounds or millions of customers, people lost in their horrible depressing shop.

I'm a bit surprised, in view of the occasional outcries against Tesco and Asda on this forum, that no-one has so far mentioned Lidl's extremely unsavoury reputation in their treatment of staff. Neither are they committed to fair trade or ethical sourcing. Aldi too have often been criticised for the same things. I think they're both rather unpleasant companies, and make Tesco look like Oxfam in terms of ethics.
