We have Lidl here. It used to be a lower budget store but now it is aspiring to be somehow luxurious with commercials and cooking lessons from one of polish better masterchef.

Used to shop in Netto all the time, seeing as they stocked most of the brand name products I wanted cheaper than anywhere else. Then they sold their stores to Ugo and Asda Crying or Very sad

Sometimes go in Lidl. Seems pretty much the same, but less brands and more fucked up Scandinavian shit. Those processed sausages

Confused

What supermarket is there then? Certainly not AH then.
Because AH > Aldi and LIDL when it comes to meat quality..
Plus if you actually pay proper attention to discounts etc, you can shop just as cheap at the AH. Wink

Yeah, JA! stuff sucks! Surprisingly all the stuff by Penny themselves is really really good Smile

I also dislike the Gut & Günstig stuff by Edeka. Really not good :/

They have many products that literally suck, along with some good ones/deals. You need to be smart and outplay them, so going there with someone who is experienced and can give you useful feedback/advices is very recommended grinhurt


You ruin my view of Italians with each post man! Stop it!!
I have a Lidl 5 min walk away, but I will gladly travel 25 min in train to shop in a Italian foodshop.

Lidl is fine if all you have is a microwave and dentures.

lol! I blame the crisis mate Laughing
Seriously though, very rarely I visit that place, and when it happens that I buy food from there, it's just for cheap juices, snacks and some types of homemade pasta that don't suck.

As for proper pasta, meat, salumi, cheese and the rest, I have my own quality groceries. Smile

I got used to LIDL when getting fruit and pasta and cheese (and related products). Also some sweets, and their own mineral water (which is really cheap and does taste good). I like their themed weeks - eg. italian week with different pastas, spices, potato sauces...

lLidl would be considered a fucking paradise here in Chile Razz
We have "Lider" here, a Walmarkt filial. Now... THAT'S pure shit and products.
I buy usualy in "Jumbo" that's pretty decent but expensive as fuck. (even for 1rst world budgets).

those big chains are ruining everyone else here. from the good baker to the general mini stores from the neighborhood... they can't compete against them because they have a predatory payment politics (180 days at least) and if they're running low on money, they just offer more stock options or other financial subproducts....

I like Lidl for their themed goods, like cycling t-shirts and the like, pretty cheap. They're obviously not made from the newest and most advanced materials, but they do their job. There's also some better quality stuff under their own brand, cycling helmets were made by Cratoni for example (cost 50PLN, the same model with Cratoni logo 220PLN). Can't say anything about the food quality, I go there mostly for pistachios, cottage cheese and fresh fruit.

some imitation of real brands are really tasty, but other type of food are just junk. Laughing
i usually go there when i want to load up with candies, chips and stuff like that, thanks to the wide range of price and junk food i like! Very Happy
