This is one of those supermarkets where you see people either buying a buying one or two items, or they're stocking up with a box full of a particular item that's on special offer that week.
Personally, I wouldn't go here for my regular shopping but it has been one of those places to go in my lunch hour. The labels are all foreign but the quality is of a reasonable standard although it's best to try one before stocking up on something just because it's cheap because it may not actually be what you're used to - I purchased tuna many years ago and didn't like it.
Besides food - and they have an aisle of fresh food which is good quality - they also have aisles of clothes, homeware, presents and the like. This changes week by week and you can get a bargain although, it helps if you know what the price of the item is, sold elsewhere, so that you can make a comparison.
The first thing you may notice is the fact that there's no canned music - for me that's very welcome. I complained long and hard some years ago about the awful music in Tesco which you couldn't get away from as they had installed screens in every aisle (Tesco must have had a lot of complaints - you still have to ensure the screens but the music is much less irritating!) So the atmosphere in a Lidl store is akin to being in a library - it's very hushed.
My main criticism, no baskets, only trolleys for which you need to remember to have a pound coin on you. Secondly, they charge you for carrier bags. Personally, I don't hold with paying to advertise someone's company so always take my own.
This store has a car park which is located behind and above the store. The stairs being you down past the gym which is on the main road and, to reach the store as a pedestrian from the main road you walk down a wide, but well lit, corridor to reach the entrance turnstiles.
On the whole, an interesting place to shop but not for your main shopping. read more
