Low fat potato salad. LOVELY. Chunky pieces but not rock hard lumps like Tesco's tends to be.

Anyone else a fan of Lidl's own-brand viennetta, specifically the coffee one? It is seriously delicious, and coffee ice-cream is normally quite hard to find.

The new low-fat version of their Eridanous Greek style yoghurt is really good.

Alfredo American Supreme Pizza at 1.49 was rather tasty!

Best non food items are the toiletries Cien showergel , 5 Blade shark razor ad blades , shaving foam and balm all a fraction of Lynx and Gilette and do the exact same job ... not mad on the deodorant though

Yep very impressed with the Shark Razor Blades since I moved over to them and it's saving me a fortune as they are a fraction of the cost of the Gillette ones.

The Deodorant is very rough though, I can feel it burning my skin and typically it isn't sensitive.

Picked up some frozen chicken in sherry tapas in the freezer section today? Anyone try them?

Only €4 with two tapas bowls

i stopped buying the gillette blades ages ago was getting the viking shave club ones delivered for a while before i tried the lidil ones , saves an absolute bomb.

Showergel is good , the shampoo is a bit so so , i use if for my beard to be honest , but yeh totally agree the deodorant is absolutely woeful

Haha I always get this and I love it. I like hot food though.

Are they always available? They're by far my favourite frozen pizza. Absolutely delicious and surprisingly hot.
I love spicy food though!

They seem to be available a lot of the time but sometimes they aren't. I don't like the other frozen pizzas there except the football special one that has olives and bacon with goats cheese. They usually have that one during soccer tournaments.

Sorry for OT but roll-on deodorants for €1.50 in Dealz are a no brainer for me.

Really like the shaving gel in Lidl. Has a lovely fresh smell.

The saucisson from the French week selection I quite like. Then again, I do like salamis etc full stop:D

inforfun · 05-10-2016 08:13AM

Saucisson is fantastic but i would like it if they for once had another variety than the ones with nuts.
Think i ate them too often and i am a bit in a "meh" state with them.

But a bottle of red wine, fresh baguette and saucisson... you can wake me up for that.
And waking me up is usually punishable by death.

Well they had one with cheese this time too, for variety

Spotted their own brand (Irish made) hot sauce and picked up a bottle. Haven't opened it until I use up what I have open. Anyone tried it?

I spotted that but haven't tried it.
Good ingredients, should be similar to Frank's

Had it today, appalling would be a generous description for it.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

I tried the potato salad and thought it was lovely, nice and light.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, I'm a lazy reader.

I do like their bags of dried Penne Rigate. 47c or 49c for a bag that will feed 4.

Always keep a few in for the next ice age.

Bit of olive oil, garlic, herbs, can be knocked into something edible quite quickly.

Surreptitious · 08-10-2016 06:50PM

I tired the salmon quiche from the french range and it was pretty nice. I also have a leek tart from the range in the fridge.

Just spotted these new small pots of Skyr for 69 cent each.
http://newtreats.blogspot.ie/2016/08/new-milbona-skyr-pots-lidl.html

Only tried the strawberry but it was lovely with real pieces of strawberry in it, and no added sugar (only 3.8g of sugar per 100g). Didn't see the plain one but hopefully they were just out of stock.

They contain artificial sweeteners instead of sugar though.

The frozen apple strudel is pretty good for a pre-made product.

Kat1170 · 17-10-2016 02:41PM

I see Lidl are now doing some of their toiletries in a 'mini' range. Lotions, toothpaste etc. Handy if you're travelling.

Any aerosols will still be dumped so a bit pointless, your dentist will probably give you a small sample tube of toothpaste if they ask, I always grab a load of freebies at my checkups.

Good idea, but I wish they'd do larger bottles too. For shower gel, anything less than 400ml size is a waste of time for me.

The toiletries are practically the same price as the bigger bottles, the small bottle of mouthwash is the same price as a big bottle.
