    Lidl Sour Bears were an occasional guilty pleasure of mine.

    Bought a packet yesterday and they aren't sour at all, anymore. I'm gutted.

    Greek Week! I'm a big Philhellena so have been gorging on Mythos, Oozo and the ice cream with honey.

    I might be dead by the time you read this message. Or in a sugar coma.

    Do LIDL stock anything similar to Muller rice desserts?

    Serious bargain in Lidl 😂


    Then again I've seen Tesco actually charge more for multi buy items 🙄

    I got a bag of frozen edamame beans in Lidl a couple of weeks ago. I never saw them before and I haven't seen them since.

    We're they a special?

    Tried the shrimp pancakes today. Nothing like I thought they'd be, but I loved them.

    Tried that Cream of The Crop Gelato from that Irish Kickstart range, what a let-down, especially for that price tag. Not creamy at all and tasted quite cheap.

    Also binned a bag of their Kearney's porridge, tasted really strange, as if the packaging had impacted on the flavour. I got it for free, still annoying when you have to bin 1,5kg of porridge.

    They have recently changed the recipe for their Handcooked Crisps Mature Cheese & Onion flavour and I think they are better now. I was never a big fan but OH liked them so we'd buy them. They are now a bit more cheesy in flavour, I found them a bit bland before. I'm quite partial to the Balsamic Vinegar and Sea Salt ones too.

    Really like their sour cream and onion lentil curls - tasty snack and only 93cals :-)

    Has anyone seen their deluxe barmbrack in stores this year? It was the only one I ever liked.

    Lidl have stopped selling my favourite wine of all time. A vinho verde. Granted it was less that 7 quid a bottle, so probably pure plonk, but I loved it. They have another one for 15 quid, outside my budget.

    I'm actually very annoyed.. 😁

    That was a lovely bottle. Maybe Vino Verde is a seasonal bottle so keep an eye out in case it comes back next year. Light and fresh - €7 is about the proper price for this.

    No, definitely not a seasonal product. Has been on the shelves for some time. I'm looking into online ordering some vinho verdes that we've enjoyed in Portugal.

    Lidl seem to have changed a lot of their standard range of wines for lower quality ones lately. This could have been a casualty.

    I have started buying some Aldi wine again as their quality has improved greatly recently. They may even have a vino Verde.

    Bit the bullet and bought the €15 vinho verde. Very disappointing. None of the crispness I would have expected. Just like an average bottle of wine.

    Won't be re-purchasing.

    Just made the switch to Lidl from Aldi myself and struggling to fine a nice white wine. Any recommendations for nice bottles of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio?

    There's a gorgeous PG di Venezia in Aldi, think it's 9.99, but I can't think of the name of it - it's in a dark, fat, heavy bottle. I might have a pic of the label somewhere, I'll post it if I can find it.

    ETA - whoops, I read that the wrong way around - you're looking for PG in Lidl! Can't help with that, I'm afraid, I find the wines much better in Aldi (apart from a red that is sometimes in Lidl, but I can't remember the name of that either!)

    Not Lidl either, but Supervalu: We had Invivo X (from Sarah Jessica Parker's wine range) recently and it was one of the best Sauvignon Blancs I've had. I often find them too acidic, but this one was just right. It's on offer at the moment, not exactly a bargain at 16€, but I'd get it again.

    The Lidl plus app is good to see if they have specials. It has different types of fish in it for this week. Not sure about trout.


    Freeway cola zero is very nice.

    The really nice English breakfast tea is now Scottish breakfast tea. Perfect for Scottish water it says. Well I dont have that water maybe thats why its so poor in comparison...

    I see LIDL doing a range of outdoor reared pork sausages and bacon from crowe farm - 2.99 for the 400g pack of sausages - great value compared to the normal crowe's price iirc (€4.30ish)
