Nearly THREE flaming MONTHS of stollen.
Lidl stollen is about the only christmas product I can tolerate outside peak season - except maybe the chocolate alcohol balls that are more or less all vodka!
It means that you are online (assuming that you set up your profile to show online status).
In that case you certainly don't want to try the poppy seed one or the apple variant. Nor should you even allow yourself to become aware of the addictive (and I don't use that word lightly) stollen bites. And it would be cruel of me to mention their sticks of pineapple in marzipan with a dark chocolate coating.Nothing particularly exciting in Lidl this morning but I have a belly full of hazlenut stollen when I should be on a diet because of you people.
The tins of nuts, however, should definitely be hoarded at all costs, and their panettone is well worth buying early.
BTW Lidl's mince pies are very good value for the money but the ones currently on sale have a best before date of early November.
Incidentally, the Dornfelder wine, the limoncino liqueur (only available in Italian week), the Normandy cider (only available in French week), the water softener tablets, the Belgian chocolates, the nurnbergers, the bratwursts, and bockwursts, are a total waste of time and money, which I'll gladly spare you the trouble of buying in Lidl.

You can get similar in some places which sell Polish food, although not as cheaply as Lidl did them.

Hardly getting over it.
Was it me?
No. Can't have been, because I've not been in Aldi today, but that sounds certainly like something I'd do - three bottles of gin and some of their tins of mackerel.
I'll second the approval of the Christmas stuff. That bloody Stollen is like crack to me. Maybe it has got crack in it, wrapped up in the marzipan.
It is completely splendid. A pal of mine advised me to try slices of it toasted last year, which makes it even more ridiculously deliciously fantastic. God. I'll have to avoid buying any this year because I've lost a lot of weight this year and I can easily eat whole one all to myself and they are MASSIVE.
T'other occasional German Stollen excess is to toast a slice and then spread it thickly with butter.

Same here. It's vacuum-packed, and usually dated "BBE" about 30 months after you purchase it. We currently have 4 1kg boxes in stock.

Greek Yoghurt in Aldi for 75p &they do blueberries half the price of Tesco etc.

The Singer overlockers are £129 (yep, I did a double-take when I saw that - it's a seriously good price!).

That prosecco with the orangey label is shite too, vinegary and half-flat. Urbanz wouldn't like it, I'm sure!

They also do a 10-pack of "mini-bockwurst" (about 160mm long!) in a chiller tray that's a little bit thinner than the bigguns in the jars, but equally tasty.
'Aldi and Lidl like shopping on holiday' Sean Lock.
Lidl's Vitafit orange juice is far better than others costing three times as much.
Bin bags are tough and cheap.
All the fruit and veg at both Aldi and Lidl is superior to other supermarket outlets.
Love Lidl's blueberry muffins.
The W5 cleaning rang is as good as name brands.

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
"I got puffin hearts, wanna try one? They're a bit like olives"
I love Lidl. Although I was very angry when last year all their Lebkuchen were in packets that just said "Ginger Bread"
I do not pay you fuckers to recognise it's popular in the UK so start making it in English packaging, I pay you to sell me palletloads of genuine foreign food Also, they aren't really just Gingerbread now are they????
And what the hell kind of awful "cheese" are they using in their cheese twists? Horrible.
Apart from that though, love Lidl. Never especially busy down in this neck of the woods either. Fruit and veg is usually really good, especially the british vine tomatoes they were doing, just amazing. Plus all the posh Italian ham (whatever the hell kind it was) - same brand as Sainsbury's, a third cheaper.

Lidl or Aldi?
This is it Geri
Lidl have a new sparkling wine which is very nice. It's a Cremant d'Alsace - nicer than their prosecco which is mediocre. The sparkling Chardonnay in Aldi is also good. Cremant de Jura iirc.
That was Lidl. We have two Lidl closer than Aldi so we've only been to Aldi once.

Ditto. I wish we had an Aldi though.

Why didn't you take them back then? They're very good about refunds ime. The pc I'm currently using was from Aldi, £400 iirc, all my/son's MP3/4s have been Aldi ones too. Son's monitor died just within it's 3 yr warranty and they fixed it no bother, even emailed me a postage label. No complaints here about either store tbh. Do wish so many people hadn't cottoned on to them though. I used to ok shopping in Aldi but every time it's getting busier
