    I have a pair of their digital verniers, I've checked them several times against my far more expensive ones and they are accurate.

    their yoghurts are nice too

    They also sell some tat. just like all the other supermarkets.
    Their stainless steel pots n pans and their cutlery rusts, we bought some for the touring caravan

    I've found Lidl fresh veg to be better quality than any of the supermarkets. And I've come across some great one off bargains like drum stools, weather station, multimeter and other gadgets.

    Edit: Couple of weeks ago got some excellent venison from there as well.

    Loads of other stuff.

    And convenient as its on my way to work, a quick 10 minute pitstop and groceries done.
    See, they'r all coming out of the woodwork now. Everybody with an ounce of common will buy the cheaper option if the quality is as good or better.
