Lidl & Aldi are massive on the continent our french friends are a little sniffy about the wine but they like the veg, snobbery is foolish, remember money has no class.
I love both because they sell some good quality stuff at dirt cheap prices.
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.

I bought a case for my Galaxy WiFi from Poundland too.
I saw a pair of pretty good looking rubberised shoe insoles in Aldi for £2.99 today; they were about £13 in the shoes shop. People complaining about Aldi/Lidl/Poundland should really go in to one before critiquing. Way cheaper in a lot of instances, and often better quality.

I buy loads of stuff from the pound shop. The rubberised working gloves I use I buy several pairs of every time I go there. the same gloves are £3.60 a pair at the builders merchants, why pay an extra £2.60
