Does anyone have any experience of the produce sold hot? It's not something I've come across in Lidl before. The croissant are good at 29p each, even better when they're on offer at 19p each. Sounds promising. We like fresh Croissants. Wasn't open tonight (the bakery) but will pop in and see next week. Anything else good? Though to be honest I'm sure I'll try most available.

They've also started putting much of the wine on display in quaint wooden crates...
Just waiting for more sneaky price hikes now. Prices have been creeping up. My favourite £5.99 Lidl chablis is now £7.49, for example. However bread's still cheap despite the in-store bakery thingy. £1.49 for an 800g rye loaf. It's £1.85 in Waitrose for 500g. I've noticed a few price rises of late, I posted about the Lidl bottled water from 19p to 29p a few pages back. However I saw this tonight and thougt of you  I managed to pick some up with an extra 30% off with just over a week left on the label date too. Thanks! I buy that. It keeps in the fridge for ages, despite what the sell-by date says. It's £1.20 in Waitrose

Wow Taurus cider! 8 cans £4.99, tastes lovely - this stuff gets the dry/sweet levels spot on for me. Giving the old Westons 8.2% gear a miss for a while - its not school night friendly! Also those Magnum ice cream alikes 3 for £1 - bargain. As far as supermarkets go this place is easier on the nearves, not as busy as Tesco etc and its great trying their good quality big brand alternatives. Still getting fruit/veg/meat from Leeds market, how Tesco can charge what they do for Tomatos, Oranges, Chillies and Cherrys is crazy.

ALDI FAIL: BBQ with parents last night, being a Sunday the butchers was closed so mother gets Aldi top of range burgers, 4 in a packet, chilled. "Ashfield" iirc f  k me sideways were they fatty. Whacked em on the BBQ, within a couple of minutes that much fat/grease has oozed out that the base of the gas BBQ is puddled in it, promptly catches fire  Had 2'-3' flames coming out of the BBQ scorching everything. Never seen so much slime/grease/molten liquid fat come out of 4 burgers. Must've been a good bowl full. Won't be touching them again! Rest of the stuff from there was superb!

Just waiting for more sneaky price hikes now. Our local Lidl has an instore bakery, lots of nice croissants, pain au chocolate/raisin very very good quality (almost as good as from france) and still cheaper than the s te from tesco.

Lidl chocolate chunk american style cookies are wonderful. Just be careful opening the packet as it's quite easy to eat the whole lot.
Their individually packaged pain au chocolates are good for on the hoof breakfasts and are quite lovely heated up.
Oh and their salmon en croute is good too.
Tried the japanese rice crackers this weekend and was pleasantly surprised.

Another tip for the Lidlers: delicious bresaola at £1.99/80g. It's nearly double that in Waitrose.

The Aldi 'big eat' burgers (the wide but thin patty ones) are worth avoiding also. Dreadful.

Lidl's stem ginger cookies are rather yummy, look for them in a 'De Luxe' box. Be warned, they have a low dunk-threshold, they drop in your tea if dunked for more than a few seconds.
