I noticed last week that my local Lidl has installed (to be opened soon) ovens and shelving for a fresh bakery. Does anyone have any experience of the produce sold hot? It's not something I've come across in Lidl before.
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.They've also started putting much of the wine on display in quaint wooden crates...

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.
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.
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!

I bought some of those, bloody horrible, binned them as they were so nasty. My first ALDI disaster.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

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.

That & the tramp cider ate our only real disasters.Flames last night were a good 3ft high and the amount of fat leaving them was gargantuan
