There's some strong beers on show there. !!

They don’t taste strong though, very smooth until you stand up after a few and it all goes tits up

Made doubly worse if you stand up and go outside

That is because fresh air makes you pissed. You can be fine indoors but get a lung full of fresh air and BAM!

Sadly, I've got a lot of experience with this

I know what you mean, but why should this be , obviously fresh air can't actually make you pissed?

Shame i dont have a local lidl i can just nip to!

will be trying to skirt past one today.

as an avid belgian beer drinker I will stock up while i can, normally paying £4.00+ for a bottle for things like golden draak so these have to be cheaper!

edit: 10.99 for the 6 bottle set according to my stores online leaflet

In belgium they're more like a euro a bottle, if i lived close enough I'd be doing regular day trips to france/belgium and stocking up, but its 5 hours to folkstone with stops before i then take travel costs into consideration.

I've seen that same box of six for about 14 euros in a bottle shop in Ghent. In my experience, the bottled beer in Belgium is nowhere near as cheap an euro a bottle.

It can be, if you go to supermarkets not tourist shops.

go to the tourist bottle shops and as you say you'll pay far more.

These ones again?

Got myself a box last weekend, very good for the price.. Might have to get some more this week before they all go

[andburg]

Picked up 3 boxes on the way home, store is awfully located and like a jumble sale.

[twing]

Italian meatballs and a jar of tomato & mushroom sauce last , was very good and all for about 3 quid

It's 'Italian Week' at Lidl.

Fill your boots with the tetra packs of Besciamella Sauce if they have it.

This is far smoother than anything I could make myself and is a great time saver.

I guess that's fair comment if you want to buy the well known 'mass market' beers

Saw that Aldi had some 'Big Daddy' steaks in when I was shopping on Wednesday. I'm going to grab one of those tonight along with some onion rings, mushrooms and chunky chips and scoff until I burst

No idea what it is as don't cook Italian stuff, but picked up a carton anyway will chuck some chicken in it and stir fry Chinese style!

Also got a pack of the sundries tomatoes and one of those choc filled biscuits.
