You know, less decoration...minimal help, the goods are there one day, gone the next etc. They have some things that are generally always there, but not as much as a regular store will. They are cheaper and kind of fun as long as you go knowing the product you bought last week and loved...probably won't be there this week. And Spam. What can I say. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Rates right up there with "Potted Meat". barf, lol. Over here in Germany though Spam is a bit interesting. Each butcher shop seems to have it's own special recipe and they take great pride in it. My husband loves the stuff. Not me. But I do like hotdogs, so I guess there is no accounting for taste, lol.

My most satisfying time shopping there was when I didn't actually have to go. I bought a Johnny Winter Captured Live CD at their online store for the low, low price of $8.88. We have an Aldis food store in Missouri too. Spam...cut thick with thick layers of mayo on white bread. jitte

Posts: 22 24-May-07 4:22 AM	ok Lidl sounds like this place that we used to have here called Spags. You didnt' really admit you shopped there but everyone did. As kids we'd all tease each other - "where'd you get those sneakers? SPAGS??" and the funny thing is we all did, and we all knew it. You couldn't get the same thing week after week and nothing was ever where it was the week before, so if you found peanut butter on one aisle today next to lawn chairs, next week it might be in the back of the store next to the toilet paper. Made for an adventure. The thing with spags was that they had no tags on their items - they wrote the price on everything in black permanent market. And they had no bags either, so as you were shopping you grabbed empty cartons lying around and used those. They didn't have shopping carts either until the mid 90's, so it was an adventure. They used to have free tomato plant day- you'd buy an item and you could get a free tomato plant. Anyway, sounds like a similar place.

It's the shoes, computers and garden furniture stuff that is dumped in the middle that is "once it's gone, it's gone". I popped in this morning again a box of 300 lego bricks for a fiver, and one of those sticks with a tennis ball on it that you whack around the garden. LIDL do have bags, but you have to pay for them, so I keep my old ones in the car, and pack them in bags in the carpark. There is not enough space at the end of the till to pack your bags there, unless you're incredibly fast. So you need to put stuff straight in the basket again as they get scanned.

Posts: 9389 24-May-07 7:46 AM	oh we have pound shops. Probably the same stuff as your dollar stores, but we pay a pound instead of a dollar. Getting ripped off again!
