That scrumptious Cotes du Rhone is back, at £2:99 !

[NoMercy]

Lidl do an amazing Amarone at £9.99. Waitrose do an amazing Amarone at £20.

I've bought and enjoyed both.

Waitrose do some spectacular wine offers at times and last year I had a good few bottles of delicious rosé (not very often I use those two words in the same sentence) which, when using a combination of different offers simultaneously, worked out at £4.75 a bottle.

Shopping at Waitrose doesn't make you a snob and shopping at Lidl doesn't make you down-market.

I shop at both and like to think I'm a savvy shopper.

Well said, NoM.

Yes I agree as well. To dismiss one supermarket, because its too downmarket is just daft. My sister-in-law still won't go to Lidl, although she has been spotted coming out of one !

[ummmm]

I haven't had very good experiences in shopping in Lidl or Aldi. I bought a chicken in one of them and the amount of water that came out during cooking was shocking. I also bought a joint of beef that was disgusting (and no, it wasn't my cooking)
I do like their cured meat selection though.

We don't have a Waitrose close to us here in Swansea, but I like to call in, when I see one, as I like their own brand Three Fruit Marmalade....very tangy, like marmalade should be.

My lidl is selling outfits for the Oktoberfest celebrations if anyone would like me to bring them one back ...Nom?
Balders? mikey?

And they also have some really nice own brand biscuits. We won a hamper with them at the school fate
