Lidl Superweekend

[mikey4444]

This time its Champagne at less than £8 a bottle !

If there were queues last weekend for the Prosecco, can you imagine what it will like this Saturday !

I find Lidl's welding rods and horse blankets excellent :-)

Another satisfied customer then !

Mikey - we will compare experiences over a glass of.... bubbly? :)

[mikey4444]

Well, if I get any, I intend to squirrel them away until Xmas !

//You want to see the cars outside our local Lidl. Rolls Royce last week. //

Probably the owner - living well on Mikey's money. ;o)

their wines are always winning awards.

Unfortunately you can't tell a wine is good just because it has won an award. You can assume it shouldn't be rank bad, but not much else.

Thank you, Mikey. I'll have a look in my local Lidl tomorrow.

Garman, so how do you tell, I know what I like but an "expert" may say its s***.

You try and see if you like them, Webbo, and if you do drink them no matter what anyone says. I am just pointing out that some of those awards might not carry the prestige that shoppers may assume they do.

Success ! Managed to get 3 bottles. Only a small queue when I got there at 07:45.

Bought some of those yummy Maple-Pecan twists as well. Also some huge peaches at only 35p each.

Sorted !
