Trip sorry but no....... 
I thought I would post has I am sure there are a few on here who buy this sort of stuff and no doubt its cheaper than the norm... a few own horses and we have a trainer on here too and a lot of people in the equine industry as well... signed LIDL-WILLIE???
P.S I tell you what I see on a regular basis now in the shop I use which has been open about 4 yrs now.... I see traders of all denominations Black White Asian buying veg and food in bulk... owners of Chinese, Indian, restaurants. And Pakistani fish and chip shops buying boxes of chips and 20lb sacks of basmati rice carting them away in vans... so it must be cheap or these people would not use them?
I have also noticed that when it first opened people who used it were what one would term as ordinary people, now I see in the car park people who live in the better parts of the city driving Mercs, R/R, and a large selection of upper class motors.....
Obviously effecting Sainsburys up the road..... and there's no truth in the rumour the car park is used as a overspill car park for them either ? it must be hammering their trade being that they are so expensive for most food stuffs I always used Sainsburys but not now.........

Upper-class motors? Ah, those'll be the ones nicked by the local scroats. The 'J' reg. Carltons are the cars owned by genuine Lidlites.
LIDL's good if you need to buy in bulk, are throwing a kids' party, or have a humungous family to feed, so the deals on the cheap fruit, veg, rice, etc. make sense. The Brighton LIDL stocks a very nice German potato salad and a fairly decent line in salamis. What put me off it was the rather nasty niff around the raw meats section, though: I suspect some packages were rotting quietly away, and no-one had noticed.

Are you sure that it wasn't the genuine Lidlites?
