Why is Lidl so Cheap?

[petermillard]

Never been to Aldi. First experience of Lidl was in Greece. Compared to Greek 'supermarkets' Lidl is amazing; back in Blighty they're just (badly laid-out) warehouses with stuff in that you can buy. TBF I've only been to one here (nearest is 40 mins away, life's too short) but no thanks; M&S for preference, but OK with Sainsburys, Tesco or Asda for branded goods. Not a Waitress fan (history there...)

Worth bearing in mind that not everyone shops on price; convenience & quality play a big part...

Cheers, Pete

Fully agree with Waitrose. We have three nearby. Excellent quality. Excellent service. Fresh produce beats Tesco et al hands down. The staff want to work there. Says quite a lot.

I guess only someone who lives in Tunbridge Wells can say "we have 3 Waitrose nearby" :roll:

I was about to say the whole of Cornwall has only one - and that's a new one.

Well you have 2 technically, but really it was built for us in Devon
