Lidl is a funny sort of place to go grocery shopping; alongside the regular shelves of products they have aisles full of goods that change from week to week. Typically they provide a decent combination of low prices and reasonable quality. This weekend we have picked up a couple of corner units to provide attractive storage for our bathroom. The only problem is that the deals don’t last very long; we got one on Friday and I had to pop back on Saturday otherwise we might have missed the deal and been unable to find a matching unit for another corner in the room. I won’t complain though – the nearest I could find on the Homebase website wasn’t really what we wanted and twice the price.

We just have to be careful not to shop in Lidl too often too avoid getting carried away with deals we don’t really need.
