Turn once you see the monument erect at Luqa and you find yourself in a discount dream. Boxes and boxes of food and drinks, all at exorbitantly discounted prices. My eyes started dropping at the site of all the goodies at such cheap prices and whats best everything seems to be in maga packs, fit to feed a family of 10. I couldn't resist stopping to see what price a packet of potato wedges costs compared to a packet of oven chips. Then there was the fake coke. Would not touch that. My coca cola love is pure and true, no matter what I will resist turning to cheaper competition. My mind raced calculating the budget of a restaurant, the prices I pay to eat out and the profit they make. It dawned on me that maybe feeding a family of 6 would be cheaper than feeding just two people. For the simple reason that buying in bulk is so much cheaper and if your'e alot of people you'll eat through a kilo of potatoes quicker than lets say 2 people. 2 people cannot buy big packs, as they will either eat the same shit for ages or else it will expire or you will need vast freezer storage space.
The alcohol is cheap too, plenty of booze for about an aisle. I wanted to buy some red bull since it was selling for a miserly 1 euro and some cents, but there was only the diet kind. I bought myself some real coke, the canned type for 69c and insisted on filling mum's trolley with what i thought was a REAL deal and we needed desperately.
A surprise awaited us at the counter.There where no free plastic bags, so we decided to put everything back in the trolley.... I still have to find place where to put the king size potato chips and other goodies I couldnt keep my hands off. Or well its a bargain you can't resist... but I wonder how three people are going to eat all the stuff we bought ....
Still, I can't wait to go back to Lidl.. they might have some real good bargain

I've never been but my family does go there. I get the feeling though, even from this particular post, that you do save money, but sometimes you buy stuff just for the sake of being cheap, that at the end of the day make up for your 'savings' :D
tell me !! It's like someone in your head telling you ' buy buy buy' hehe
