Having had a good old chin wag about shopping at Lidl, at the bar in Sommieres market this morning, we coincidentally met Peter H there afterwards. We all agree that the centre aisles in Lidl are full of cheap things that you never knew you needed. A bit like a real life version of the little shopping catalogues that come with your newspaper. Anyway, Peter, always up for a laugh at other people's expense, took on the role of our personal shopper. A bit upmarket for Lidl but interesting nevertheless. He had an excellent nose for 'essential', but cheap, items. For instance we bought a 10 metres length of outdoor fairy lights for 4 euros and an expandable spirit level for 10 euros. As usual, we went in for a couple of things and came out with half a trolley. Peter, on the other hand, went in for one item and came out with two. That's pretty boring shopping if you ask me and not worth going really, unless you get great satisfaction out of filling other people's shopping trolleys! Good fun.
