Is Lidl bad quality?

Lidl is German right?

Yep! it is a German discounter that exists everywhere. In Germany Lidl is even divided in two parts, Lidl and LidlSüd. People always make fun of it by saying: "if you enter a LidlSüd discounter, you arrive the South of Germany!"

Yeah like Aldi then. Is it your favourite supermarket? (Lidl).

It is the supermarket I frequently seek. The ingredients for foods have a good price and I can cook a good meal with them.

Ah fair enough, there must be lots of Lidls in Germany.

What is the difference between a Lidl and a LidlSüd?

The region, see comment #26. LidlSüd is in the Southern and Lidl in the Northern regions of the country. as in Aldi and Aldi Süd, see here:

That is the reason why they are divided in North and South Germany. You can find this supermarket in each German city.

3000 Lidl stores in Germany apparently dang .

So the store and products are the same, just the location is different?

That is lesser than I expected and thought about more than 10,000 in the whole country.



In terms of Lidl you might be right. Aldi is a biiit different: the Aldi branches are divived between the two Albrecht brothers. Theo Albrecht has the northern half and Karl Albrecht the Southern half.

I just googled it online though so the stat might be wrong.

Not so wrong than you thought: there are 3,200 lidl branchens around Germany according to the German stats I have found.

I like lidl, i split my shopping between their & tesco. They certainly don’t have the same variety of your big supermarkets although if you buy fresh meat & veg it’s much cheaper per gram then other supermarkets with comparable quality.

Tesco is good too

It’s alright, it has excellent selection at the super stores. Probably alongside asda in terms of variety. And has more premium products.

It’s not as good value as it once was but it’s probably the most reliable.

I sincerely apologise if I sound stuck up, I really don’t mean to be! But is Lidl food good quality? Im just sceptical because of how cheap it is. I just worry it doesn’t pass certain standards.

My parents have never shopped there. Admittedly we have the privilege of shopping weekly at Waitrose but I’ve moved out with my boyfriend and he keeps telling me we should go to lidl to save on my food bill!

I’m just skeptical…
