Groceries in Durham University

I'm next door at Stevo and also a Lidl fan! I think there's a Poundland near my boyfriend's accommodation I might look into, but maybe we could carpool if we find someone else who likes Lidl and drives? Or get an Uber and split the fare, depending on what the cost would be.

oh wow hi! I think I recognise you from the English chat? (sorry if I'm wrong oops)

But yeah I hadn't thought about that! I hadn't even considered that I might make some friends wow but maybe yeah? it'd be easier to do it with an Uber or something especially if we split, I don't know how much more expensive it'd be but it'd be so much more convenient? And I've heard of the Poundland near the Bailey, only thing is sometimes it works out more expensive (there are so many things in there that would be about 60p in Lidl aha)

Have people in your chat been talking about it? I know a lot of Hill people get Tesco delivery but it seems so expensive and I am but a simple broke student

Thank you

Oh wow yeah, I am in there haha! Sorry I can't tell who you are but I'm sure you're lovely if you're one of the hotties lol.

Fingers crossed that we can get a Lidl team together, maybe we should start a Lidl Shoppers Society 😂

They have been, and like you say the main thing mentioned was a Tesco delivery. I do love Lidl though and have the Plus app which is helpful, and I'd like to take the opportunity to shop around. If I went to Tesco it would probably be at night to find the reduced offers lmao.

No problem!

Thank you! I get very self-conscious about posting on here so I always go anon wherever I can lol but you're lovely!

And we should! They do socks and things now like merch?

I mean I guess if everybody pools together for Tesco delivery it won't be so bad but it still seems like a less cost-effective way? I have the Plus app too it's amazing! And yeah me too, I do love a good reduced item- my heart will always belong to Lidl but I Tesco Reduced section is always fun :-)

You may be better off taking the no 6 bus (Arriva Sapphire) from outside Collingwood to Spennymoor (ie south of Durham). There's an Asda, Lidl and Aldi near the Charles St (Spennymoor) bus stop. It's only a 15 min bus ride and you wouldn't need to change buses. Students can get a £1 all-day ticket so you wouldn't pay more than that for a return trip. Worth checking if there's a stop further up the hill from Butler to get off at on the way back so you could avoid having to carry groceries up the hill.
