Lidl
What people are saying
A good enough likeable grocery store, with some things at exceptionally low prices, like cottage cheese $1.59, eggplant $1.39, mozzarella log $2.39, crab sushi $3.99 (!), and chicken legs were very low,... and I'm super happy about my rare find of a glass universal pan lid with red silicon and handle for only 8 bucks that will go great in my red kitchen! Otherwise, I still prefer Aldi prices and selection for my regular items, gourmet cheeses, lox, capers, gluten-free crunchy stuff and wraps, hummus, and produce, but I will give Lidl another try.
This is my favorite grocery store. Why then 2 stars? Let me explain. Lidl does a very good job stocking a large assortment of grocery items that our family uses. They're often out of stock with a lot of items, but since we're in COVID-19 this can be attributed to the "panic-run" that shopper often create, and I can't really blame them. For their grocery selection, and pricing, I give them 4 stars. However I have been very disappointed with the lack of "sanitation" lately. I've watched Lidl go from having an attendant wipe down each cart as it comes back from the parking lot, to installing "sanitation stations" for the shoppers to wipe down their own carts. (I suspect Lidl is trying to cut down on labor.) I visit my local Lidl 3 to 4 times a week, purchasing each time what we feel like having for dinner "that" night... not planning out multiple nights in advance. Recently Lidl's "sanitation stations" have left much to be desired. On yesterday's visit the "sanitation stations" were empty with hand sanitizer, there were no paper towels for me to wipe off the cart, there was no attendant anywhere to be found wiping off carts, and the disinfectant spray bottles were almost empty. (Since there were no paper towels I guess it doesn't really matter if the spray bottles were empty.) The hand sanitizer dispenser at the front door was also empty. I had to go back to my car and get hand sanitizer and sanitation wipes to wipe down my cart before going in to shop. For this I give them zero stars. If I can't feel safe shopping, then I don't need to shop there any longer. Lately I've watched the attention to detail drop off dramatically at this store.
I was told about this market from a coworker and she just praised about its prices and quality of food. I had to try it out and I can't stop buying items. They have their own brands and some regular food brands. I've been shopping to compare the quality and taste of different foods that I normally purchase and I have not been disappointed. The meats and produce are fresh. Most of the meats are labeled "fresh never frozen". Prices are really good too. I highly recommend Lidl if you love good food and bargains.
I though they had LIDLs only in Europe! This was a surprise!! Good variety of Italian foods!
Lidl is sometimes hard to count on; I don't think I have ever gone in and found everything in their published sales flyer available in the store. Neither do they offer rainchecks. However, their fresh-baked goods are usually outstanding and they often have competively priced produce. You just have to go and see, then have a back-up plan if there are certain items that you must have. Staff is friendly and helpful; they just don't seem to have much control over what comes in on their deliveries. That or their inventory control system still needs some work.
