The ones who do come for stuff they can't find here.

I sure would never come there to get tinned food! :lol:


check out some n/c forums resteraunts advertise they buy goods in the roc , most expats cross whenever possible ,,,and travel from larnaca airport because they have no moral values , and it is cheap...


Money knows no morality buddy. It has nothing to do with values, but value! :lol:

South is expensive hence why LIDL will make good profit, North is cheap, not sure what you want me to say.

I live here.


thats why most people live there ,, cheap property , sleep well .........

Lidl offers great food at great prices , restricted lines yes but fantastic value nevertheless , their FRESH meats and fish are excellent some of the best I would say .Fresh chickens at knock down prices in comparisson to those if other stores , fresh smoked salmon that wad recently voted by grocer magazine as the finest in the Uk , beef and lamb at superb prices
I think I will apply for a few ....shares !!!!

Its Funny to hear peoples perception as a cheap and nasty shop..
I dont know what shop shah has been into to give that idea, possibly he has a superiority complex or maybe he went into a north london branch - lets face it north londons shite anyway. :D
In Germany LIDL isnt percieved as a cheap shop, just another shopping chain. you think people who make the cars you crave for do cheap and shitty?
In Germany there is a magazine called TUV that is the same as WHICH magazine in the UK. Reguarly they test goods from various outlets and products sold by LIDL often do very well, its not just a food store!
I have a set of loppers and shears brought from LIDL eight years ago still working perfectly, cost me five quid each when i purchased them.
Their special offers are well worth investigating.
Wether the Cyprus outlets operate to the same procedures remains to be seen.

I agree entirely that a German food plus outlet would be cheap and nasty. I have a Lidl store practically opposite my own ....large store and shop at Lidl weekly , I have been buying their nappies for £5.69 per 50 for my two grandchildren as in Cyprus the cost was / is 18 euros !!!

Are you kidding me man?! Salmon from LIDL!?! "Fresh" meat?!?!

And you are in the catering business? :lol:

First of all LIDL is at the bottom of the supermarket food chain, ASDA has more quality and class yet that is just as scummy but at least edible.

Cheap and scummy food might be pretty popular in Europe, but this is the Mediterranean god dam it, no one is going to expect me to shop from LIDL!
