Ah, so a combination what Americans would call grocery store and warehouse store. I was so confused as to why y’all were using that word over and over :d

 

because Lidl is Lidl :d you have supermarkets and you have Lidl, no one will tell you, I'm going to the supermarket if he wants to go to the lidl, he will say, I'm going to the lidl.

 

yes, I know crazy europeans :lol:

There are few world renowed brands that Lidl offers here. It's either their brands or variety of products from bulgarian vendors, which is quite good actually.

 

Also, Lidl is 95% a grocery store, not much warehouse products. Kaufland has more of that stuff, but generally we have a whole different chains for warehouse stuff.

I never say "I'm going to the supermarket", I say "I'm going to the Lidl" or "I'm going to Albert Heijn" or "I'm going to the Aldi" or "I'm going to the Plus" but never "I'm going to the supermarket" :p

I think Lidl has some bigger brands here, but I'm not sure because I basically only go there for two or three specific things I always get there :p 

 

They do sometimes have some random stuff on offer, like this set that I'm sure @hckosice would like and which provided for some rather intense battles in the garden :d

That's what happens when different supermarkets have different stuff :p If I'm going to Lidl, maybe someone wants me to bring something from there for example :p

@hckosice One the students in my debate class has a Slovakian grandfather. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of someone in California having Slovakian decent :d

I’ve literally never been inside of either. 7-Eleven are just glorified gas stations, and Dollar General is for the poor white people in the South. Our big supermarkets are Albertsons, Vons, SaveMarket, Trader Joe’s (a Californian favorite, it’s the hipster grocery store), Whooe Foods, Stater Bro’s, and Smart and Final. Our big warehouse chains are Sam’s Club, Costco, Walmart, and Target. We have niche stores like CVS Pharmacy, Micheals, etc.

 

If you can think of a need, there’s a national chain store for it. We even a warehouse chain dedicated to alcohol called BevMo :d

    • After four weekends of winter sports, we are slowly entering the middle of the winter season . And, as usual, it's time for statistics that I don't know which theared to put in      After 29 events, 20 different NOCs was already on the podium. After several seasons, Uzbekistan is also back on the podium thanks to figure skating (and two former Russians).   This weekend will be all about ice sports, with a total of 13 events: 4 in figure skating (first stage in Europe) and 9 in short track (second stage in Montreal, since SLC was cancelled)
    • World Boxing approved seven new applications from the National Federations in Andorra, Belgium, Iraq, Lithuania, Madagascar, Kyrgyzstan and Thailand. 
    • Out of curiosity, I listened to a few podcasts about Turkmenistan today. This country has very large deposits of natural gas. In the 1990s, a simple a ordinary people lived quite well there. In the early 21st century, Turkmenistan signed several unfavorable gas deals with China and has practically gone bankrupt since then. 1/3 of the population (about 2 million out of 6 million- mostly young people) emigrated, mainly to Turkey, India, etc. The future of this country is blacka and uncertain. I don't know what other options they have? Russia, Turkey, the EU? Of course, in terms of selling gas. Perhaps sanctions of Russia's and isolation due to the war in Ukraine would be a chance for Turkmenistan to establish economic relations with the EU, but the new president would probably have to loosen and a little liberate up his country's domestic politics.
    • A friend of mine who visited 97 countries of the world be in Turkmenistan (with Kunshamara, are the onlyones i know) and he tell me something that never see in another country: his presence was enough to make nervous to all the people, in restaurants, markets, etc, the presence of an "outsider" generate that.
