Federer91 2,150 Posted April 28, 2020 #5703 Share Posted April 28, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,565 Posted April 28, 2020 Author #5705 Share Posted April 28, 2020 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 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 brunamoura and hckošice 1 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Europe has Kaufland, Aldi & Lidl (among others) 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 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
