I went into Lidl and browsed the middle aisle. I didn't buy anything. I think I'm finally a grown up.

I went to Lidl to buy a one-person canoe, a chainsaw and a set of artic white dentures. I got distracted and ended up buying tea and bread.

I’m used to saying Leedle, just recently heard the rhyming British pronunciation and term “the middle of Lidl” — on a cycling race show! (Lidl co-sponsors a pro cycling team for those that don’t know). I went straight to the “middle” and bought Lidl-Trek gear and will forever refer to it that way.

Our nearest Ikea is about 1hr 45mins away, and takes in a motorway and an outer ring road. That's just enough hassle for it not to be worth it, for the majority of our needs.

This weeks prices in Topeka, KS US. No more OJ or potato salad for me. I can’t afford either. What happened to tRump’s promise to bring down prices? Reeser’s potato salad is even made here in town!! #trump #groceries #republicans #reesers #orangejuice #krogers #dillons

The one thing that I get at Lidl are their butter croissants. They have a in house bakery and they make it fresh every morning. So fricking delicious. 😋 🥐

I am not sure what to expect from a BBQ bucket, but a bucket full of charcoal might fit that specification, I suppose.

Next week, as you're unloading the electric table BBQ, a 36 pc set of tupperware you don't need, a butane-powered strimmer & the baby grand piano...oh, and a rather sad looking pear tree sapling, 50% off (just needs water!), from the car, we WILL throw this post back at you. Just so you know. 🤣😉
