- Aldi rival Lidl sells own-label products that look just like big brands. Its stores focus on promotions and discounts, with items ranging from Dutch chocolates to leaf blowers. But the aisles were cluttered, products were in the wrong places, and it was hard to navigate.

Why is Lidl so popular?
- The vibe is familiar. Minimalist in aesthetic, with clean, efficient aisles and European touches, Lidl’s vibe brings to mind fellow four-letter stores like Aldi and IKEA.
- It’s worth a visit for the bakery alone. The bakery is positioned — I suspect strategically — right by the entrance: As you walk through its doors, the store welcomes you with the wafting scent of European-style pastries and breads, which are baked daily in-store.
- The weekly deals are easy to spot. Lidl’s promise of lower-cost quality products seems especially helpful at a time when grocery prices are on the rise.
- The company is focused on sustainability. Lidl takes pride in offering organic, grass-fed, certified humane, and non-GMO groceries. Responsibly produced, sustainable proteins, and other earth-friendly products abound, including fair trade coffee and chocolate, and True-Source certified honey.
- Most of The Stores Are Bright, Shiny, and New!
- Know One, Know Them all.
- The Store's App Is Helpful and Easy-To-Use.
- The App Gives Early Circular Previews.
- The Lidl Love It Guarantee.
- The Bakery Offers Inexpensive Viennoiserie.
- This European Import Has Incredibly Good European Imports.
- The Organic Foods Are Far More Affordable.
- Many of Their Proteins Are Always on Sale.
- The Dairy Prices Are Unbeatable.
Yes, there's comfort in familiarity. But I, like many other folks, are really just two-legged, unfeathered magpies, and I find it hard to resist things that are sparkly, bright, shiny, and new. On Long Island, where I first experienced the brand, real estate is sparse, so Lidl had to repurpose the retail space they were taking over to fit their mod...
Although most supermarkets follow the same general floor plan — refrigerated perimeter and shelf-stable central aisles — how they're organized can vary greatly, even within the same store brands. Not so with Lidl. With German precision, their design makes it easy to become an expert at shopping in their stores since they make it a point to set up a...
I know, I know — it seems like every grocery store wants you to download an app now. Do you really need one more? If it's Lidl's, the answer is yes. The Lidl app's interface is simple, and you get personalized rewards with flexible parameters. Most stores offer digital coupons, and Lidl is no exception. But Lidl goes the extra mile by pre-loading y...
As a major grocery nerd and overplanner, my favorite day of the week is circular day — so much so that I obnoxiously announce it to anyone nearby in my best Oprah voice. With Lidl's app, I don't have to wait until preview Tuesday to see what's coming up, however. Their app gives up to a week's notice on their projected sales to help you meal plan a...
Trying any product with "Lidl Love It Guarantee" printed on the label means it's totally risk-free. Like ALDI, Lidl will refund and (not or) replace anything that's not to your satisfaction with a similar item in the same department. They sometimes make exceptions if there's no comparable product. For example, the bakery's cinnamon rolls are … not ...
Speaking of croissants, how often do you look at a pack of golden, flaky croissants and think, "Mmm, I could definitely eat all four or six or dozen of these … but should I?" Lidl lets you buy their pastries individually and à la carte, so you can a) exercise some self-restraint; b) save a couple of bucks since you're buying less and they're priced...
Baking traditions aren't the only things Lidl brought over from The Continent. Lidl offers a Preferred Selection brand, which focuses on European specialties, every month or so. They also do a neat national or regional food focus with limited-time offerings of authentic imports. For example, January 2022's theme was Taste of Greece, and from launch...
How often do you hear thosetwo words put together: organic and affordable? Yet, it's true! Most of what Lidl sells is through their own private store label, which results in cost savings they pass on to customers. Their simply named Organics line offers herbs, spices, pasta, applesauce, pizza, sauces, crunchy snacks, milk, and more, and it's on par...
Lidl's meat department is priced to match mainstream supermarkets' sale rates — but their prices are for every day. Even better than that, the meats are sometimes discounted even morewhen they're on promo. For example, I've purchased their chicken breast, which is everyday priced at $1.99, for as low as $1.25 a pound, which feels unheard of. I've b...
This is no exaggeration. Sometimes, dairy foods are a third of the price of store-brand supermarkets cheap. At the Lidl in Marietta, Ga., I found milk sold for 45 cents for half a gallon and almond milk for 90 cents, down from their usual 89 cents and roughly $2, respectively. Eggs hover around 79 cents a dozen, and I regularly buy my egg whites an...
