text: Ah, Lidl.  Where would I be without your shelves of cut-price groceries, your cheap rip-offs of well-known brands, your large and cheerless aisles and extensive range of discount alcohol.\n\nProbably leading a far healthier and more fulfilled life, to be honest.  But anyway, Lidl does keep bringing me back time after time, unable to resist its astounding cheapness.  \n\nThis branch, in Leith's Newkirgate, is a big one, so has the added bonus if offering a sundry assortment of budget household goods - I found a very good air mattress here once.\n\nAnyway, if money's tight you can't beat Lidl as a place to buy groceries, and I do maintain that there are a few things here - their German ryebread for example, or fairtrade bananas, that genuinely offer quality as well as value.
