Theofanis at Tsada has three prices, we always get the cheapest €1.50 a kilo yesterday, they also have some veg at half price on Sundays and Wednesdays, and the butcher is decent aswell

I have to say that with the odd exception Lidl is the dearest place to shop now. We pop in once every 4-6 weeks for specific items but otherwise use Paps.

I agree in my opinion their fruit and veg, and meat are second rate only thing we buy are tools, ice cream

Lidl bananas aren’t local ones and imported...I find local ones better

Lidl is so expensive these days and much quieter, there are fewer & fewer items I purchase there.
