Default Lidl stores


Anyone here have any experience with Lidl grocery stores?

Apparently a large European chain of discount grocery
stores, they're also now in the US, east coast mostly,
but now making a push to the west coast, especially
California.

This is really good news, from what I hear.
Grocery stores have been shutting down here, and chains
disappearing, while prices have finally started to drop.

So more choice and good quality sounds nice, but I'm ALSO
a cautious person, so was just wondering if anyone has
actually shopped at one anywhere.

I've shopped at Lidl in Scotland. Their range is limited, but the prices
are low, and the quality is generally excellent.
