| - I was super excited about this Lidl opening up, as I had one near my home when I lived in Greenville. This Lidl location has a great open floor plan, plenty of carts and parking, a great selection of fresh baked items and produce. They offer a lot of organic or non-GMO items for a great price, plus they offer a great selection of cheeses (similar to Trader Joe's), meats, wine, and beer that are very affordable. You can get cage free brown eggs for under $3, a gallon of milk for a little over $1, a pound of carrots for $.48, bananas for $.29 a pound...what's not to love about that? The store is clean and you can readily tell which checkouts are open. It's similar to Aldi but has a more open set-up and better quality items.
Their bakery deserves a mad shout-out for some tasty and cheap baked items. Their blueberry and black cherry jelly donuts are $.59 each and are very tasty. They have a big soft pretzel for $.59 which is also tasty and not overly salty. Their bread quality is good and pretty affordable compared to bakery items at Publix or HT. I have found a few items I'm absolutely dedicated to, and I really love that I can get fresh vegetables for such a bargain. Just remember to bring your own grocery bags (or you can pay a small amount for plastic bags, like Aldi) and be prepared to bag everything yourself. Still, I will happily do that to save some money on fresh produce.
Now they just need to open a Lidl a little closer to my neighborhood...
