I was in Lidls after work today.

I got:

Two cans of tined Sardines in olive oil - two bottles of wine - big hard white cabbage - some hard italian cheese - six eggs.

And a £3.99 bunch of flowers for my missus

Wifey did some running about for my aging Mother this morning - I just could not get away from workshop - wifey's day off and she stepped in and did it.

had a look at the tools section but im being a skinflint at the moment so only buying what i need

so no new tools for me just x2 7.5kgs potatoes as asda and tesco dont sell 7.5kgs bags as ive been in and looked

a letice for the tortoise i bought one last time when i bought the try square and the stick on measuring tapes

just getting a feel of prices on items at the moment

i also bought lidls cornish pasty there nice but the fillings a bit skimpy you could actually make your own for less and have more filling even at 2.00 for 3 cornish pastys
tesco is 4 cornish pastys for 2.35 and so is the cheese and onion pastys for 4 i like them both

If French Lidl sold pastys I'd have bought them all, I'm seriously missing savoury snacks.

I saw that plasma cutter too the other day... I nearly did, but as per my other thread I'm looking to buy a compressor soon anyway so no point getting one with integrated compressor when I can spend less and get one off fleabay/amazon that uses external air.
Would be interesting to see if it's any good or not though.

What I did buy the other day was the battery powered soldering iron!
It doesn't have variable temperature or anything but does seem to work fairly well, haven't used it in anger yet but I've a job on next weekend fitting out a boat so I plan to bring it instead of my gas iron.

I do a few off grid / battery systems for campers and the like, looks really useful for the occasional field soldering job.

I do like the gas ones but they're a bit faffy and the catalysts seem to wear out or get damaged quite easily in the tips, and I have the constant issue of where to put them while they cool down, plus I've had my current one for 15 years and it's due a new tip, this was cheaper than a new set of tips
I also like that it uses a normal usb C port, so no chance of losing the special cable or having to bring one with me, I can just plug it into the car to charge.

I’m not allowed to go shopping, unless I am accompanied by an adult.
My wife sent me out for bread and milk once. I came back with eggs and a lawnmower, I was never allowed to go out again.

Cheaper than what happened to my dad when they moved into their place. Went down to the local tractor dealership as they were suppliers for Mistral pressure washers which they wanted*, came out with a pressure washer and a tractor.

* when they bought the farm they wanted to move in before Christmas but offered under the asking price. They said to the farmer he could keep the livestock and equipment there until the spring when selling them would be more profitable to make up the difference, he agreed and said they were welcome to use the equipment whilst it was there. He had a really really good pressure washer and it went for silly money at the farm sale (more than new) so they went down to the dealership to buy one as a replacement.

Review - Lidl Plasma Cutter

Hi guys, i bought a parkside plasma cutter last night from local Lidl here in România and used it today...very poor quality, it’s toy like, button on torch kept jamming and the cutter wouldn’t arc...I will be taking it back tomorrow and get my money back...I will buy a hypherterm most likely...

as goes for your comment buy one off fleabay amazon well fleabay is 2 months guarantee 60 days amazon is a bit longer check there terms and conditions first
ebay is buy from a shop if you want consumer rights to items

whilst lidl has 3 years guarantee that beats consumer rights

as goes for the air it uses external as well just like the cut50s the internal isnt good enough

The present crop of Parkside plasma cutters come with a 5-year warranty. 1st year is return to store, the rest via customer service (I think I heard that right).

It'll be made by one of the large companies, Lidl will approach them and say we want xx thousand of this, that and the other.

Used to happen all the time in the lighting industry. Laura Ashley was made by Dar, B&Q was Searchlight and Firstlight. Homebase was a bit of a mixed bag. Sadly I can usually identify the manufacturer for lighting by the item code structure even after being out of the industry for 15 years.

Actually it wouldn't surprise me if it was Techtronic Industries that was supplying them.

I knew someone that worked at Coopers filters and they made all Halfords own brand, he said its a separate production line and its made to a lower spec with less filter materiel, but Halfrauds sell it at premium price. This is why " made in the same factory" doesn't mean anything.

Pretty much the same when your looking for parts online and they happily show you a brand name box and state OE quality manufacture and you get a load of sh**e instead , not always the case but sadly more than often it is .
