first think? first think? I suck at shopping at Litl. SUXK. *strangles bunny, bombs Lidl international headquarters; nukes Germany from orbit, just to be sure*
Heh. I love Lidl. There's been a big fuss in the UK about Aldi and how their £1.89 skin cream is great. Well Lidl's is also £1.89 and is made by Nivea. I use the night cream, and I keep a pot of the hydrating Q10 cream in my desk at work.
I get Lidl's weekly specials emailed to me. Next week is car accessories, including a wedge-shaped cushion that'll be great for me, I'm so short I need a cushion when I drive. It's about a quarter of the price I've seen elsewhere.
They also have fish specials next week, so I'll fill my tiny freezer with mahi-mahi, tilapia, sole and other goodies that cost a fortune in Waitrose. They've stopped selling the fabulous Argentinian steak though :-(
But yeah, if I managed to get the bunny to grab the product, I failed at getting the product in the other bunny's cart. Except once, and then the two bunnies high-fived each other, so it was worth it.
heheh. The actual Lidl, I had no problem with. Until they had to go and deliberately make this game to torture and humiliate me, so now they must die. Via Bunny Death Squad.
First thing I'm going to do is send LT to verbally harass them, after that, they get a jonmc critique of their muzac, then jrossi4 will mock them, and lonefrontranger is gonna leave track marks on them headz. This is just a warm-up. Next up miko will talk reasonably to them, and iconomy will put her foot down. While they're still reeling from that, jason's_planet will smite them in kettle balls, thepinksuperhero will ridicule their fashion sense, mudpuppie will will strike down upon them with great vengeance and furious anger, elsa will waterboard them with Evian Limited Edition, and occhiblu will deal the martini death blow.
