Done Lidl ... not a fan

I have ticked shopping at Lidl or Aldi off my bucket list with a trip to the fore mentioned Lidl as they have conveniently opened a new store not far from the homestead.
 
Therefore, this morning we sacrificed our normal shopping trip into Canton for a jolly walk to the Capital Retail Park in a downpour of hailstones. News reports have been suggesting Lidl was now the shop of choice of the rich and wealthy looking for bargains in their new Waitrose. I was looking forward to rubbing shoulders with the Cardiff elite. Nevertheless, judging by the carpark and the lack of Range Rovers and the like they have yet to find this store.
 
My experience was nothing to write home about I didn’t see many of these great bargains I had been reading about. It was nothing-special yes there were a few bits and pieces but I don’t think I could do a full shop there. I hunted down some bargains not many and my star buy was a plummet of grapes that normally cost me £2 but only cost £1.49 in Lidl. The wife seemed to like the place and is planning a revisit not sure what she saw maybe I should worry.
 
It was a nice store, roomy for the wife in her wheelchair and not too busy but that could have been down to the lousy weather. Will I shop there again, doubtful? I think when I’m shopping next at the Capital Retail Park I prefer Adsa’s.
