Lidl. What did you get?

[petevtwin650]

Was at the local store before 8 this morning and it was like sale day at Harrods :(
As soon as the doors opened there was a stampede toward the biking gear.

Luckily I managed to secure a tankbag/rucksack for SeanC and purchased bike socks and Heat Regulating Biker Trousers (long johns with fancy bits) for me and the little half.:D

Also on sale although I didn't see them in the flyer was the set of maps for a tenner which I heartily recommend.

None. I wasnt overly impressed with the tank bag that i bought last time round. The magnets in the tank bag are weak as anything. No where near as good as my Oxford One which was the same price. A shame, because its a good bag.

Plus the fact, i am skint.

[cyphertheory]

2 of the walkie talkie radios, textiles and 2 pairs of gloves and an alarmed disc lock, all in the nick of time as they only had one pair of xl textiles and lots of small!

[plowsie]

Nowt :lol: Completely forgot :lol:

me and the little half.

I thought the same. Bought one last time round. Looks like a good bag with lots of features, but the magnets didn't inspire confidence, and I couldn't find an easy route for the under tank strap, so I didn't use it. Ended up using a rucksack!
I have the Small Oxford bag (Sprint? Sport?? :confused: ) which has far better magnets.
Wonder if the magnets can be replaced?

After fighting my way through the crowds of people (!) I managed to get myself some of the long johns. I had a look at the gloves but I had already gone and bought some about a week and a half ago. Also bought some W5 "Tyre care" - so I can make the bike I am selling look nice and shiny :). Oh and all of the stuff you buy that you don't need when you go lidl :P

[ferret]

bought a few pairs of socks, some of the longjohn thermals, some grub, and so had to buy the tank bag to put it all in.....

the bag seemed fine sitting there at 70 on the way home.

You still have to go home tho!!!

I voted for an extra 10 mins in bed so didn't leave the house in time to go on my way to work!

Think will go to the one that starts on Monday instead!

[timwilky]

Well I got the walkie talkie thingy.

The bloody microphone doesn't work. Good start eh.

Vox works without the headset plugged in. Waiting for the wife to come back with me car so I can take it back

And they only had ladies thermals and one set of XL mens. I aint quite that big

[ranathari]

I was on my way there when my curvy decided to stall every time I braked to change gears. Guess I'm gonna miss out on this sale until someone tells me what's going on.

[maultin]

i got the long johns & long sleeve top. they look the part when i tried them on

[ejohnh]

I bought a set of 4 tie down ratchet straps. Still cant work out why.. :confused: Everyone says the cross channel ferries look after tying yer bike down ok.. :rolleyes:

[Rhiwbina_Squirrel]

I had a look at those. I almost bought them. Obvioulsy, I had no need for them but for that price, why not? :P

[AndyW]

Pair of gloves. I wanted to look at a helmet, but none left in L except open face. Looked at the walkie talkie but fuzzy mic wouldn't fit inside my current helmet. Long Johns were only womens, socks only in size 5-8 so looks like they had a good day.

Also got a pair of big boltcutters and a pack of Haselnuss-Mignon which will prolly last until 10 minutes before going home time.

[gavinsky23]

I got the gloves, intercom thing and a battery charger. It was pouring when I went so just started using the gloves on my way to uni. I got caught in a huge downpour on the way home but my hands wre bone dry when I got back. Seem pretty decent for ?12.99.

[Lissa]

Our Lidl have loads left, went at 8.30 and it was piled high, wehnt at 16.30 and still lots left, glves, rainsuits, maps, lids, locks everything :)

[thumper21]

I got the one piece waterproof (yes the good old bin bag!), disc lock, and set of the wind proof tops for me and hubby, going out matching now!!!!

Was a bit of local biker meet at our lidls this morning, but no bikes in car park cos of the stinking weather.

[scottjames]

there was loads of stuff at the gravesend lidl. it was dead in there. i picked up some gloves to see out the end of this winter and the intercom thing, me and my mate just tried it out an for 6 quid im well impressed!!

:D

[Davie]

A tank bag but reading some earlier posts it might not be to good :smt088

[-Ralph-]

Tank bag, intercom which is going back 'cos it's rubbish, two pairs of the socks and a first aid kit.

[leemole]

tankbag seems good, a balaclaver and bandana instead of a neck tube !!!!!!!!grrrrrrrr

[stepheng]

:(:(:(

only got a disc lock.......

need to look about for more stores in the a.m.


local store had a little gang of ..errr..errr..can I say this word on here?...... sc@@ter riders hovering around the door at 8:00

[Beenz]

They didn't have a lot in the Swinedon store. The textile stuff looked OKas did the lids (cheaper than a new visor for me Shoei) but I'm not in the market for either.

I did pick up a first aid pack though, and it's got some useful stuff in it, only a couple of quid.

[Tim in Belgium]

What are the maps like?

I need more maps, I'm always getting lost :rolleyes:

Sounds like you need a sense of direction ;) Not sure maps would help...

[Speedy Claire]

I got some gloves, the sexy thermal leggings and shirt, kidney belt, 3 pairs of socks for me, 3 pairs of socks for someone else, milk, feta cheese, carrots, onions, pancetta, peppers, chicken breasts, bottled water and split peas....... very impressed with everything but especially the bike stuff

Aldi on Monday for new thermals

[Moffatt666]

A back protector. "Remember to keep your receipt!" Hmmm :/
Off to Aldi for a Jacket and boots on Monday.

[Defender]

Went to a Lidl in Leeds and wasn't impressed with what there was left.

With these offers it looks like you have to be there when the doors open!

[BILLY]

I got 2 pairs of the heat regulating trousers to wear under my MX kit:D

[Defender]

Heated trousers? I saw 2 pairs of gloves, a couple of jackets, 1 tank bag and a few intercoms.

[skippy]

Ralph I got the intercom too although not had time to try it out yet, why is it rubbish?

[phil24_7]

Anyone fancy getting me a medium heat-regulating shirt and trouser set??

Regards

I've tried it for fit and seems ok. I'll let you know when I've tried it proper.

[gavinsky23]

Has anyone tried the aldi stuff before? Is it any good? I was thinking of maybe getting the trousers on Monday as there only £29.99 but just wondering if anyone knows if they are decent or if I should just save up and buy other ones.
