Listed as "great outdoors" so I nearly missed it. Some of the links are down at the mo but some useful cheapies. 29th April.

Socks, toolkit, chain cleaner....

Also Lidl seem to do their 'second round' of cycling bits about the time Aldi do their main lot so could be some Aldi bargains on the way too. Nothing showing on their site for next week yet.

I've posted in the roadie forum too - gotta spread the bargain love......

    I'm liking the look of the toolkit, pity I just bought most of the contents...

    I've used that toolkit for the best part of a year now. It's not brilliant, but for stuff you are only going to use every now and again, it'll do fine. My crank puller broke, but is still usable, and the bottom bracket tool is a bit crappy as you can't attach it to it's handle, so it slips loads.

    Buy it if you're starting off with home repairs and replace the stuff that breaks as you go along.

    Not in Northern Ireland they arent. And we dont have Aldi either :(

    (Never thought I would find myself upset at lacking a local Aldi, but hey cycling does strange things to people)

    Lidl's good for cheese, German sausages, continental hams, and olives too.

    They have relatively cheap lobsters and pheasants in the freezer but I haven't got around to trying them yet.

    Yes - I found it to be a bit on the crunchy side :)

    The Duck breasts are very succulent at Lidl!

    Tha tool kit is good for the money. I have had mine for 2 years and use it most weeks. Nothing has failed, but the fit is not as precise as the best.
    The cycling socks are excellent - support in the right places.
    The chain cleaner looks like a Barbieri (?) one and would be OK for a year or so at that price.
    Don't bother with the track pump - the rubber hose on mine exploded every time I tried to pump a tyre over 80psi.
    Cheers,

    Right that's my shopping list for next time I'm in Lidl. 8)
