Lidl is the best thing that happened to Eastern Europe

i read the other day the best whiskey in the world is one you can buy in lidl.

Hahaha... I need more...

Isn't lidl for immigrants?

its so weird to me how LIDL and Aldi managed to expand to so many countries while Edeka, which is way better than both, only exists in Germany

yes and white trash

only niggers and erasmuts students shop at lidl

P-praise me, please...

German discounters often sell real brand-quality food for up to 50% less then the stuff you buy in a more upscale supermarket. Big brands like the diary titan Müller don't even bother to change the form of their packaging but just print different label(s). There are some websites that allow you to trace these off-brand products to big brands. For those companies it's very profitable to sell the same yoghurt in 3 different price brackets.

>Edeka
>way better than both

1. Edeka is more expensive
2. Many Products that cost more in Edeka are of lower quality than in Lidl.

I shop in both, and some stuff I buy in Edeka (Mainly meat, but also for example Onions and some other fruits vegetables), other stuff I buy in Lidl (frozen shit, most vegetables, most condiments etc.).

I also dud many like test buys to compare. Like there is this 3€ Bordeaux in Lidl and that 8€ one in Edeka. There is literally 0 difference between those. It's the same fucking wine.Very different the Bordeaux for 12€ in a Vinotek which is simply godlike.

So basically if you are acting smug about shopping at some supernarket with nice shelves the you are basically paying the idiot tax.

Finally some appreciation for Germany. Thank you frens

The bakery is great. It’s what puts cheap German shithole supermarkets apart from Dutch ones in the past but now they got them too

I prefer carrefour over lidl but those two are certainly my top 2, other than local establishments

Please, stop posting about wine and stick to Club Mate, retarded prole.

I can go to the supermarket with nice shelves, buy their own cheap brand for some mass produced crap which is also just a different label, and pay the same as I would at LIDL. While there I also have access to wider range of products and can choose to buy high quality where it matters, like meat or other deli products.

I'm sorry that your country doesn't have nice supermarkets that aren't overpriced.

I don't think he's claiming bordeaux to be a type of wine.

Also, to be fair, you can get some very reasonable wine for 12 euros.

Nice

>his country doesn't have just 2 supermarket chains covering over 85% of all grocery market share
do you even duopoly?

Lidl is good. I live across the street from one.
I shop there a lot. Most of my groceries and even clothes. For some reason their clothes are high quality and comfy. My carpenter pants I got for like 25 euro have lasted 4 years now and still look like new even though I wear them daily at work.

That looks scary. Are they oligopolizing or actually competing?

Here in Russia we have Dutch SPAR instead of Lidl but I've heard it's on the verge of bankruptcy because people don't have enough money to buy stuff here anymore.

Why is lidl so much more powerful than Aldi ? A few years ago they seemed kinda equal but now every aldi I go is small, ugly, and dirty. Lidl is literally centuries ahead.

If there were proper competition we would see some falling prices I'm sure.

Lidl in Austria is just a hub for Turks

It is ()

For me it's the goat's cheese and pesto focaccia. Only 69p. Thank you Germany.

I used to work in a Lidl. Right before I quit the pipes broke under the floor and the store turned into a sauna kek

bravo Germany!

The surprising thing is, the lidls I went to in England had far, FAR more variety of products than any Lidl I've seen in Germany.

Tried explaining to Hans that you can buy 36 aspirin in lidl for under a pound back home, it didn't go down well (in Germany you have to buy basic pain killers at a pharmacy and 10 pills cost between 5-10 euros).

>supporting the discount teuton
not even once

Maybe if they are GPs or some awful family med shit in a village ambulance. Even then i still dont think sitting in a chair, typing out a few things, and measuring blood pressure / looking at tests and sending them off someplace else is as bad as lidl.

You know sometimes doing mindless tedious things are harder than a thinking mans job even if it pays the same. Also most GPs here do it for hte money before jumping ship to a specialty.

Any doctor worth a damn here either goes to north america/europe/ausland or splits their time doing work in a private practice most hours and doing a 9 to 1 shift in the mornings in the public hospital. Really depends tho. It works out for psychiatrists but the others sometimes have to be tied down to a large public hospital.

My concerta is 40-50 euros depening on the dose and the shrink that prescribes costs about 60. Rivotril is less than 2 euros and a box lasts me half a year.

wish we had Lidl here, every grocery chain besides Nofrills and Fortinos sucks out here.

here you can look at it on this

mediately.co/rs/drugs/NuKjM3A33NCacHoNn5go3yzFGpc/concerta-36mg-tableta-sa-produzenim-oslobadanjem#dosing

I know drug dealers in america can resell rivotril for a dollar per pill so i could be sitting on a fortune if I didnt care or didnt know about how harmful those benzos are.

mediately.co/rs/drugs/?q=aspirin

Also use ibubrophen unless you need aspirin for a particular cv reason. And never give aspirin to children with a fever. A viral fever in children in combo with aspirin causes reys syndrome (i think)

Lidl is based.
A months worth of groceries costs me under 100 Euro. It's pretty chill.

Last time I checked all prescriptions cost around 7 quid in the uk, whether it be SSRIs or opiates like tramadol etc. The price may have risen as I haven't lived in the uk for a few years.

Most docs don't bother prescribing you things like paracetamol because it'd be cheaper for you to just pick it up at a kiosk or supermarket.

>he doesn't exclusively shop at smaller local supermarket chains

I gladly pay a few euros more so I don't have to share a store with immigrants and white trash

Maybe on managment level. The German company that is most known for paying over average salaries to their staff is DM.

I just used aspirin as an example.

"standard" painkillers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, paracetamol etc can be bought pretty much anywhere in the uk for next to nothing. You can even buy ibuprofen+codeine without a prescription. Albeit the amount of codeine is minimal.

We have one of these where I live, but I’ve never been there.

>I gladly pay a few euros more so I don't have to share a store with immigrants and white trash
This. This is the reason I do not go to Walmart

the biggest lidl and aldis are all at the swiss border because your stuff is so expensive

I would to but sadly the small local chains both cost at least 40% more and have nothing in comparison. The store is like 1/5th of the size.

Behold! The most based place to shop. No poors! Just high quality products for great prices

Do you shop here?

They advertise that products they sell are made of Finnish ingredients. I buy sparkling water from there

>Do you shop here?
We don't have that store here so no.

Yea they put a minimal ammount of opiods usually, even in serious narcotics for real pain that require a double script w/ indigo blue paper for records, because the NSAID is the limiting factor that causes the toxicity. Never ever mess with opioid painkillers unless teh pain is unbearable, and even then figure out how to get rid of the pain.

Drug users do cold water extractions of these pills to get the nsaid out and keep the opioid but i wouldnt trust that stuff. These drugs especially combined with a benzo like diazepam will hit the breathing centers in the brainstem really hard and kill a person from asphyxiation.

Pain is a difficult thing to gauge but no psychiatric meds or pain meds should be messed with too much.

I use my concerta because i almost have to but i hate the stuff and the cost, its just the only way to get through school. 54mg is my upper limit and im pretty sure it calms me down and unfocuses me more than it helps me focus. But my adhd problem is more of a boredom problem and an innability to stay still, fall asleep quick enough, and adhere to a schedule.

As soon as im done with med school im going to a psych job or something that i could enjoy so i dont have to take meds to make it through a day.

tl,dr, for anyone out there, alcohol, weed, or psych or pain drugs aren't to be abused.

The most interesting thing to me now is how alpha-mt is still used in spain, and that things like gabapentin can be used for neuropathic pain in diabetes. Id like to be a pain doc in the states some day but i just dont know what kind of atmosphere those ameris live in. I get the feeling germans maybe take thier medications more seriously. I mean 10 aspirins being so overpriced surely has a beneficial effect in the longterm against abuse, and they still get enough if they need them. In america they sell excedrin at costco for $20bucks and its 300 pills. Then people with migraines get hooked on it and have nsaid overuse headaches.

If you get one you should. They sell everything in bulk, but the price is much cheaper than what you’d pay for the same thing and amount at a local store.

Lad, I was just explaining the availability and cost of painkillers in the UK compared to Germany. I wasn't condoning opiate use or abuse of anything, for that matter.

Lidl in Poland is more expensive than in Germany.

SSRIs are alright if someone needs them for a little while or like a year or two, but the best anxiety solution is a nice long acting benzo like rivotril or lorazepam if we need a faster onset. People need to confront thier anxiety. Pills are ok. But not forever. Especaially not benzos every day.

Prescription drugs and a good doctor are a really really good tool in your pocket sometimes to get past things bogging you down in life.

But real depression for instance is someone who cant get out of bed and stays awake all night. Feeling down is best addressed with light jogs and a change in habits.

it's shit desu

I know you weren't, and im not 100% but 1000% sure about that. I just like to share these medical snipets on here to people. Hopefully someone enjoys it as much as i enjoy reading about what the rest of you have to say that is intelectually stimulating. It's why i come to this website every day. These are the only things im kind of able to contribute.

Spot on

Is costco still worth the $100 membership? My hmo is kaiser permanente and im pretty sure its the only place i can safely get a psychiatric prescription. Brand name adhd drugs work better than the generic at costco. I kind of think a smaller dose of adderrall will help me better than the mid to large dose of concerta, its all i can get here tho.

We have shops similar to that, Willy's for example. I usually buy a huge bag of rice (5 kg) there and huge sacks of potato for very low costs. They got most things you need in bulk.

A 100-pack of Aspirin costs about €2 online and €3 in a regular drugstore. What the fuck are you on about?

docmorris.de/ass-ratiopharm-100-mg/12587499

is that pippi?

We have something like that aswell, its where a lot of local supermarkets buy their stuff and you need a card to get in. its insanely cheap

The trick is it all still has to do with serritonin reuptake, but an ssri *other than prozac i think) causes erectile dysfunction and the same in women (low libido) and no one wants that.

Small "feeling down" tells me, go run or do something or make friends, organize your time better. Maybe have a little xanax if you feel too anxious to start. Then check in on them later before deciding if its real anxiety or real depression.

I love that in psychiatry you get time for a one on one, hopefully to get to know the person and help them be healthier. Then they wont ever *hopefully" need to see real doctors from self medicating with substances or overeating.

But to be one of these psychs takes extreme skill in psychoanalysis. Not that pussy psychology stuff. You need a grizzled vietnam vet kind of psychiatrist to really iron out problems. I really hate all the "tinas" running around slandering the profession. Makes me feel stigma for wanting to be a psych, hence why i might just do it so i can transfer into pain medicine.

Also the HMOs do 15 minute med checks more so than CBT, DBT, and the like. I dont know how to do this stuff but i hope i can.

i mean if a drug is legally listed and you dont need a doctors script to get it, i say go for it so long as its a real pharmaceutical warehouse. I wanted to import costco lidocaine patches for my occasional tension headaches (of the neck) so i wouldn't have to take a caffetein or ibubrophen. But its not legal here so i wont bother. The law here could think im trying to extract the lidocaine and make it into an injectable drug somehow even tho i lack the intellect or capacity or want for that.

our saviors

yea is the card a membership thing, like 100 euros and you can shop there? Id get one in the states if i was still living there but it feels stupid walking in to buy one or two things. I also dont drink any alcohol and think the clothes they offer and most electronics are overprices or shitty compared to outlets, newegg, amazon.

Neatest part of lidl is pic related, only 0.80 euros for half a liter 8% strong beer. Ideal for /comfy/ sunny afternoons.

Lidl is nice but I've been in Europe multiple times and my favorite supermarket chain is Albert Heijn.

is this the place where people who live off government gibs shop at? We have that here too, the one in my area is called Price Rite

Attached: 4-pricerite_baltimore-5.jpg (1600x1068, 448K)

Lidl only sell light beer here. No stronger than 3.5%.. Only the government run Systembolaget liquor stores are allowed to sell anything stronger.

same here, but if you buy generic brand in the pharmacy it is cheap

Lidl is shit tier though, some things are okay there but their own food for example tastes like shit

Yes

He says thats not even Finnish to the Pippi charter

I'd like to thank our valued customers for their continued patronage.

[spoiler]The real kicker of that graph is the fact that germany was the only one of these four countries that actually didn't want the common currency and opposed its introduction.[/spoiler]

In the old days pills containing 30mg codeine were over the counter, even single ingredient pills of 5mg ethylmorphine until around 2012 were without prescription.

Now they made the law more severe, only multi ingredient syrups containing under 7mg/ml codeine are OTC now.

>foreign company dominates your retail market, something that doesn't involve any special skills, innovations and stuff like that, so your own shopkeepers lose jobs and all profits are sent to Germany
>praise the Germans

As for me, all non-innovative enterprises should be barred from taking over our domestic market, since running a fucking shop is not rocket science, we don't have to let Germans suck us dry.

Never noticed that. No difference in quality from Ica or Coop.

Lidl just didn't get as complacent on the low-cost bracket. Aldi is only now starting to renovate its stores to have a nicer layout and design.

Turns out even poor people prefer to shop in clean looking places.

How did you get concerta? I have awful ADD problems. I'd like to get some, but my psychs won't prescribe it.

Cause you got the bad Aldi (Nord)

>all non-innovative enterprises

The fact that you think retail is "non-innovative" is probably a good part of the problem.

Maintaining this price margin and staying profitable is a extremly sophisticated science.

Not to mention all the research and experimentation that goes into designing the layouts for maximum exposure and let me not even get started on the just-in-time supply chain management.

Running a retail chain is actually harder than rocket science, because the market doesn't operate on anything as reliable as the laws of physics.

>we don't have to let Germans suck us dry.

Seems like a loosing battle, we have the supply-chains and thats the thing you just can't compete with at this stage. I'd recommend picking your battles on markets that you still can outcompete us in. Shouldn't be hard given how much more innovation and digital technology friendly poles are compared to german businesses.

I dare the Germans to try to set up in America. It would be a blood bath of epic proportions.
