Every Lidl helps ...

[DeejayR]

My local Lidl had run out of high-protein rolls yesterday so I asked the chap on the baking section if they'd be making any more and he promised to set aside a dozen for me in the next batch. When I went back in 45 mins there they were on a tray beside the oven, nice and warm. Good customer service there. I told him the rolls were a boon to some diabetics and he was surprised, of course.

Hi,

I hope you explained to the fellow how & why..?

 

[Deespee23]

Yes I agree - they don't seem to know how important these things are to us.....maybe they could do with a bit of discrete advice? They could certainly market them in a more focused way - but they would have to make more to ensure that they didn't run out before I got there....

Steady on @DeejayR . Don't want them putting the price up!



Jealous coz no Lidl near me.

The protein rolls were on offer in my local Lidl a week or so ago. I have a couple on the freezer, should I suddenly "need" one, but I don't bother with any bread these days.

Having been LCHF for some 5 years and never bothered with any sort of bread / bread substitute, I went out to buy a High Protein bread roll from my local LIDL in Spain to reply to an enquirer on here and I am sad to say I am hooked! I bought 2 more today and for dinner we had mixed pates, fine French cheeses, half a tomato, half a stick of cucumber a few olives and two thin slices, cut vertically, of the LIDL bread roll spread with wonderful artisan butter with sea salt flakes, it seems like such an indulgence, I hadn't even realised I missed bread!

I hope this isn't the start of a slippery slope! I'm sure it was easier to 'Just say no!'.

That is exactly what I have been thinking. Living quite happily without bread, so if I happen to try a Lidl roll, then like it, but can't get to a Lidl store for more, then I would be likely to crave bread. Any bread. A slippery slope to addiction for me. Hence my aforementioned, Lidl protein roll envy.

Strangely, I don't find that to be true....I used to eat loads of bread, but on "D-Day" I stopped dead. Since had the Lidl rolls, but don't find myself compelled to eat them to excess - usually have 1 a week. I just find they make a very pleasant addition to my usual LCHF diet - very good with bacon, cheese, pate etc.

My local Lidl staff are great like that too, after I explained that they were great for diabetics, and if I ask them to save me half a dozen, they happily do!

Thanks, @Deespee23
I don't trust my addictive nature enough. Maybe, one day. Meantime I will just have the extra bacon or cheese.

I admit to being totally addicted. Occasionally my Lidl has run out but I always make sure I go well before I run out of them. If I get down to 2 or 3 in my freezer I am agitated until I get some more. I live in complete fear of Lidl withdrawing them.

I'm surprised they actually knew what "a dozen" was.

One time, when passing through the checkout, there was a young lad on the till and I had a load of milk in my trolley. Rather than take each one out separately, I simply took one out, pointed to them and said (unthinking, like) "there's a dozen of those". He just gawped at me, and asked "what's a dozen"? ??

Don't you feel old some days ...........

Yes old but vaguely superior - I even know my times tables!
Next time get a bakers dozen or even a score.
