A law of nature

[nineveh_uk]

When a potential shopper goes into Lidl/Aldi, one of two things must happen:

(1) They leave without making a purchase.
(2) They leave having purchased at least one item that they did not intend to purchase when they entered the shop.

This post is brought to you by a day on which I visited both. I was at least able to resist the licorice liqueur*, and sadly did not have to resist the merino mid-layer which was what I went for**, because although it was great and only £15, it had a high collar and the wool wasn't quite hard*** enough not to irritate my neck.

I do have some blackberry liqueur and a very large amaryllis bulb. And mini-stollen.

*Possibly the least difficult thing I have ever done in my life.

**Officially for cycling, but I reckoned it would work for skiing.

***That may not be the technical term, but I know what I mean!

I love Aldi's, but I can't take my husband with me, because we have a very tight food budget and he puts things in the cart. And why, if you want to try it and don't know if you like it or not, do you get two cans? This makes no sense to me.
