    I’m a quilter and we use fat quarters quite often. They are a cut of fabric that measures 18x22 inches vs a quarter yard which is 9x44 inches.

    Fat quarters are pieces of different materials to make things with. I sew and knit so say you knit a purse you can line it with a piece of material or just make something with material. Hobby Craft sell them usually more expensive. You can get Disney ones to, from Ann

    Loved my Spirograph as a kid. About 10 years ago bought my adult self one. Still loads of fun and it's relaxing. Hand blenders are great. You can make a smooth soup or a veggie gravy right in the pan. Fat quarters for used by people who quilt. Think it's a quarter of a yard of fabric.

    I had an english teacher that believed that the bathroom was the place to read haha so she was always telling us never to bring phones to the Loo haha she told me I should pop a notebook and pen in my bathroom to write down ideas because I was always popping out ideas haha
    While watching this I'm wearing Lidls thermal leggings and I want them in every colour because they're actually so cosy and they werent expensive! I actually bought that Snackle box in Aldi for Harrison and I love it! I cant wait until picnic season so that we can actually bring it out of the house haha eating outdoors is not ideal in this cold! I do find Aldi stuff definitely more chaotic but Lidl is always pretty spotless for me Lidl wins it because they always have more stuff and unique stuff too like the ski pants etc they definitely hit the Niche markets better

    Best bargain I found ,at Aldis USA, was a Minnie Mouse bag for my granddaughter, 5.99. Found the same one at Disney World for 11.99. It was exactly the same. I can only go with Aldi, as no Lidil in Ohio yet. I've always liked Aldis middle isles.

    I'm in the US and I uave found so many deals. Here we call it the AOS or Aisle of Shame, because people go in for one thing and spend a lot of money in those aisles. We have found a couple Dutch ovens for 14.99 US. I found a console table for 24.99 US instead of the 89.99 US. My daughter got the immersion blender/hand blender. I got the food vacuum sealer. We have spent a lot there throughout the years but have saved a lot of money too.

    You NEED a stick blender. I couldn't do without mine. I use it for:
    Soups and dips
    Home made vegan mayo
    Home made hummus
    Home made vegan butter
    Home made vegan cheeses
    I even use it for emergency oat milk when I've run out of my favourite.
    Honestly, a stick blender is a life (money) saver.

      Dynamic or Bamix are the top end immersion blenders with multiple accessories for blending, frothing, emulsifying etc... Bamix have quick change attachments, Dynamic you need a small screwdriver to change blades/discs.
      If you use one a lot then they are the brands i would recommend but for occasional use the Lidl or Aldi ones are fine.

    Can't believe U did this!! ❤ Amazing. In terms of customer service you go to the till, I only know this from a blind point of view with needing assistance around the sbop... I find particularly Aldi, if you go when they are busy they r very happy to help But If you go when it's empty... it's like do I have to? Sort of attitude... I don't understand why though. Lidl staff member stood and asked where I parked my car... whilst I was holding my cane! xx
