Yes, it should be right in with the other lemonades, that's how I found it.

I think lemonade is with the Coke and stuff at our supermarket. Maybe. I don't buy it often enough to notice! But I'll look for it at Somerfield tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

In a Somerfield I'd imagine it would be with the other fizzy juices.  Some large supermarkets put the soda, tonic water, lemonades with the bottled waters over by the booze. 

Others it's just one aisle for all things fizzy or boozy  ;D.

For some reason, I think the lemonade is with the ordinary fizzy drinks. Then soda and tonic are with the boozy things.

That's how it usually is in Sainsbury's.  I wish they were closer together, really.  The rum and Coke shouldn't be so far apart...neither should Pimms and lemonade!

See, at our local Sain's, the lemonade is with the soda, tonic and bottled waters, which are next to the booze.

But in Tesco, it's with the other fizzy drinks, which are conveniently located in the same aisle as the booze.

Too confusing. This is why my one visit to Asda was my last ... nothing was where it ought to have been. I mean, I think I have a rough idea intuitively of where things should go in a supermarket, but the Asda people seemed to be using a completely different play book.

Anyway, our Somerfield is tiny, so I trust I'll find the lemonade tomorrow. Thanks!

I don't often go to Lidl's, but they do have some fabulous Swiss chocolate. I just get confused about not being able to translate ingredients from their packaging!  :-\\\\

I don't think anyone said anything about this yet (I'm rereading the thread because I'm on a Lidl's mission this evening).  The ingredients are always listed in English too.  You just need to find the GB list in the teeny-tiny font 18-language list!  I recommend bringing a magnifying glass.   ;)  Finding the ingredients list in English is what takes us the most time in Lidl, since I won't eat sweetners and DH is allergic to shellfish.

Yep. I just got back and the eye strain was killing me.

I scored the grape juice and iced tea as well as some continental sausages. I could have gone mad on the olives, salamis, etc. but was trying to stick to the planned menus this time around. Next time will take DH as he loves the tapas and antipasto stuff.

Oh, and Lidl's coleslaw is incredible.  The best coleslaw I've ever had - just needs a little pepper and it's fab!!

those little shrink-wrapped 'tapas' things on sticks are really nice... i take them to work for lunch sometimes.

Yeah, some Tescos have the tinned refrigerated croissants, but only Aldi has the dinner rolls as well!  ;)

If you've not got a Lidl, you can also get fizzy lemonade w/o all that aspartame and crap artificial sweetners from most supermarkets as Schwepps 'Straight Cut' lemonade.

I found it at Somerfield today! YUM!  ;D
