Lidl - Gluten vs Gluten Free Basket Comparison đ
The last supermarket in our basket comparison series! Let's see how Lidl did...
Iâve never really been a huge Lidl shopper; thereâs not one super local to me and I always felt like it was one of those places you go into and it feels like youâre in a supermarket abroad. I canât be teasing myself like that!
So I wasnât sure how good their gluten free offerings would be. I knew that, like Aldi, they donât have a specific own branded gluten free section but I thought maybe theyâll have one up on Aldi (seeing as theyâre always in competition) and offer at least a few gluten free staples.
How wrong I was! âčïžÂ
Just like my Aldi trip, I didnât find any of the 9 items in my gluten free basket and, given I had nothing to compare them to, I didnât bother pricing up the normal gluten products.
Itâs a real shame that Lidl doesnât have those basic gluten free items, because itâs actually a pretty good supermarket and I know that itâs favoured by a lot of people. But, just like we explained with Aldi, if you canât get your basic gluten free items at Lidl, like bread, pasta or flour, then youâre either going to shop elsewhere or youâre going to have to visit another supermarket after you go to Lidl, which is just time consuming and a hassle!

Now, donât come at me, because I do know that Lidl have gluten free products in their stores. These are products often referred to as accidentally gluten free because theyâre not usually labelled gluten free or in a specific free from aisle, they just donât have gluten in their ingredients. Which we love!
So click on the image below to find all of the gluten free items I found at my local Lidl. If youâre missing pringles, then youâre going to want to read this!
Lidl, if you want one up on Aldi, then start introducing some gluten free staple products to stock in your stores. Just start with one option for a loaf of bread and maybe a pasta then just see how well it sells!
