Lidl<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Lidl\"<\/p>\n

Budget:<\/strong> \u20ac<\/p>\n

German brand of low-cost supermarkets, it sells food and hygiene products amongst others. It presents itself as the lower-priced brand as it says that it offers the least expensive products on a national scale.<\/p>\n

The price range is an important criterion when it comes to food shopping and the one offered by Lidl is reasonable and affordable.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t sell all the brands that other supermarkets sell but the ones they do have in their stores are equivalent. So this brand is really convenient for small budgets.<\/p>\n

Today, there are close to 20 stores in the capital.<\/p>\n

Here are some <\/span>examples of prices<\/b> in <\/span>Lidl<\/b> shops (food, drinks, hygiene and petcare):<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Magasins U bring together two types of shops in Paris: the Super U and the U Express.<\/p>\n

The first one is a typical supermarket with a great assortment of products.<\/p>\n

The second one is also a supermarket but smaller in size, even if it offers the same brands as the Super U.<\/p>\n

The long-term goal here is to be installed pretty much everywhere in Paris.<\/p>\n

The goods that are sold by this brand, in addition to the ones of their own brand, are designed to be accessible for everyone.<\/p>\n

The aim here is to offer a wide choice of products at various prices to satisfy all the customers in their 20 shops in Paris.<\/p>\n

This supermarket sells a variety of brands, but also their own that represent half of their total sales. This shows that there is demand for their own products of quality at an affordable price.<\/p>\n

The Casino supermarkets, Petit Casino and Casino Shop offer a range of fresh food produce and even organic or gluten-free food, and this allows them to attract all kinds of customers.<\/p>\n

In their roughly 10 shops in Paris, the price range of the products is affordable and suitable for all budgets.<\/p>\n
