Fancy going scuba diving, practising your sewing skills, getting into the game of ping pong or becoming a DIY expert?
All of these options (and many more) can become reality during a casual stroll down Lidl’s middle aisle.
The treasure trove of bargains and oddities is regularly updated so if you’re ever uninspired by the current selection then a new one is always around the corner.
Recently, it was announced that Lidl was cutting back on its non-food products after ‘Middle of Lidl’ lost its “appeal” and sales dropped below a 10% share of Lidl’s total business, according to a report by the RetailGazette.
So, to remember the weird and wonderful diversity of the middle aisle (with varying products per store nationwide), here are 10 ‘Middle of Lidl’ items that caught customer’s eyes from all over the UK.
9. Automatic Welding Helmet
Remember the last time you saw two disjointed metal parts and thought "I better weld them together"? Didn't think so, but in case you did Lidl has you covered with this automatic welding helmet. After all, it's always better to be safe rather than sorry. Photo: Parkside (via Amazon)
10. Diabetic Socks
For many, this is a product you may never have heard of but it is indeed important. While not every diabetic individual requires these socks, some do as they have sensitive feet and suffer from a variety of foot conditions that require specialised protection in this area. They are specially designed to decrease the risk of foot injury, keep the feet dry, and optimise blood flow. Photo: BWFolsom (via Getty Images)
