I've bought computers at Lidl,
and there you definitely have to turn up early,
say an hour before the place opens.
At Lidl they give out reservation tickets before they open.

I've often been to Aldi at 11 o'clock or so,
and found they are all sold out of what I want.
On the other hand, the last PCs I saw there
seemed to last for weeks.

I think Lidl computer stuff is higher quality than Aldi,
but that may be nonsense.

Last time I was looking for an MP3 player in Aldi in Parnell St
which had gone by 11,
the man told me I would be better off going to a larger Aldi,
as they got far more of each item.
