Lidl Gels

[Richard A Thackeray]

Are on offer again

I saw these in the Featherstone branch yesterday evening, on my way home from the club-run (Ackworth Road-Runners), but didn't have sufficient money with me

Thus, I called on the return leg of this mornings ride over, & bought a pack, doing the traditional 'stick it up the jacket' to get back home

It's 11 gels, 6 drink powders/concentrates, & a bottle

All for; £7.99

There was only about a dozen on the shelf at that store, obviously I can't comment on stocks elsewhere

Thanks for the heads up, popped into Lidl in Paignton and they had about a dozen in stock, and also the runner's pack that has the "hand bottle" with the hole in it.
The High5 750ml bottle is the best bike bottle going in my view. Good bargain!

FYI the same pack is £6.99 on Amazon, has been for months. A bargain wherever you get it from

It was a bit of an odd special in that it didn't seem to be mentioned as a special. The High5 packs were on offer a good few months ago so I wonder whether they've slipped them back on to use up stocks. Meanwhile, some of the LiDLs around here still have Zero electrolyte tabs.

I've got one of the runners bottles too, that someone gave me
However, I'm sure I've only once taken a bottle with me on a run - that was on a fell-race (18miles!) & it was an old sports drink bottle, that I could deform, as it emptied, & fit it into my waist-bag (or fill up in a stream)

There were some perks to working on apollo bikes for £6.50 ph

Nothing in our Lidl but there were lots of packets of jelly babies so we got those instead.

Excellent pun.

I can recommend their wine gums as well. I consume a load of them when doing serious maintenance as well - helps the concentration.

I have such a low alcohol tolerance that even the word 'wine' in wine gums causes me to fall over. Midget Gems however, at 28p for half a ton, are excellent value and I highly recommend them.

Lidl ones?

You are aware by the way that they aren't made from midgets?
