Now officially the fourth most popular supermarket in the country, Brits have well and truly been won over by discount supermarket Lidl.
The Big Four-disruptor has been praised for its special buys, themed weeks and selling things you didn't realise you needed in the middle aisles (hedge trimmer, anyone?)
