Default Lidl Gardening Bargains

Did anyone manage to get the Lidl garden bargains?

I got lucky this time, and, even by lunchtime, managed to get what I wanted.
But only just. There was one chap, who I've seen at Lidl before, with no
less that 18 of the polytunnels in his basket.
He really didn't look the type to be planting fruit and veg - no doubt it'll
end up on a market stall 2 hours later for £7.
I couldn't find any more, but the manager helped me find the two I wanted
which had slipped down behind the racking.

I'm 100% certain I'm going to hear the "free market economy" thing, but if
other stores can impose "fair quantity" limits, why not Lidl?

Bottom line is, the quality of the spade, rake, pruner and gloves seems
quite solid, and at least it's not made in a sweatshop in a brutal communist
regime, which is always the danger with cheap tools these days.

(I'm ignoring the current Lidl thread in uk.rec.gardening cos it seems to be
100% trolling)
