What this Lidl is like
This is a branch of Lidl on Folkungagatan, in SoFo on Södermalm, and what you notice first is how the shop handles itself: goods sit out on tables and balconies rather than in long organised shelves, so you help yourself and the prices stay low.
The reason to come is the range. German lines and imported products turn up here that the big Swedish chains do not carry, and the theme weeks push the produce beyond the usual staples. Fruit and vegetables are the strongest thing in the shop, and the bakery earns its place too, with pain au chocolat called out by name. The smoked mackerel at the fish counter is worth building a meal around.
How it works is plain: a small, sometimes cramped floor between the shelves, self-checkout when it is open, and a deposit machine that has a habit of being out of order.
On cost, this is a cheaper shop than the alternatives nearby, and the weekly offers are where the savings sit, so they run out by the end of the week. Use the app while you shop for points and offers. Red Bull is cheaper here than in Finland.
The pavement outside gets slippery in icy winter weather.

Smoked mackerel
A fish counter item worth the trip on its own.

Who is this for
This suits a traveler staying in SoFo who wants to cook a cheap meal from good produce and pick up German imports along the way. It also works for anyone arriving late on a Sunday, since the doors are open until 10 pm like every other night. And if you are chasing the theme-week items, it is the branch to build a shop around.
If you want a sit-down pastry and a princess cake rather than a supermarket shop, Åsö Konditori & Bageri on Åsögatan is the nearby stop for that.
The verdict
The produce, bakery and imported lines are worth the detour, and the store suits a traveler shopping for value and specific items.
