So, is Lidl open on Boxing Day? No. Stop Googling and put your shoes away. The gherkins can wait until the 27th.
Honestly, it’s a relief. The last thing you need after the Christmas chaos is a trip to a discount supermarket to buy more stuff. Let the staff have their day off. Let yourself have a day off.
And if you really need those gherkins? Well, that’s a lesson learned the hard way. I’m now a qualified expert in pre-Christmas pickle procurement. You’re welcome.
