Lidl has opened at 7625 Old Georgetown Road at Bethesda Place in downtown Bethesda. There were free German pretzels in the bakery, and many Supermarket Finds-worthy products to be found in the store's middle aisle area. T-shirts, underwear, and even $12 sneakers can be acquired there, as well as an outdoor projector and a screen to project onto. A comparison chart shows that you could save over $20 shopping at Lidl over Giant, based on the basket of common items they selected. Of course, the trade-off is that the selection of brands and food items is much larger at Giant. Low prices, a tight inventory, and seasonal German items are the top draws at Lidl, now finally here in Bethesda.
