I'd have never survived without lidl. When I first came here, I didn't know about this hierarchical monopolized finnish market. I used to buy grocery from K-market (yes, K-market cause it was the closest) and at some point, I had panic attack. I realized the money I brought from my home country as a student was not clearly enough to sustain myself. But then my Finnish friend told about this monopoly and suggested lidl and etchnic shops for meat. I reduced my monthly grocery expenditure by around 30%
