I thought what they really wanted was for people to read the message
and click the URL, and then make a purchase?

Even just clicking the URL should earn them some points because they
can keep a note of the IP addresses and see if the number rises after
a spamming run.

Do you promise to tell the spam, the whole spam, and nothing
but the spam?

I was under the mistaken impression that Lidl sourced all of their canned
goods from German suppliers.

Not in Lidl in Noordwijk. The only time I visted it, it had a
comprehensive variety of XXXX like products and frankfurters.
In UK & NL a lot of Lidl stock is sourced locally and elsewhere besides
Germany. The bread in Lidl in UK appears to have been baked in UK and
shipped via Germany. It is never fresh.

Certainly for fresh/perishable produce. The key word above was "canned" ;)

Maybe the store you frequent does not sell much bread because of the
availability of real quality local bakeries which are so lacking in
certain counties in the UKofGB&NI.

The local co-op sells the same make of bread. It isn't a low turnover
problem in Lidl.
