One of my clients has mental health problems and occasionally he literally runs out of clothing. Normally this isn't a problem as I bulk buy cheap T shirts and joggers online for him and eke them out as he needs them, but because I was ill before lockdown I'm out of sync and now he's out of clothes. I can't buy locally because he's size 2XL, so today I was reduced to putting out an SOS as we can't get to a shop and the online place has (quite rightly) closed pro tem. The middle of Lidl has been a lifesaver in the past, but not this time, I'm afraid.

We always do our fortnightly shop at our local Lidl and will need to go later this week to stock up on food. Can we still buy those random items in the middle aisles or only essential food, drink and cleaning items?
I ask because I read that police were checking and fining people with non-essential purchases; I don't know how true that was. Could I claim I needed them for my mental health?

I will have a quick look to see if there is anything I can't do without, but don't intend to browse. I'm hoping they might have some knicker elastic (don't ask 
). I was just wondering if I needed to conceal these random items about my person in case I was subjected to a bag search. Now where could I hide that MIG welder.....
