Lol, I have that problem when shopping, too- at least it keeps the economy afloat....
Lidl are a funny outfit in terms of what can appear from time to time(and Aldi stores frequently offer "off the wall" stuff as well). My local store was piled high with heatshrink packs, then a couple of days later all was gone, just the "screwits" and a few other associated things. I was puzzled at seeing them too, I recall seeing the original ceramic cone type as a kid when our house was being re-wired back in the '70s but never expected to see them again. I suppose if an interest group gets wind of a particular unusual product, then social media spreads the word and folk pounce. I don't like the "Scotchlok" style connectors, but I can see that they'd be popular with groups ranging from ICE fans to model railway enthusiasts who aren't necessarily skilled at wiring.
