Doesn't say anything otherwise in terms&conditions

What kind of language is this? Haha.

Why you wanna sheet ona da bed

They normally put the papers out Sunday/Monday before the offer is valid, missing the big shoppers Saturday. Have seen this in my local anyway.

ermm no

If I had a pound for every time I'd heard that joke, I could actually buy the whole store. :stuck_out_tongue:

Good to see comments off the old Aldi posts being recycled.

mml

Only original vouchers are valid

Buy bulk or things that last a while e.g. bin bags, toilet rolls, to bring the total up.

Respect senukas! I'm impressed! I normally try and get 2 shops in, as the voucher covers 2 weekends, so I can take advantage of 2 x weekend specials. This is great timing for me- I'm just running low on a few staples, so will stock up. Have some heat op, thanks!

It is LIDL News magazine. Usually in the stand with all liflets

​nope

nope

Nope, very easy to spend , £40, 45, 50, 25, £40, £40, £0, £80, if you need help to spend £40, upload your scans to a file sharing web site your last ten shopping bills at a large supermarket, post here this link and I am sure others would advise you how to spend £40.

Old joke

​Not at all,they have pulled beef half price this weekend. £1.47,amazing price and quality I could get a whole stack of them,plus their fruit and veg is normally better quality than the big names.

​me too

Nope

Do some scans of your shopping receipts to a file sharing web sites and post its link here, people may wish to advise you. What I buy there is cheese, meat, fish, tinned sardines, pasta sauce, sweets, bread and bakery, tea, oil, olive oil, cooked meat, yoghurt, wines, peanuts, washing powder, shampoo, etc. very easy to spend £40 , however if you are not familiar, just ask in the shop other customers why they like, and have a look to see what get put into shopping baskets by others.

​Buy a few items and compare quality/taste and take it from there. Their products are as good as the big brand products at a fraction of the cost.

Just because it is unfamiliar does not mean it is low quality . I can't tell the difference between their crisps and walkers . Some of their stuff is excellent . I managed to spend £185 there the other day but that did include two mattresses

​hahaha really so you missed the cheap brand name products then? As for unfamiliar well a tin of beans looks surprisingly like a tin of beans. Don't really get it they sell all the same stuff as any supermarket but most of their brands are their own or German but as for quality many of those brands have been tested by which and many lidl & Aldi products beat the brands completely.

As for it being a dump guess depends on the area but they do sell a lot of stuff off pallets but I'll tell you what, I have NEVER struggled to get my shopping done because there's 3 pallets down each Isle or staff with cages everywhere so horses for courses

​Rubbish

Despite some of the posts here some of their products are very low quality but you get to learn what is good and bad. They don't do own brand labelling but instead make up a lot of fake brands but I would say for much of the processed food many of the own brand budget labels from other supermarkets represent better quality and can be considerably cheaper than Lidl. The so called bakery in Lidl's is just a parbaked oven where half baked bread with extra chemicals added is then frozen and the last stage is finished in the oven in each Lidl store. This bread smells nice but not as nice as genuine instore bakeries and seems to have shorter life. Vegetables and fruit mostly don't have best before or use by dates so can be hard to work out how fresh products are. Often they already look less fresh anyway so consequently don't last as long. However there are also many good quality products at very competitive prices too. Like any shop look for the genuine offers and find the products that represent acceptable quality for you. Despite the limited range in Lidl I've found more products of unacceptable quality to me than any other supermarket. However I think they are a great source of unprocessed food generally fruit, veg and meat and you get many products that you simply don't see elsewhere from the continent. Also the weekly offers, power tools etc can be great value.

I'm not loyal to any supermarket and basically use them all at different times so feel I can get give a fair opinion.

I have never had a

Ask staff if they have LIDL news with voucher left as sometimes they "forget" to put them out.

I buy quite a few tjings you mentioned here and they are awesome. It will take many years for the propaganda that the big 4 retailers brought in on people to run off just as it took many years to creat it.

​your totally right...I love lidl people need to get over there snobbery...let them get on with it they are the ones losing out, yes products are much better and cheaper :-) I <3 lidl

TBH I haven't read your whole post but mmmm the Chicken Kievs... Best ones I've had!

You've said nothing bad about the place, not very impartial. There are some good things about Lidl but there's also lots of bad things. Many of their products are not much better, or even worse than the value lines in many supermarkets in my opinion and there's a distinct lack of choice in Lidl, as you're almost forced to buy their brands. I find the idea of putting some fancy label on a value range product quite deceptive and dishonest.

They like to make out that they're a lot different from the major supermarkets but they're up to all the same dirty tricks. Look what they did with that Batts branding. They changed the branding on some of their products, three times in a short space of time. I suspect this is because they bought the Batts brand and used it to try and increase sales. To me that sounds like a gross waste of money, it's the same product.... They also love to take a penny or two off a product, change the colour of the label and make it look like it's a great deal. And even though they've adopted the living wage, they're notorious for overworking people. I thought Tesco's was bad but Lidl is on another level.

Maybe you should take in a cookery class because their mince and steak and chicken is the best.

Haha! Me & BF say this! Go to Tesco, spend hour & half & £60+. Go to Lidl & done in half our & spent no more than £40!!

I will second that - bought a camellia last year and going strong, and their dahlia bulbs grew to become astounding plants that are still flowering beautifully now!

I think you are right and they don't do £5 vouchers around Christmas. There is a LIDL Christmas magazine out now though with 2 25% and 2 50% off vouchers inside for Deluxe Panettone, Macarons, Five Bird Roast and Long Clawson Blue Stilton. Hope it helps :smiley:
