You think with those modern tills they'd be able to be more precise with your total.

do you know how hard it is to spend £50 there! :wink:

We spent £200 there last weekend. Bought weekly shop and loads if Xmas food and booze. Got £40. Off. Result! Thanks op for this picked up another 4 vouchers for this week. Xmas champagne and load the freezer up with meat. So in 1 week thats £80 worth of free grub and booze. Bargain. And for all the doubters. Try it. Have shopped there for 2 years now. Saving a fortune and eating better quality food than from Tesco.

Dinner? Oh, and not eating nothing but spinach and lentils for every meal as that's not exactly a healthy long term eating plan with a varied diet with a good mix of protein and vegetables.

Can I still use this voucher on 6th (Sunday)? Thank You

I bought 6 bottles of ale and a bottle of Rose with my shopping and the voucher still deducted £10 from the total amount so no restrictions with alcohol

It's in today's sun too.

That made me lol mate :smile:

Food bank is free.

I travel to goto the waitrose supplied one, saves me over £75 per week.

If only they had wine :-(

Get in there early today to snap up the special offers to help save you even more, some good deals today the 3rd.

Just to let you all know (as a current Lidl employee) you do NOT need to have the £10 off voucher as most of the cashiers will have one at hand and will automatically deduct the £10 if it's over £50.
Also something to note is if your shopping comes to £200 as an example, you can split it into 4 seperate transactions and get £40 off that way.
Made a lot of customers happy today!
Expires 6/12/15.

Nice spot! Heat added!

op you sure you don't work for lidl? everyone of your posts are from lidl

Or a bum to wipe.

Just one problem there no way I buying the Tory rag :-( shame

Hot! I had bought this when saw it advertised but it's not available in Northern Ireland which is annoying

Or a bigger wallet.

There is, I've got it, maybe it was the November one but it hasn't expired yet!

Ha

My ex wife could do that in about a minute.

Used MY £10 Lidl voucher from Saturday's Sun newspapers on Monday, here's my shop;-
2 x pk Onions 59
2 x pk 10 Red apples £1.19
4 x 750g potato wedges £2.36
3 x pk 10 frankfurters £2.55
3 x pk of 4 Branston bake beans £3.87
6 x 1 litre Orange juice £3.30

2 x 500g pk of Diced beef steak £5.78
Glass light up kettle £19.99
Total £50.60 - £10.00
FINAL TOTAL :- £40.59P

it all depends on who you get at the till. If you did a good job and printed it both sides you might get away with it, but you need a scan of the back of the page too

thanks op got mine, so i'll save £9.40 on a £50 spend. It is a challenge for a household of two to spend £50 there but as other commenters said you gotta get some booze or stuff for the freezer and deffo gotta drive as I could never walk to the town centre one and try to lug £50 worth home ...

Voucher t & c says only original vouchers are valid. Copies will not be accepted

You should still find a Daily Mail on sale 'till late tonight

Save yourself 60p,take a small pair of scissors into newsagents and cut out coupon

There was a £5 off £40 spend in the in store Lidl News July/August/September/October/November edition
This is a £10 off £50 spend voucher
It was also in the Lidl news that came with the Mail and Sun supplements on Saturday
There is NO VOUCHER in the in store Lidl News December edition!

There was a £5 voucher in their instore paper too...

Why buy the paper when the lidl magazine is free in lidl???

Who's getting up in the air you nerd?

Buy 2 papers and split the shop, how bad can that be?

do you know how hard it is to spend £50 there! :wink:

Just got mine. Hosting a dinner party on Friday so perfect timing

wonder what that £49.99 whiskey is like.

post a review of it on the alcohol thread, Digger - if you're going to get a bottle.

Pity they don't sell Weed :sunglasses:

Remember, you can use the self service checkouts - no one will judge you!

We don't buy loads of crap, we buy the unbranded stuff that Lidl is known for but fill our trolley - we were doing £140 in Morrisons so £100 in Lidl (which is the norm) is fine by me, as I said the £130 we did this weekend was because I stocked up on lots of meat.

sorry about that - big hugs xx

that's the tortilla chips, like dorittos but lidl own ones. pretty good substitute,

Literally restating my point there, with a bit of humblebrag thrown in for good measure. The tone of your first post was more akin to '£50 in Lidl?! Bunch of idiots, What Do You spend all that money on?!' - hence me pointing out that nearly everyone shops to their means, rather than spending as little as possible.

You followed that bit of snark with some extremely cheap, simple food prep examples - Weetabix and fruit salad? Why didn't I think of that?!

Chicken, roasted, with tatties, gravy, peas, broad beans, carrots - sprinkle a load of paprika powder on it! I reckon all that would be under a fiver. And you've got great ingredients for some soup stock and sandwiches. :smiley:
Chilli - 500g of mince (cheaper if you go pork) about £1,50 isn't it? £2 max....chilli sachet, one onion - pence....kidney beans 30p...add some chillis £1 ? grate some cheese, get some creme fraiche, serve with tortillas (30p a sack) - top tip, grill the cheese on top of the chili with the tortillas round the edge, what I'm having tonight and is well tasty! - £2.50 for that meal for 5 people?

etc

I'm hungry now - time for soup and bread ends!

Indeed, I was suggesting some ideas, as opposed to writing a book for you. Watercress soup is cheap too. As are those mini shredded wheats. Cheers!

(silly me suggesting ways of saving money in a place like this....oh...err, hang on?! :P )

Calm down sweet pea, it was just some helpful example and suggestions for keeping the total down(what with it being a bargain site n'all). If you're happy and able splashing the cash, good luck to you. Me personally, I spend my money on visiting different countries or going to gigs. I couldn't afford that if I spent loads on food.

Managed to spend £80 in there last week.

I'm waiting for the voucher from Saturday to be sent. does anyone know the expire date on the sat voucher? thanks

Think that voucher was the 6th as well, used mine but might have to take advantage of this one as well !

have to use it by the 6th Dec

Is a tenner off worth buying the fail for?

Awesome, thanks :smile:

Whilst a nice plan, I think most people here will agree that variety really is the spice of life.

I could probably live off about £2 worth of a food a day if you throw in some pesto, cream cheese pasta dinner. But that would be really boring! (Trust me, there have been times where being a student a big bag of pasta or rice literally is all you eat)

I probably spend about £15 on meat a week for me and my girlfriend add in £15 worth of veg, fruit and other food items. A couple home goods like black sacks and some personal items like deodorant and a bottle of wine or such to share on the friday night and £50 can quickly appear. And that's only for 2 of us!

Just because we don't all live on lentil and spinach soup doesn't mean we all waste money, so don't mind paying more to eat well.

thanks for this! missed the last one. there is 7 of us and we shop in lidl weekly. spend around £70/80 a week. tha nappies are worth stocking up on. Will be getting all the xmas goodies in with this :smiley:

Wicked, missed out on the one before the other day!!

Thanks :smiley:

I can easily spend £50 a week for me and my son. Ok it'll probably last a week and a half realistically.
for anyone struggling, just buy some extra meat than you would normally and put it in the freezer....

Erm, the big evening meal ? :smiley:

Maybe people spend what they want / what they can afford to spend? Did anyone here ask for advice on how to feed a family on a benefits budget? Going by that list the two of us in my household probably spend double your budget, but then we're not subsisting on spinach, lentils and rolled oats...

Dinner? Oh, and not eating nothing but spinach and lentils for every meal as that's not exactly a healthy long term eating plan with a varied diet with a good mix of protein and vegetables.

I'm told this was condescending to people so I've deleted it. Sorry for any offence, it wasn't meant in a nasty way.

And 1 almond to go with whisky and its £50!

This should make up for Saturday's debacle - bought 2 copies from 2 different shops but none had the Lidl pamphlet.

Thanks

A bottle of their 28 year old malt malt whisky £49.99 of it done.

Just buy the ham in the picture ... bargain at £99.99 :confused:

You think with those modern tills they'd be able to be more precise with your total.

Shame its the daily mail...

All these years of the boyfriend buying the Daily Fail and it finally has something useful inside! Cheers OP

Brilliant, thanks!
