£10 a FIFTY £ spend, that's a lot of lidl shopping I've never managed to spend more than £40 despite trying

Wonderful insightful indepth review of Lidl, must stop shopping in there for the fresh veg(which does quite rightly smell, strangely of veg)and yes the people in there smell unlike the shoppers in other stores who have no fragrance at all.

Merry Xmas Happy :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks! My BF is a manager in Lidls and the staff have double discount up to Christmas so with this too it's a great saving.
P.S. I can personally guarantee that my BF does not smell! (Well only of nice aftershave!!) :smile:

Lidl and Aldi are really putting pressure on the big supermarkets this year.
They really must be a thorn in the sides of Tesco, Morrison's et al.

It says on the voucher only one alcohol product can be bought but people have used it if 2 or 3 bottles of wine is amongst their shopping. Don't think a trolley full of bottles would get through.

can you use the voucher on just buying beer and wine ?

​this is my thoughts totally well said. it went from cookies to croissants, make your mind up. you've moaned about everything about Lidl but, suddenly there's alcohol involved its different. You have even slated someones football team insinuating they smell the same. no need for it. clearly you have nothing better to do.

​do you say this about your local Asian shop, the ones that open all day everyday? I guess not!!

Thanks, not tried Lidl normally go Aldi. Are there products a similar quality to Aldi for fresh meat and veg. Thinking of getting the turkey there

Your very welcome

I bought the Sun in a hurry at Tesco and found there was no Lidl News in it, even checked the actual paper for a voucher.

Either it doesn't come in Northern Ireland editions or Tesco is sneakily removing competitors promotions from national newspapers :confused:

Voucher in the sun, 70p, valid from 19th-27th, hope that helps.

I don't suppose you've stopped to wonder, have you, why it is that people are 'directing comments at' you? Here, and elsewhere on HUKD, you seem to be upsetting people for some reason. If it's intentional, it's trolling. Careful - you look to be heading for a banning order. :wink:

What, not even Falkirk? Wahahahaha

Same here. Please stop sending me messages 2ManyKids. Its trolling on a whole new level!

Please don't message me again, I have absolutely no interest in you.
I simply asked you nicely whether you could stop trolling the thread just until we could suss out when , and where the vouchers where and when they ran out. As I said, your posts were making the thread very hard to follow and it is a money saving site not a chat site, as you seem to believe.

I don't do mu food shop at Lidl but after reading this tread I popped in this morning to see if I could do my christmas shop there. The only thing I could buy there is lamb leg. Apart from that I didn't find any sugarfree joghurt, no organic milk etc. If I'd go for the unhealthy option than yeah, I could do a proper shop with my trolley full of fizzy drink, chocolate, nutella, sugary joghurt...

I don't spend £50 in one shop :-(

I Have commented on this, people have directed comments at me and I have responded, That is not trolling, Ignorant person.

You speak to me like that because I have an opinion about how a chain of cheap supermarkets are? Get a grip!

​neither can I

Just bought "The Sun" just for the voucher.... can't find it anywhere.
Update:
Got it now... seems it's in with TV supplement, that I didn't get till going back to the shop.

Oh, you are a troll. The epitome of a troll , to be fair.
Just because you are not insulting or rude does not mean you are not a troll.

You have trolled this thread relentlessly with one ridiculous opinion which has no bearing on the thread whatsoever. An opinion that not one person has agreed with, by the way.

As I suspected, a sad troll

Another muppet added to my ignore list

haha. Sad Troll?! If you looked at my profile, you would see I am not a troll? I really hate the way some people dismiss users on here who interact a lot as 'trolls'. This site was designed for people to comment and share! People have been commenting directly at me, so I have replied a few times, hardly trolling! As for 8 visits, I have been in Lidls a lot more than 8 times, they have been around a while and in past circumstances and convenience have dictated, its called consumer choice. Just because I have a different view from you and others about the place, does not warrant abuse or ridicule. A 14 year old girl, and two 12 year boys agreed with me last night, the place has a funny smell, although admittedly, there is bakery smell in the mix now. I can only arrive at conclusion that Either Lidl employees or fanatics are commenting a lot on this thread now, which is sad. Voucher is good, always said that. Love the site and will not apologise for using it :smiley:

Voucher valid 19th-27th Dec, (taken from Lidl News insert voucher in the Daily Mail)

Why did it take 8 visits to smelly stores with disgusting food that made you ill before realising lidl wasn't for you?

Glutton for punishment or just a sad troll?

Popped into Lidls earlier on way to star wars. Looked in 2 brochure type leaflets, no voucher, and the funny smell unique to Lidls was there. 3 of my kids with me said same and that it was ugly. £10 off if able to get booze is great though, and I did have a look at the booze section, looked great.

In mainland Europe Lidl is just another supermarket - it doesn't have the "discount" snobbery that we in the UK have for it.

I'm a Weegie and within walking distance of three Lidls (city centre, Springburn and Dennistoun). The only time there are "funny smells" are from the patrons, not the stores. Happens in Poundland at times too - but it's not confined just to discount stores - stinky people are everywhere!

I'm really struggling to get what you're trying to convey there?

I agree...and I'm a foreigner cashier at a supermarket.:wink:

Available exclusively in The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, OK! Magazine, Daily Record on Saturday 19th December.
EXCLUSIVELY?

Aldi. The choice of the xenophobe.

You could also get the Telegraph (and the Lidl news inside) for free by spending £10 in Waitrose on Saturday. That would depend on finding bargains in Waitrose tho! :laughing:

From what I can gather the OP says its in tommorows paper

Where the voucher is

Lidl News or tomorrow in one of the news paper mentioned by op.

WE KNOW!!!

You are obviously never going to stop making this thread about yourself so can you just do the rest of us a favour, when you find out where the coupons are and how long they last could you please let us know.

That would be the cheapest holiday ever. I think you should make a tread about it on this site

Oh my word!

I don't know which Lidls" too many kids" shops in I have never had a complaint about the stores the staff who are 1st class helpful or the food!!!!
I might ask why do you even bother going there leave the bargains to us that apprieciate Lidl??

No Voucher in my lidl news and it is the 2nd edition Dec one

I actually like the smell, it reminds me of going shopping when I am holiday in Europe in those seaside mini-market places. I just need to put a bit of coconut smell Hawaiian Tropic sun cream on and I will feel like I am there already!

Lidl rocks, great value, great products, excellent quality and paying their staff a decent wage. Tesco, on the other hand sucks.

States that only 1 alcoholic purchase per voucher. They didn't care in my local store. Used it to buy 2 bottles of champagne and 6 bottles of prosecco. Nice

is booze included as they do a nice couple of wines?

mine smells of fresh bread from the bakery, we used to have a butchery in it that wasn't nice but it's gone now, love lidl food especially at Christmas, ours is getting rebuilt so am missing it this year but will be making a special visit to my next nearest before Christmas, not horrible, not smelly, just nice food at a lot less than the major conglomerates.

Hope you are paying your taxes and creditors

ta louise looking for vodka so may take a look.

I love how any discount retailer is met with such snobbery on HUKD. Do they really expect us to believe that there's such a high concentration of Fortnum & Mason shoppers scanning this site for deals?

I personally think Lidl is great. Tesco get a lot less of my money these days. Their fresh bread is nicer and their fruit and veg is better.

My only issue with this deal would be being seen buying any of these right wing rags. OK! it is :smiley:

weird... the online mag says vouchers on page 34 in it's contents... but no vouchers on page 34?

My sister really likes Lidl's (triple distilled?) vodka and hasn't had any problems with vouchers. Think she's stocked up enough now, but will pass it on.

This one http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6bWsAiLK2OA/UffxGkpbm9I/AAAAAAAAA0o/EYwytubUSmM/s1600/Putinoff+Platinum+(2).JPG (some reviews say better than Grey Goose, might be worth a try). Actually five times distilled.

When these deals are on I usually go with my Mother in Law or a friend and we spend and save 1/2 each.
Only ever had one bad thing in about 7 years.
Love their food weeks The staff in our branch are very nice. Would recommend but do shop elsewhere as well.

Maybe you love Lidl just a little too much?

can you photocopy one when you have one

Sounds like his piles are playing up again

Maybe your nose is too near your own @rse?

£10 a FIFTY £ spend, that's a lot of lidl shopping I've never managed to spend more than £40 despite trying

You are ruining this thread.
You are the only person who thinks Lidl smells (it does, but only of fresh bakes bread) so can you leave the thread alone now , please, so we can try and easily find where to find this voucher and how long it lasts for.

Thanks

I dont care what any shop smells like as long as the price is right. Im not gonna live in there.

anyone know if there were Aldi vouchers in the Mirror today?

Thanks! My BF is a manager in Lidls and the staff have double discount up to Christmas so with this too it's a great saving.
P.S. I can personally guarantee that my BF does not smell! (Well only of nice aftershave!!) :smile:

Good deal. Hot.
Personally I love Aldi over Lidl. I find it cheaper (cereal, nuts, pizzas, yoghurts, cheese, fruit & veg & more) and it has a lot more of what I need for my family shopping than Lidl.

picked up one of these 2nd edition lidl news in store yesterday and it does NOT have the voucher so you really do gotta by the poxy daily mail one to get the voucher.

Anyone know the expiry date of the voucher? Thx in advance

​ :smile::stuck_out_tongue:

our Lidl only smells of fresh baked bread

great my wife will be happy

I know what you mean...I think it's the people that shop there. :wink:



(Just kidding everyone before you crucify me!)

Anyone know the date that the voucher is valid until? And I guess there's nothing stopping you from buying more papers for more vouchers :wink:

A bit confused here. Is the voucher in the Lidl news, the listed newspapers or both? Also looking at the Lidl flyer there is a half price weekend this week, Saturday 19 the & Sunday 20th. So this weekend would be a great time to use it!<3

.Thank you. I thought it was either or.

I have the Lidl News December 2nd edition and there's no voucher in it. I didn't pick up the first edition, so not sure if it's in that.

made cold because our bosses have given no extra hours to deal with demand!

Just to confirm - there is Lidl News leaflets floating around in store AND on Saturday there's going to be an insert in the paper's mentioned.......have I got that right? (it's been a long week!)

Does anyone know which dates it is valid from/ to... ? Oh and bit of info for those asking about alcohol purchases... I always purchase various alcohol drinks approx £10 worth i.e. Couple of bottles of wine and a few tinnies and have never had a voucher rejected

Shame you can't just use it on booze.

Anyone know if this is in Scotland too?

Thanks

most amazing clothing worn by customers too... that seems to be a regional thing. around Derby some folk just get out of bed and go shopping. In hastings around 7 it's like folk from Shaun of the dead when they get the munchies.

ANYONE??? Does it only allow one alcohol purchase????

Unfortunately yes. :disappointed: Was just making hotphoenix aware.

But you have to work there to get that saving? Most of us are just £10 off £50 yeah?

Also have to agree 1 million percent about Waitrose and Sainsburys, M&S food usually good too, even in summer when their air con is always a pleasure! Maybe we should start a poll? Smelliest stores?

I dont doubt that some stores are fine, but EVERY Lidls I have been in (at least seven or eight) has this odour.
I think this, plus fact I have felt unwell 2 or 3 times after buying and eating stuff from there, has put me off forever.
We do like the pastry though, and some of the frozen offers that pop up now and again are exciting, but they have always sold out on the few times we have ventured in.
For us, Aldis beats Lidls hands down interms of quality, consistency, service, overall price, choice and shopping experience. We are not alone, Aldis did not win supermarket of the year for nothing!
For £10 of if buying booze this time of year, it is a winner though. We hardly drink, so useless to us :smiley:

how strange. I have shopped in both. Lidl fruit and veg is better and doesn't go off as quickly as Aldi in my experience. as for damp cardboard perhaps your nearest store has incontinent customers ? :disappointed::disappointed:

as for cleanest stores I think waitrose with a close runner up of sainsburys.

Think damp cardboard, with a wiff of disinfectant and rotten fruit. That is the best description we can come up with :smiley: haha

Thanks for that, I shall give them a go. The tidier than Aldi sold it lol

I also use all the shops depending on where the deals are - like a proper HUKDer, I have no loyalty whatsoever!
I'm going to lidl this lunchtime, I'll have a sniff - but I don't think it's the shop so much as the customers.....

Use with this

They have great reviews on here

Lucky him. I must day, got some of their pan chocs in the summer in glasgow, very nice, 3 for £1 I think. The store did have that unique Lidls smell though! £10 off if using for booze isnt bad I suppose, so I give it hot for that :smiley:

The only thing his Lidls smells of is freshly baked bread and rolls!

does it limit it to one alcohol purchase?

Nice

Mon the Hoops !!!

Great saving ! Heat from me !! As for the stores smelling - best smells ever, the bakery hits you as soon as you walk through the doors mmmm

You just have too many kids

I don't support Celtic? What drugs are everyone taking this morning?

Says the one from the supporter of the 'great unwashed' team nothing smells worse than Parkhead

does it limit it to one alcohol purchase?

One consolation, Farmfoods easilly the smelliest food retailer we know about!

I actually meant the stores smell! Everyone I have been in doesnt smell good at all, whereas you go into tesco, sainsburys, asdas and aldis and they all smell fresh. I have had bad experiences with a lot of the food bought from Lidl and find that out of all the supermarkets, they are the worst. We use Aldi for 75% of our weekly shop and go to savers, home bargains, b&m, poundland and the co-operative for everything else. We sometimes pick up stuff from Asda and Sainsburys, and Tescos is good for the odd offer, but there isnt one nearby. Not even the 1kg of nutella on offer at Lidls could tempt me in. That better?

ooh - this why I love HDUK - always use the £10 voucher - week's shopping here we go.... BOOM!

Thanks

Ideal. Free range turkey will probably gobble up most of the fifty.

Thanks OP!

Nice one

Any idea when the voucher is valid for ? Thanks OP by the way

Sweet wonder if u still get staff discount too which atm is 20pcent

Nice. Was hoping that aldi would do one like last year but suppose i could get a tenner off again in lidl. cheers

Beat me to it :smiley: was just about to check what papers it was in

good find op, heat added

Brilliant, christmas groceries sorted :smiley: thank you
