Got to agree, I used to sing the praises of LIDL five years ago, but their fresh produce simply isn't what it once was. Not to mention the staff in my local have all the charm of a turkish jailer.

you have to look at the label. it will have a two part number on it (aldi do this too) so for example a bag of apples will say 52-04
52 is the week on that year and 04 is on the 4 day of that week, Thursday.

I used to work for lidls and they don't do sell by dates but if u look for a 4 digit number I.e. 5205 means the fresh stuff was pick on the 52nd week of the year and on day 5 so Friday, hope this helps to pick the fresher stuff :wink:

Vegetables from my local Lidl are the best I've had from anywhere other than my father in laws allotment!

Could anyone please confirm if pomelo is still 59p? :innocent:

Thanks op, heat added

I keep throwing away LIDL "fresh" produce.
They don't appear to use "sell by dates.

If I want to buy food to just eat on the day, I can go to a market stall where things are much cheaper.

I agree none of it keeps and most of it doesn't even look fresh in store. I get mine either from the local market when I can or Asda which keeps for longer.
