article as seen in today's copy of Metro newspaper (Manchesters edition page 18). Whole lobster reduced from £4.99 to £2.99 as part of their spring promotion. "350g Canadian seafood is caught off New Brunswick and cooked and frozen locally before being shipped to the UK." (Info taken from the article).
To save confusion Lidl have confirmed no voucher is needed for this price.. see tweet via https://twitter.com/LidlUK/status/707182335402373121

I hear cheap supermarkets are doing a ten bird roast now, starts with an ostrich, through yo swans and seagulls and ends with a hummingbird centre. tasty.
It is a great deal - without the voucher requirement (as that's already been posted anyway) and it's unfortunate that Lidl misled you on the voucher issue so thanks for trying :wink:

The current Lidl Surprises Spring Magazine was included in some of the National newspaper's Saturday supplement this weekend
Unfortunately, they had excluded the 1 x 40% off Deluxe Whole Lobster and 1 x 50% off Deluxe Four Bird Roast vouchers
leaving just the 1 x 30% off Favorina White Chocolate Easter Lamb and 1 x 30% off Favorina Milk Chocolate Hen with Eggs vouchers
I wonder why :smirk:
So good luck with getting this deal now as - it no longer exists

Worth trying once to see what they taste like but there's very little meat on these.

Ah well, the brochures are free, so it still works out at £2.99 in the end.
Sorry...not sure why they had tweeted no voucher needed in that case :disappointed:

This is how we deplete the oceans of its riches without a care of the consequences never having learned from the errors of our dumb past when we drove certain species to extinction

These are MSC certified which is unusual, but welcome, for lobster from a supermarket. :smiley:

Got two at Christmas - they are not big once you have defrosted them- but I did pay 9.99. Not a lot of meat and a bit of a faff. The half price 4 bird roast is good value.

I hope there's some left for me later. You know what people are like though.

Not too sure... I only posted what information I can see from the article in the Metro newspaper.
Yes I've got one. It's got a 50% off 4 bird roasts too making them a right bargain!

what's this got to do with the price of fish?

The Lobster is very small once defrosted, I'm surprised that it's a legal size. Must be different fishing regs in Canada!

Yes, I picked up one of their #LidlSurprises magazines on Sunday. There's coupons for 40% off a whole lobster, 50% off a four bird roast, 30% off a white chocolate Easter Lamb and 30% off a milk chocolate hen with eggs.
