Shopping at Lidl might be a new experience for you, bit it is one that can save you a ton of money. Whilst we love getting reductions from major supermarkets, shopping at Lidl permanently makes a great way to save money.
Before you go shopping at Lidl
Before you head out on your new adventure, make sure that you have downloaded the Lidl Plus app onto your phone. This loyalty app is fantastic – spend £100 per calendar month and get £2 off your shopping, or spend £200 per calendar month to get £10 off your shopping, not to mention the extra money off coupons.
Take your own bags with you to save money.
Take a £1 coin to get your trolley.
Don’t expect to buy your usual brands – Lidl sell most items but you might not get access to your usual choice of brands whilst shopping at Lidl.
What to buy whilst shopping at Lidl
If you are planning on shopping at Lidl you might be wondering what is actually worth buying at Lidl then I have a great list for you.
Emma from Mrs Pinch says ‘you have to try the West Country butter from Lidl. You can buy the spreadable version or the block version and both are absolutely delicious‘.
Jennifer from Mighty Mama Bear says “Their Freeway diet cola tastes just like Pepsi Max but is only 40p! We also like their Snaktastic cheese puffs, they taste nicer than Wotsits and only 55p for a big bag.”
Debz from Wannabe Princess loves a ‘cheeky can of cheap cocktail‘.
‘There’s actually a list of things! Their fresh bread & doughnuts are my favourite. They do a chilled apple and raspberry juice which is lovely. I always buy the mini sweet peppers and mini cucumbers for my children’s lunchboxes, they love them!‘ says Rachel from What Rachel Says.
Kaylea from Will Flirt For Food is a big fan of ‘Lidl maple bacon, orzo, pancetta, houmous, tiger bread, yum yums, all the Hortus gin!‘
