LIDL plus app

Patsy167

Credit where its due to LIDL, I've only been using the App for the past few weeks and I've made a noticeable saving on my grocery bill each time. Plenty great offers on every day items like eggs, potatoes, washing detergent. With all of the talk of price pressures on families, I feel like LIDL are doing their bit to help out.

Let's just be honest, they are only doing it to attract business (new and repeat customers) and also to get customer data on buying patterns etc.

It's really not "to help people out", and to be clear I wouldn't expect that of them - they are a business whose goal is to maximise profits (and they have this obligation to their shareholders) not to be a charity.

I returned a retractable dog lead that broke recently using the digital receipt. Only problem was finding it on a months worth of receipts, I knew I bought it in December but the problem in finding it was it didnt say dog lead on the receipt, instead it had a 'brand' name and the words dog lead were cut off. But I was able to identify it as I remembered the price. Other than that the staff member accepted the return without problem.

Muahahaha

Anyone know with the 'treats' is the discount only one per transaction or can you buy 2 or 3 and get the discount on each? Could do with stocking up on some stewing beef for the freezer

Only one per voucher. My partner and I both have the app on our phones so we can stock up if it is an item we would use.

Interesting, did the till operator wait for you to locate the actual receipt in the app or did you search for it before going to the store to return the item?

I had returned something before using the receipt in the app and they scanned the barcode of the receipt in the app just the same as scanning the barcode on a paper receipt to return.

Then on a later occasion, the store manager was on the till one day and just chatting about Lidl plus app while checking out, I got the impression from what he was saying about returns that you wouldn't need to find the receipt in the app, you would just scan your QR code and the system would know you had the receipt. Maybe I picked it up wrong though, I hadn't tried it.

Although if I remember correctly, previously, before Lidl plus, I had asked about returning something when I couldn't find the receipt and they asked if I had paid with cash or card because if it was a card and I could give them the card number they could regenerate the till receipt. I think that was in Lidl, might have been Aldi though...

I don't use the app, but shop there a fair bit. I like the way they treat their employees, which seems better than standard in retail. Also, they just sent 10 million euros in humanitarian assistance for people impacted by the situation in Ukraine. Sure, they want to make money, but Lidl is not the worst, IMO.

Might get the app after all that!

No I searched for the item on my digital receipt before I left the car to go inside- no way was I holding up a Lidl queue just looking for it at the till! I didnt know they could scan QR code to find it and neither did the till operator. Not sure how that would work as Id thrown out the items packaging so there was no barcode to match it against.

i got one before, i dont like it but my taste is probably different to yours anyway. not a fan of strawberry and white chocolate.

Patsy167

Way to go chocolate bar 50% off today only on the app. It's made by Tony's chocolonely - very creamy chocolate. The carmelised almond and sea salt is my pick of the flavours.

It says it's for female users of the app - do they know something I don't? I suppose I could just say that today I identify as female?

Curious how the fairtrade bananas disappear from stock on the same morning that the parkrun code offer is launched.

YES!! I was in early and all the other bananas were there. No fruit shorties all week, they haven't had those tissues in months. None of the eggs on offer were in stock yesterday but I bet they're back today 😒

I like the app etc but you'd wonder sometimes.

I got the tissues last week, got that treat again this week and they are gone so maybe it is just a supply issue but you would wonder.

AlmightyCushion
