Read the ingredients list. Nothings better than fresh veg. Processed is always a different thing.

I have no regrets taking them, and I'm genuinely thankful for anything Lidl gives me for free.

Just saying that I thought it could be something I could start buying several packs a week, but I won't. And I never knew vegs could be so unhealthy

Its mad that frozen veg can actually be unhealthy with the addition of oils. You'd think they'd just put the stuff in the bag and leave it up to the consumer if they want to add salt or fats to it.

I have mixed feelings about these vegs. When I saw them on the scratch card I took them without a second thought, they seemed just what I needed.

Positives:

They're a super convenient way to eat more vegs (and I need that), because it's a well chosen mix, and they are already mixed with spices and oil.

They're really tasty, for the same reason.

Negatives:

The pack recommends to add oil to the pan. Don't! The moment I added them to the pan, I realised that they've been overly generous with oil. Eating them, the texture is also quite a bit oily.

In fact, looking at the nutri-scrore, a serving contains 49% of the RI of saturated fats, 41% of salt, 24% of fats. I was shocked. It's worse than most unhealthy desserts.

If I could find the exact same thing, but with half the oil, and healthier kinds of oil, that'd be fantastic. (I don't care so much about salt)

Which frozen veg is this?
I used to eat frozen veg quite regularly but never thought of checking the ingredients as I never thought of this.

Thanks. I guess at least it says 'seasoned' on the packet. I've never bought seasoned frozen veg before, just broccoli and the likes.

Frozen Veg or Swiss Roll on scratchcard (again, third time in a week)

Fat doesn't need to mean unhealthy.

Same.
No room in freezer for Veg and already have 2 Swiss Rolls and do not want another one.

Pity Lidl don't do, 1 long life item and 1 short life/frozen/fresh item every time so people could put them in the charity trolley at the checkouts if they don't want them.

thesandeman

What are the charity trolleys ye speak of? Neither my Lidl or Aldi seem to have them.
Before Covid there used to be the occasional collection at the door alright but nothing recently.
Would be handy for some of the freebies I don't need.

alanbk

Anyone find that some of the freebies are never available. Last week the bagels were never on the shelf. Same with the cheese a few weeks back. I know it’s free but hey !!

They pop up occasionally at my local one. They are by the tills and hard to miss.

Ah! Must be an individual thing so. I thought it was a thing organised by Lidl.

Also, I used the free mustard Yesterday. It wasn’t as good as Coleman’s. It wasn’t as spicy.

I was in my local branch yesterday morning after the school run and they had no bagels. Not the first time either that they didn't have the freebie. You'd think they would so early in the day

yeah Ive been bang out of luck recently, havent been able to get the freebies on the last 3 trips. I found the price sticker for the bagels but there was only burger buns in their place. Dog food was of no use to me

Last week, it was tortilla chips or 1 litre drink in one card and dog Chubb or bagels on the other.

This week it was chocolate wafer bars or orange juice on one card and Swiss roll or frozen seasoned mixed veg on another card.

gussieg

how about swiss roll and stir fry for dinner -yum?

Word of warning to save people the hassle.
The watermelon on the app say 49 cent per piece but mine scanned at over a fiver, and I picked a small one . I had an idea in advance it was an error but expected it to to scan at 49cent per kilo but it didn't even do that. I left it behind at that price

BlondeBomb

Anyone know if the hot chocolate is nice?

I'd say you'd have a better chance of catching a duck in the wild than getting your hands on any of todays ones the way stock levels have been lately.
