I'm usually the first to complain when they mess up but it's literally written there in yellow and blue on the photo you attached with the product clearly highlighted in Lidl Plus blue box, 'ONLY AVAILABLE ON LIDL PLUS'.
They've been doing this for a few weeks now on various meat and veg items. In store the price will usually have 2 prices, the normal price and the 'save more with Lidl Plus' price. They're multi use (marked in the coupon) up to 15 units per coupon and coupon reappears in the app when you use them so there's actually no limit to the amount you can buy.
The cherry tomatoes didn't reappear on my app after I bought them during the week.
While we are at it, the SEL signs have correct price in wee small font and the LidlPlus price in giant big font. I'm looking at you Squeezy Honey
How many cherry tomatoes do you normally go through every week?
Irrespective, how in the name of God can you feel mistreated because the cheapest supermarket in Ireland gave you one of your personal favourite food items at a reduced price but also tried to ensure other customers could also avail of the special offer?
You do know these supermarkets and their suppliers have costs and overheads they need to cover to stay in business yeah?
I only checked tbe leaflet after text convo it wasn’t on display in the store otherwise I wouldn’t have contacted them
Can you point out where I said I felt mistreated please?
New rule on Lidl plus, must spend atleast 10euro to get a scratch and win prize
they would want to be improving the results off the scratch card, the park run stuff is usually better
Womp womp, it was inevitable.
rhink this rule is fair enough but hope the scratchcard have the better items e.g. fizzy water, chocolate , neos
RIP. Lidl are really penny-pinching since their record profits in covid, they must want to keep the profits up on that level for their investors.
I got some cheaper last week in aldi, 75% off and more fresh even yesterday night than the ones on the shop floor in lidl a few days ago when their offer started.
In fairness, I've been scratching my head for the past 3 years wondering why there was no minimum spend, even as low as €5. This was so blatantly open to abuse, I still don't understand what was the logic on Lidl's side.
Foot traffic.
Yeah, but a €5 min spend wouldn't hurt profitable (or at least break-even) foot traffic, it would only deter loss-inducing foot traffic.
I remember, particularly when the freebies were mostly sweets and biscuits, and you could get a new scratch card just by redeeming the freebie, I was seeing bunches of kids on their way back from school getting their free biscuits every day, not buying anything. Totally predictable, costly, and this kind of foot traffic brings nothing to Lidl.
I agree, 1, 2, or 5 euro and up the quality a little bit.
If i was spending a tenner I'd expect a lot better scratchoffs...
They're probably positioning the scratchoffs for erasure in favour of the points system they keep trialing where you spend 50 euro for a donut.
Lidl had to backtrack before, maybe the will again.
I won't be using the app except for Parkrun and it certainly will affect the number of my visits. I switched my main shop to Dunnes already because of the vouchers.
99% of people ended up buying other stuff when they went in. I highly doubt anyone was going in to buy a 20-cent roll for a scratchcard.

I've splashed out on a 20c can of baked beans. On occasion, a 20c can of kidney beans
Got one of those €5 off €25 in my club card app again. You can use it as many times until expiry (set to 31st Dec for mine). Had one before and used it umpteen times. Deffo cheaper overall than Dunnes.
non - transferable tho
I broadly agree, even if I couldn't tell the exact %, but the point is grocers are in a tight profit margin business, so 1% is still significant, and more importantly, why would you allow that, when enforcing a small minimum spend won't make any difference for these 99%?
I think when you say 99%, what you have in mind are the typical shoppers, who have little time to waste, but there's a broader population, including kids on their way back from school, I've seen that a lot, and obviously they're much more likely to take 20 minutes to pop in just to collect a freebie, or buy a pack of biscuits to get another one for free.
Pretty much....many have a lidl nearby and will just drop in for a freebie and a 50c item to get next scratch card !
the 3 off 30 seems to have disappeared recently, well at least for me.
I got a 5 off 30.
Just appeared for me also, valid until Monday 4th December.
There’s people on this thread who would go to multiple stores to pick up a free bar of chocolate worth less than an euro. Even though it was probably costing them more in fuel to drive around
The first scratch card is 30% off bars of chocolate.
Some people don't even drive!
I bet this won’t sell out
Well worth spending €10 for.
This looks like the Nov scratch card pattern - did you have to spend a tenner for the privilege today?
