wrong thread
This week’s code is PARKRUN457 and will allow you a choice between a loose clementine or funsize easypeelers from Lidl to help fuel you for, or recover from, your weekly parkrun.
I was getting worried for a while. I thought my running days were over 😄.
I posted here a few days ago that I haven't gotten a scratch card in maybe 6 months. Then all of a sudden I got 2 in as many days. Don't get too excited though. I got this one
And this one.
They may as well have stayed away.
Lidl have gotten stingier and stingier. All the while increasing their prices on a tonne of products. They used to sell their waste not products with stii from 20¢, 40¢, 80¢, €1 and €2, iirc and they would have a couple of days to go on expiration.
Now it's on the day of expiration, and they've gotten more miserable, 20% discount the day before(down from 30%) to 40% on the day of expirary(down from 50%).
Aldi are almost just as bad. They used to have 75% discount the day before expiration. Now it's 30% the day before, and just 50% discount on the day of expiration, and that only happens at around 8-8:30PM.
It's something I've meant to comment on before. Very often you can have the same products discounted at 30% discount, but they'd be a day apart on dates. Why would anyone want to buy the product expiring sooner?
The products with the two 30% off stickers expire on the day, while the single sicker items has a day to go.
Cocoa 12 month has been up and down
They could do with more staff too, both here in Letterkenny are constantly packed to the gills with customers and very few staff.
They must have very greedy shareholders.
Lidl butter gone up again, now 3.59 from 3.39. It was 2.99 only in August.
What?
They, along with others, made a big song and dance about it across all media when they “reduced” it from 3.29 to 2.99 (from original pre covid price of 2.19) and not a word said when it went back up to 3.29, then 3.39, now it’s 3.59 🤨
means they’ll all be at the increase so
Changed in the app no need to activate every treat anymore just use the app and receive the discount of weekly offers.
The app is updated, looks weird. Only need to activate the "for you" ones now.
M&S updated thier sparks looks a bit too during the week.
The likes of Lidl , Aldi operate a 'discounter supermarket' business model , and some of us are OK with that : shelfs are filled only in the morning , no useless staff wandering around the shop aisles, skimpy packing area at the til , no useless weather/nonsense chitchat at the till with staff or 'helper' for the bags.
Giving the choice to activate certain discounts on the app was a good way to find out what you're interested in ( since the average shopper won't activate the other discounts ) - this created hassle at the tils, and now it's enabled by default .
Prices have increased steadily , and the 20-50% off helped to mask some of the increases .
The reduction on the short dated items , from 50% to 40% it's in line with the campaign ethos : Waste NOT! - it just applies in company's favour ( don't waste profit margins) and less for the customer
Oct/November it's the right time to increase the prices, to justify 20-30% off for the December campaigns
the more you'll know your customer, the less you'll give what he wants for free ( shopper is willing to pay for it's favorite items ) - ie. if you give the shopper 30% off cereals or frozen spicy meats and the shopper doesn't even 'activate' the offer, then you can safely give 2x 30% off in a row, followed by a pastry - enough to bring the shopper in store but not push him/her away for good
At an extended lunch break, someone in work kept praising the fruits in the 'main' supermarkets - Dnes and SV - how good they are and the freshness of some berries from a 'local producer'
I've asked if they read the small print at the back of the pack, to see if berries are produced and not packed in Ireland - conversation was cut short, and the main idea was that it's well worth to pay the extra money just to buy ( same products) from the fancy shops, since 'they're better quality overall'
I will take 3 of those, great bargain.
I thought with not scanning in and copying other places they'd go down the multi use.
Only some things are and no rhyme or reason as to where they are in the app.
You can see the amount in tiny writing, be better if had multi use sign beside product
Must just be Lidl, checked Aldi, Dunnes, Tesco and supervalu now and all still €3.39
Could change very soon though
This is a case of be careful for what you wish for - now when shopping you have to jump between two separate lists to check what you can get the discount on.
When one increases they all seem to follow with dairy. Same happened with milk in the last couple of weeks - 10cent added to a litre.
Anyone know how the wallet works with this new Lidl Pay thing ? I added my card but what’s the actual process at the till? Scan QR code and that’s it ?
so how it works with parkrun now? Must have all others deactivated and buy just parkrun item to get it free, is it?
you need to redeem code and activate in treats page same as before
after you do the parkrun, of course
but what happens if it clashes with a Lidl offer like it has been for months now
So how do we deactivate the easy peelers on offers at 49c when they're free in the park run offer? I can't see any way of deactivating the offer to get the free treat?
I am PLEASED to report that the Park Run offer works, even if the same item is on the 'automatic' treat line-up now
This morning I purchased two lots of easy-peelers. Normal Price 99c, Lidl Plus price 49c. I paid 49c for one pack, and got the other pack for free.
I'm so sorry, Lidl, I should never have doubted you!
(Though if you could throw in a few more free pastry scratchies, I'd love you even more).
Which lot was free? The first or the second transaction ?
I bought them both at the same time. The digital receipt says:
Funsize Easypeelers
2 x 0.99
Lidl Plus Coupon -0.99
Lidl Plus Offers -0.50
that answers my question then 😉
Perhaps it's just me but since the recent change. I have way less offers. There's about 4 offers available in the app right now, including the one I got yesterday for spending over €10.
Complain to customer services like before.
The fruit in Lidl Is rubbish though, Dunnes is much better. Although how anyone could think any of it could be locally produced in Ireland in late October is beyond me.
