LIDL plus app

How much? Probably more than €1? I think Molly's from Tesco is still 79c although I haven't looked recently as I'm still going through my Easter Eggs.

I got the Lidl dark one for 58p/68c, here it is 84c 😦. It is actually enjoyable. Not sure why I did not notice it before

I always trust Lidl for the frozen chicken, if you look at the raw frozen chicken breast in Lidl its 100% chicken, in Aldi it's

"CHICKEN BREAST FILLET (82%), Water, Dried Glucose Syrup, Acidity Regulators: Sodium Citrates, Sodium Carbonates, Sodium Acetates; Salt, Thickener: Xanthan Gum"

150 cals per 100g compared to Lidl's 112 cals

Is the eco toilet roll for 2 euro on the app this week any good? Seems too cheap and don't want to find out the hard way!

I also have a red hen coupon - are the fancy Gastro chicken goujons (super dear ones 6.50 per bag) nice? Might treat myself at 30% off - seem to be nearly 70% chicken - high for nuggets

I'd guess the stir fry seasoned veg...

if certain foods are missing it’s likely down to the listeria it’s popping up all over the place because if the herbs it was found in

Careful... The discount wasn't getting applied to some of the included products today. Lidl customer care generously compensated me afterwards though!

Had a gawk, yep 750g €1.99, seems to be the best value

Wow, that's some deal! Tesco would charge you a tenner these days (Clubcard price!) for the same deal... It's such a good deal I suspect Lidl will only have very limited stock of certain icecreams, but we'll see...

fish fingers - waffles - solero (98kcal) I think

My lad likes the fish fingers

It personally drives me nuts when customers take up staff time asking about stock of middle aisle stuff. If you find what you're looking for, great... if not, then bad luck, that's all. No big deal, try another Lidl and move on :)

I picked it up this morning and viennetta was the only desert choice and there wasn't many of them left. There were lots of options for the side and main and the chips are 800g. I made a saving of €5 so still a good deal.

No, I just expect people to have realistic expectations when it comes to middle aisle bargains and their availability. Lidl stores are run very efficiently and their staff are fairly hard pressed for time. Taking up the time of 6 of them to enquire about a 20 euro milk frother which clearly was not available (i.e. not or no longer in the middle aisle) ultimately has an indirect impact on many more customers than yourself.

Fair enough, their live stock check later indicated the store should have stock. But Lidl are fundamentally a grocery store, with middle aisle bargains only offered to draw customers in etc. I'd understand where you were coming from if we were talking about a funiture store here and you were asking staff whether something like a €1k couch was in stock, but a milk frother on special in a grocery store???...

Edit: I interpreted your comment that 'There was about 6 staff members in the shop I asked' as meaning you asked about 6 staff members in the store, which may not have been what you meant to imply.

It's an entirely valid request to enquire about a middle aisle special. If you disagree, take it up with LIDL for stocking them if you are so precious about the staff's time or shop somewhere that doesn't offer such specials and want only groceries or avoid the 'Specials' days of Thursday and Monday. LIDL heavily promote the middle aisle specials both in terms of ads and in store space to bring customers into the store who have as much right to take up staff's time as you do.

I think most people have a realistic expectation that when they travel to the store at 8am opening on the day the item first becomes available, that it will be in stock. Lidl are normally good about marking any delays online and this item is not delayed today.

So it's perfectly acceptable for a customer to ask staff if the item is available at 8am on the day of it's release, I've had plenty of times over the years where an item might still be out in the stores or kept behind the tills and would have missed out if I'd not asked a staff member.
