    Sorry is someone else has mentioned this, but I haven't had a scratch and win in months, heard it's in digital receipts, can't find it there? Any ideas?!

    OOC have you scanned the app even when you don't have any of the specials to buy?

    No, some of the Colgate whitening toothpastes are no good.


    The one in the offer is good. Was €1.50 in March, now 50% by €6.59.

    Whats no good about them? Like Im not expecting it to make your teeth brilliant white or anything but would have thought toothpaste is toothpaste at the end of the day regardless of the marketing spiel on the package. They're all based on the same main ingredient sodium bicarbonate which is basically baking soda. Some people use baking soda as a teeth whitener as its a lot cheaper and more abrasive than anything marketed by the main toothpaste manufacturers.

    Think those ones with the red packaging have bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide in them afaik, the regular Colgate ones wouldn't

    I followed your advice, did the lotto.... When you get an email saying there's news about your ticket.. you do start thinking "what if" I won €9 (after an outlay of €6)

    I think it was applicable only for the 400g strawberries or 120g blueberries.

    Instead of moaning here to lifeline, get in the app and tell Lidl customer services who will then investigate and give you a fiver off your next shop

    There's a girl who works in arklow and a couple of times she saved us asking "did you want to use a voucher on these biscuits? Try scanning again and make sure it's activated" I think it deserves a mention as she has noticed it happening twice now!

    same happened to me.
    Strawberries 400gm are priced @ 3.39 (or 3.29) and in the app it shows 3.99 for offer to be applied.
    hence my guess is the reason why offer didnt got applied on it. :(

    Ya the Strawberries were cat.
    3-4 mouldy after a day.

    Handy trick is after buying, slice them up and put them in an air tight box.

    I soak the strawberries in a light vinegar:water solution ( 1:10) for 5minutes and rinse as soon as I get home. Never had issues with mould

    Silly question but just curious, how does the app get your receipt? I notice even if you scan it at the start it will have all your items recorded so Im guessing your purchases are sent to a cloud based server and then to your phone app when you connect to wifi again?

    The till sends your receipt to the cloud, and links it to your account using your app's barcode. Then your app downloads it from the cloud.

    Yes, but that's really what every loyalty card scheme have been doing for decades.

    What's new with Lidl's app isn't the data analysis, it's only that your account barcode is shown on your phone rather than printed on a plastic card, and that your app gets that digital receipt, and the coupons are digital rather than a paper booklet.

    that's the problem with any fruit or veg in Lidl - no date guide (deliberately) on anything.

    There's no best before dates but I think it's the packing date that's on it. 0503 is the fifth day of the third week or the third day of the fifth week of the year. Can't remember which way it is. I always find the furthest one away.

    wouldn't the furthest one away be the oldest?

    you mean the most recent one (most recent packing date)?

    Ye you're right. I meant furthest away from the start of the year but the most recent makes more sense.

    It's nothing Tesco haven't been doing for decades tbh. Dunnhumby is a global customer data science company helping retailers... it was founded in 1989 and it's parent company is... Tesco.

    They've been selling pet insurance to people buying dog food before the idea of a smartphone was ever imagined.

    The only surprise is that it has taken the German retailers so long to enter the "loyalty" game.

    in fairness - your original way of phrasing it probably does make most sense, in that sense - looking for the highest week number (+day number after that if week number the same)

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=112728574&postcount=1770

    Tesco, Dunnes, Supervalu et al do this all the time. Mam noticed it years ago - price gets jacked up two or three weeks before it's 'reduced' or 'special offered'. In particular, Vaseline handcream 400ml is always €4 in Homesaver, yet the supermarkets (in cartel fashion) have it at €8 'down to' €4

    It is what it's.
