They will be even cheaper next week when lidl reduce the vat early to 21%

Eggs are exempt from VAT

Is it likely that the Super Weekend deals are finished, with the App replacing it?
I can see why they might do this - the App is more focussed and is getting us idiots hooked on going in more than once a week!
Also it restricts us to one item per offer - whereas I used to like stocking up to the max on stuff I use all the time like dog food , kitchen roll etc.

On the other hand there will be a lot (over 50%??) who are too technophobic to use the app. Though I must say I've been surprised at how many old farts even older than I am who are looking at their phones and muttering about where to find the one or two items that are not on the special shelf....

I dont think ill miss the weekend offers.

Having to be in Lidl on a Saturday at 8am in case a coffee shop etc was ready with a few members of staff to clean out a deal

Or go in and say the half price pizza with a week to get it and plenty on the shelf, plus limited to one per customer/app

anoyone else find the donut peaches to be a game of russian roulette? They are outrageous when good, but so often disappoint. You keep buying them though because you know how good they can be!

Taste beautiful, or like a turnip....
Lifes too short.....

Just to note that Multi seed loaf which has been absent for a couple of months is back in the stores today.

Are these baked in store and are they tasty?

Cheap Merlot is back, hurrah!

Is it nice?
I'm in the market for a few bottles of red!

hopefully the halfprice offers come back as the app just isn't near as good with only one offer per person

Prefer the loyalty app myself, better offers and I can go in early doors and avoid the weekend queueing in the rain

Me too

I didn't buy the weekend offers every week but there was something I'd go for at least every 3 weeks. Lots of app offers are the same products but you just get 1.

Course I'm also sore because I was in a lidl today with no reception so I used my card screenshot. The blueberries offer had changed to add pink ladies (AGAIN :rolleyes:) so it deactivated and I discovered later I got charged the full 5.39 instead of 2.69 :mad:

Comfort was 2.29 in Dunnes this week and 20% off with the voucher.

But you can't stock up/bulk buy.

If you want to stock up on something just use friends or families (who don't want/don't use the app) cards. I stocked up last week

The ones where you had no guarantee and had to be in lidl at 755 on a Saturday morning and hope the stock was even in that branch to begin with

Generally speaking, it was only around Xmas, maybe Easter, that my local Lidl had issues with stock. The offers with tinfoil, toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, olive oil, rapeseed oil and coffee are great - I bulk buy all of those and they last ages.
