    It says weekly, but the blurb says two weeks validity
    Good to see staples like rice at half-price

    I'd say the Lidl App is taking custom away from Aldi and they are just trying to find a way to retain them.

    I doubt that tbh have you seen the offers on the Lidl app ? Not great offers every week it’s mostly junk food and the scratch card prices are ranging from rich tea biscuits to sardines, while I use it the odd time aldi would still be better IMO
    Prices across the board are creeping up and it’s good to see price reductions

    100% agreed, only went Lidl with the €5 voucher, and back a few times after that, the rest all for Aldi:D

    The Lidl app wont work for everyone but from what Im seeing it is pretty popular. Everytime Im in Lidl now Im seeing people inside the door staring into their phone activating the offers and using it at the tills. There has been a fair bit of junk food but at the same time it does have staples for half price, since it began I havent paid full price for rubbish bags or olive oil. I think its working well for Lidl and Aldi are reacting with this new Grocery Six.

    I actually bought this coconut toilet roll few weeks ago not realising that it is scented. Its actually handy in that it gives the bathroom a nice coconut smell. Its very exotic altogether so now Im thinking of covering the bathroom floor with sand from the beach to complete the scene pacman.gif

    I really don't like it - the other stuff (choceur I think?) is much nicer, and not much more expensive - plus you can usually get some dairymilk stuff pretty cheap too

    Got them earlier, it is yuck. :mad:
    They have caramel buttons and white chocolate buttons in the offer too.

    Person ahead of me had 12 bags of Rice, even though the terms say it is 'limited to two units per product per customer'

    Their brown rice used to cook in ~18 minutes but its alot harder now and takes 25-26.
    I've noticed this with Lidls rice too and Tesco .
    Very strange how they all are much harder.

    (Yeah the pictures not great, sent to herself, then said better put on boards and cropped as best I could)

    It's funny a lot of people don't know about these offers. I told some woman when I seen her getting toilet roll, also showed her washing up liquid as across from it

    Doesn't help when they have tiny signage for the deal

    Also confusing that the money comes off at the bottom and not after the item itself

    I noticed from the picture posted in the OP and the one on the leaflet online they just took out the "weekly" from the little blurb at the bottom, so looks like the "weekly" was just a mistake in the first print.

    Maybe the specials are advertised better in some stores but in ours it's on the window at the checkout so I only noticed the items when I was in checkout queue and no way was I going back. And I would have purchased a couple of washing up liquids last week if I'd known.

    Its no harm that these specials have been stopped.
    The amount of people who just come in for these items every Sunday and Thursday and crawl around the store rooting for stuff is ridiculous.
    Most of them only buy a few items.
    Its non essential shopping.

    What a load of rubbish, like they've always sold random stuff in the middle aisles. I saw a picture on Twitter yesterday of some Tesco where the babys clothes section was sealed off yet you could buy all the alcohol you wanted. Its a joke at this stage, the government have lost the run of themselves.

    Anyway I got the Cassidys cheese and onion crisps on the current offer. Im not a fan, all these 'gourmet' crisps seem to have a really crunchy texture that are hard to bite, they are pretty much like corn nachos. I much prefer crisps to have the same texture as King or Tayto.
