LIDL trolley dodge

mistythyme

Thanks for this! We hae a new lidls near us and the trolleys are a nightmare to get the £1 coin back out of - am going to try using a penny to see if it works - save me stressing I wont get my £1 back

I've been using pennies in these for ages!

Corned Beef Key does the job too - bend it at the end and slide it in with the tray. Thats how we do it at work anyway!

Having paid £1 for the Lidl's trolley I always take them home.

I have a collection of 14 in the garden, I am thinking of using them a mobile hanging baskets this year.

Anyone know where I can get a cheap bulk purchase of moss to line the trolleys with, Garden Centres are too expensive.

I agree Nesima - I always throw one in the back of the van and take it home. They make great cages for the rabbits if you turn them upside down.

Anyone for organic rabbit stew ?

Nesima

As the owner of a House Rabbit named Skippy (more like a hare really) I am not too keen on the 'organic rabbit strew' !

If you want a non-barking fluffy friend to live in the house get a rabbit, mine is house trained and provides endless entertainment as it zoom's around the house or lies flat out in relaxed mode.

Rabbits are very social animals, its a great shame many are condemned to a boring life locked in a hutch.

Set big ears free !!

Because I don't have a car and only have one pair of hands I usually just load up the weekly shop into the trolley and push it home!

Then when I get home I throw the trolley off my balcony into the canal !

MSE posting rules prevent me saying more.

If you meant it as a joke then some indication of that would have been worthwhile.

Of course I'd never do this ............................

............................. Ha ha ha..................................






















I ALWAYS make a FULL £1 - minus the cost (0.001p) of the homemade plastic washer (that fit all the trolleys in every supermarket) that I turn out by the hundred in a few minutes.












Wanna buy some ?

OK. Having made time to look at some of your other posts, I now recognise the sardonic nature of your post (the possibility of which I had allowed for in my post) and apologise for the first component of my response.

I guess I've been conditioned by some posts I've seen (and been dismayed by) in which a poster gloats over having used the freely-shared information on these boards to grab the limited supply of an exceptional bargain and then having sold them on Amazon or e-Bay for personal profit in disregard of the site's ethos.

Still no cards - Royal Mail will obviously face an even heftier fine next year for having lost them all.
