    I got 10 x large gold blend at £3(normally £5 odd) at LIDL...S0 £30. Minus the newspaper voucher for £5

    Normally could only get four and a half jars for that price.

    Will easily go for me as I do(just me) two large jars a week.

    Annoyed I did not grab more papers now ggrrr!

    There were vouchers in the Daily Express (think I've got the right paper) last week. I think you've missed out on this one now I'm afraid.

    minimee, lidl have done it a few times now, think it was the express georgina yes :)

    Always ignored them before as was not near a LIDL...This time the vouchers were in there for a week, but only got 1 as the thing I will buy from there, are so cheap, I thought i'd struggle to spend £30

    If I'd have sussed the coffee thing, I'm thinking i'd have 50 jars now not 10 lol

    Even though I missed out getting more vouchers...I still may get 40 more lol...I do 2 jars of gold blend large size a week...plus a couple of bags for fresh coffee, plus small jar of arabian. Just me that drinks, but it is constant!

    I am awful I know lol

    Oh...just a thought, I think these are good from LIDL this week, if you use, to bulk buy...

    4 pk branston baked beans £1.19(less than 30p each)

    pampers wipes(sensitive or baby fresh)bogof at £1.74(cheaper than boots own when on offer)

    buxton 1.5l still water 26p(essential here-london tap water is EVIL!)

    100G Prawn crackers 44p

    Technicaly, as you can freeze ham and bacon....twinner smoked bavarian ham 100g @ 79p and medalisk 14 rashers bacon(2x200g) £1.49 are good too :)

    So I shall be watching this thread with interest but I am trying not to buy in bulk.

    As long as you rotate and will use it before expiry it is a great thing. I have x amount for my weekly shop and x for bulk buys of offers that I will genuinely use.

    Done right you save a fortune, my cellar is packed lol. AND I cleared all my stocks before moving lol

    I buy washing tablets or liquitabs, washing up liquid, soap, shower gel, shampoo dishwasher tabs only when on special offer. In the store cupboard I buy tinned goods that I use, red salmon, tomatoes, coffee, teabags etc.

    We could probably last a year on washing and dishwashing but I always buy as much as I can store when it's on offer.
