  • I buy a lot of cucumbers for my guinea pigs and my lidl still has them on very cheap. Salad costs for myself and those pigs are a real problem. I usually buy at lidl as it's so much cheaper, but can't buy the lettuce as it's always full of bugs, really full

    Their last cucumber crop finishes in October, don't believe everything you read in a newspaper, or online.

    Their last crop of the year finishes in October, but their first crop of the next year starts in late Feb.

    I remember a few years ago when cucumbers were well over £1 so the prices above seem cheap to me. In the summer here local growers sell them at the garden gate for 10p each.
