    Lidl seem to have lost the plot lately. The weekend half price deals have been rubbish. Called in my local Lidl today ( first time in weeks ) and it was empty, used to be very busy on Saturdays.
    A watched pot always boils. :j

    I thought the 200g of cheese for 49p and 5kg of onions for 99p was a pretty good deal this weekend. :)

    The weekend offers have not been as good this year. I wish Aldi would run a similar offer to compete.
    My local Lidl was very, very busy on Saturday - 3 tills on and queues at all of them.

    The next time they do chicken breasts on half-price I'll have to double up.

    Agree Karlie, can't grow onions for that price and cheese at £2.45kg gotta be good.
    Though never see the point in buying bones, as in ribs and chicken legs. And what does 'spare' mean!!!
  • Onions at 99p for 5kgs were a cracking price. Cheapest I've seen since getting 5kgs for 1 euro in Auchan in France!

    Love the fact that they were sliced too. Makes it so much easier than grated or a block of cheese when making sandwiches, toasties etc. :D

    The cheese was such a good deal that I got 2.6kg worth. :o:D:o

    Cheese 'n' onion sandwiches here I come! :rotfl:

    Another reason I went was because they were giving away free advent calendars over the weekend. Made the trip that extra bit worthwhile. :)

    Usually the price is cheaper per kilo than the meat without bones. It depends if the amount of meat is worth it.
    However you can use the bones to make a stock to be used as the basis for a gravy (the powders are often not too nice) or soups or use in marinading meat before cooking.
    We even have a butchers here which sells meat-free bones - cattle leg bones at £1 each for example.
