When is the best time to visit Lidl for fresh fruit???

Mics_chick

Due to drastic budget cuts coz we eventually realised that we were massively overspending so our food spend needs to be as low as possible, so I wondered if anyone could help me with this...?

Do they tend to have fresh deliveries everyday? or is it 2/3 times a week?

Is it best to go first thing in the morning too?

Hi there

After listening to my mum grumbling, i wouldnt go on thursday mornings as that is when all the special offers come on and it is chaos (well my mums local one is):eek:
and according to mum they have fruit n veg in every morning..but i wouldnt go to early as it seams that the delivery isnt always first thing....so i would try mid morning-lunch time if you can..much later than that and most of it will be picked over...
Its a good job i listen to my mum:T :T

lidl is best mon-wed mornings to buy your fruit and veg and best avoided at weekends as things are not as good quality as what i have found at the start of the week.

mornings are better as none of there fruit/veg is in any way refrigerated (apart from bagged salads)

i can buy fruit/veg on a mon or tuesday and it still be ok by the weekend, yet if i buy things at the weekend i find its turning by monday latest and a bagt of spuds will be going rottern in the bag if bought on a sunday

Why not ask the staff when their deliveries arrive? Polite questions rarely come amiss.

Penny-Pincher!!

Our local Lidls has deliveries twice a day. If we go, its normally after dropping DD to school at 8am as it is always quiet and alot more choice of fruit/veg/salad.

I go early to ours ,also I always lift the boxes to get the freshest from underneath,going early you can often see it being put out ,so can pick the best ,its saved us a pretty penny lately.

Thank you everyone. I usually avoid Lidl fruit and veg, because it never lasts very long. But maybe it's because I'm going on the wrong day/time.

I have had the same problem. Tried getting Lidl fruit and veg a few times and it has let me down every time. I have always gone in the afternoon after work so about 3-4pm.

I will try it again, went the other day and got a few bits but not fruit and veg. Its up to 70% off at the moment on selected fruit and veg at my nearest store (Manchester).

The obvious answer staring you in the face is sometimes the hardest to see

I don't shop at Lidl at the minute so I wanted a few pointers before I went for the first time coz I didn't want a wasted journey
