Lidl loyalty card trial in Scotland

Happygreen

will use a calculator next time as I could have done twice £ 35 by adding booze made the mistake taking DD2 shopping and ended up with stuff she wanted rather than what I need ...

HappyGreen done the same last weekend, though my excuse except from the kids was flu. My OH did say did you get full discount, I just did say yes its a different offer..though was angry at myself over the £6.00. Calculator today ☺.

I find it a little struggle to spend £35 in Lidl unless I buy alcohol. My cupboards are now well stocked with coffee and booze.

The effect of these offers is I'm almost exclusively shopping in Lidl now. I used to shop around a bit.

I can find substitutes for food I used to buy elsewhere. Except for cat food.
I shop at Lidl, my cats shop at the posh online shops. Lol.

Anyway, I'm saving more than the £7 off £35 because I'm no longer going shopping at the Sainsbury.

Off topic I guess, but I'm also pleased to shop at Lidl as they are supporting the Living Wage for their staff.

all offers so far have been 20% off, it's just the total figure that has changed

I was led a bum steer by the guy in my shop, he was looking at the wrong sheet, next offer is £8 off a £40 spend.

Sorry about that folks

This loyalty card scheme has been weird. Without this forum or asking till staff, I'd be unable to find out the details of the offer each week - nothing on their website or in leaflets, as far as I have seen!

In our store there are large posters announcing the current week's offer by the tills.
I obviously read the wrong paper as I've never seen anything in ours and on-line didn't find any info either...
so many thanks to all posters on this thread about the oncoming deals! :T

Typical split testing of offers by the looks of it, see which price point is the more attractive.

Can't blame Lidl for following the trend started by other supermarkets. At the end of the day loyalty cards is a way of rewarding clients for their loyalty and in return they will understand you better and sell you more too...

Any idea when we are expecting to find out if the trial is successful and be extended to other parts of the UK?

It is not a loyalty card, it is just replacing paper coupons.

Next offer is a free 9 pack Florays toilet rolls with a £20 spend so in effect it is not a 20% saving as they are normally about £2.69

15 October for a week the offer is a 3L bottle of detergent for a £20 spend.
