Good and Bad Buying at Lidl and Aldi (***Please don't expire***)

  • Other shops have higher prices so can offer free click and collect. I doubt Aldi would make any profit if they didn’t charge £4.50. 
    I believe Sainsbury's charge for click and collect but it is less than the charge they make for home delivery.

    I believe that, just like home delivery, you only pay if your order is below a certain figure.

    I was tempted so have just had a look at the website:

    [QUOTE]Choose your collection store & time slot - all slots are £4.99 with no required minimum spend. Then browse our products & make your selections.[/QUOTE]

    I'm tempted to use this rather than queue in my precious free time or go after work ends at 8pm and end up with slim pickings in the grocery aisle.
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.

    My only concern, never having ordered online, was that items would be near their sell by date, but that wasn’t the case.     I’ll definitely be using Aldi’s click and collect service again

    Today is my friend’s birthday. On Lidl Plus app, she got a coupon for a free cookie in their bakery dept. Got three days to use it.

    How do you know the app will end next month? The scratchcard and £2 off £100 spend expire Feb but no idea if the coupons for such as 15% off frozen fish, 20% off yoghurts will go ahead

    I read it somewhere in the T&Cs but as always, I now can't find it.
