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

Just to let you know, the chocolate chip pannetone are £1.35 but as Brie said, there was no ticket in her store.

Deep filled mince pies in Aldi reduced to 55 pence (1/2 price) - well in date (Jan 10th)  ....over order?

Found a jar of Brussels pate with cranberry. It seems to be the very popular flavour, or maybe there is only one in a mixed case?

I think these one's are the ones where you can win a year's supply of food amongst other things.

Sadly these are bog standard boxes- no specially flashed ones. I would have been entering!!

It was a good read, but interestingly there seems to be a proliferation of the chocolate chip and flavoured ones. Give me dried fruit and candied peel any day!

I was in Lidl this morning and none of the manned checkout opened at 10:00 I had to go through the self service checkouts. I put my shopping through but when it came time to pay it wouldn't accept my credit card even though I have plenty of credit left on it. I put in my bank card and it was the same so I left the store with my shopping and no one tried to stop me, when I got home and looked on the credit card app it had gone through so I don't know what it was but they've taken the payment, I just hope it hasn't gone through twice once on the credit card and on my bank debit card.

If it does you could go back to Lidl to get them to sort it for you.  Otherwise it's a query to the bank to say it's a duplicated payment.

The last time I was overcharged in Lidl (or at least charged more than the price on the shelf label) the assistant LOUDLY sighed and almost looked like he was rolling his eyes when I mentioned it. I was actually quite shocked how rude it came across. Perhaps he was just exasperated by how many times it may have been happening in that store and I'm guessing some ongoing store/staffing issues, but nevertheless I was taken aback by his response and his lack of apology, especially as I had been very polite to him.

I was in Lidl on Saturday the till operator scanned everything then his till roll bunched up and jammed the machine he said quite loudly for f*ck sake.

It doesn't sound like Lidl always keeps a happy crew on the shop floor!

Aldi doesn't seem to do grumpy or miserable.

Aldi also seems to always have more staff on the floor than Lidl in my experience...
