Lidl
Got two packs of 10 Deluxe Pork Sausages for 20p a pack! Gave a pack to my parents.

Funny how there's little of Lidl's Snaktastic crisps when Walkers have issues. Do you think that Walkers make Lidl's crisps?

I was incorrectly charged on two different items at Lidl the other day, where they've increased the price but not changed the shelf label. Both over 7% increase. I quite often see some mistakes with shelf labelling at my local store, but now I'm even more vigilant what with all these price increases.

I think the health "benefits" of kefir over bog standard yoghurt are overstated and marginal. 

Then why are you paying a premium for it?  

It was on offer - £1 instead of £1.50 - which made me take a punt, one that did not pay off. But at least I have affirmation that sticking to Lidl's yoghurt is the right thing to do! There is nothing that recommends the Onken product to me.

Lidl’s oregano has gone to 17g. Were some posts about the half filled jars earlier in the thread.

@S_uk = you're not the only one. 

Not me but when I was queued waiting to pay the guy in front of me was charged £48 (yes £2 shorty of £50!!) for a bag of sprouts!  That's the way it had been loaded into their system apparently but no one else seemed to have noticed.  The only way I can think that possible is if it was uploaded just before he got to the till or no one else at all had bought any sprouts since they arrived.  And I assume they were meant to be 48p instead.

I also assume that everyone here is money conscious enough that they would never let something like that slip through!!!

They'd have to pay me £48 - at least - to eat sprouts! 🤢

Well I'd say you're mighty cheap!  Only reason I'd buy them is to use as golf balls.  And I don't even play golf.
