The Lidl closest to me has finally relented and installed self-service checkouts. In a nod to shoplifters it has also installed electronic gates that can only be opened by scanning the receipt - unlike the other three Southend branches, which seem able to trust its customers. Till queues at this branch have always been a problem so I am now encouraged to use it more.

Both the Lidls I use have had this in for a few months. Bit annoying if you forget and drop your receipt in with your shopping only to have to dig it out to get through the exit gate.

Lidl is repeating its fruity spin to win 22nd May - 4th June 2025. Miles better than potato-based frozen UPF!

My lidl Plus gave me a free Batts sauce last week I got the Batts Salad  cream and it's very good In deed very close to Heinz maybe not quite as sweet but I really like it.

Hi folks, 
Apologies if this has already been covered (and I'd be surprised if it hasn't), but I tried to search for an answer and came up blank. So, I've a free Batts sauce/spice/condiment voucher sat in my Lidl plus app. I just wondered if anyone has worked out what the best value (most expensive) items are obtainable with this voucher?
Cheers

Went in today and had a wee scout. I walked out with a free bottle of organic apple cider that should have been £2.09. Is there anything of higher value?
