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

Organic cider vinegar but not the apple cider vinegar (I'd have been happy with either).

I don't often go to Lidl, as there isn't one near me, but I picked up a few things recently (all sweet / snack stuff to store away) 

Lidl Alpen Fest Style Classic Grissini Pretzels - Oh, these were amazing, but I only managed to grab one box on reduction. Proper tooth-breakingly crunchy, though. I hope these come around again. 

Italian-range items:
Amaretti biscuits - £1,79
Cherries in syrup (imagine these would be amazing with some Cornish ice cream) - £2.89
Praline chocolates - £3.49
Novellini milk and honey biscuits - £2.29
Orecchiete pasta (I love this type of pasta, but don't often see it sold anywhere, so grabbed a few bags) - £1.49
Chopped chilli in olive oil (amazing in pasta sauce or on pizza) -  £1.79

I also grabbed some Chinese style Pineapple Fritters from the frozen section (oven bake) for £2.99. Bonus.

I saw they had a great range of Italian ice creams, but couldn't grab any, as I was worried about it defrosting on journey home. MSE'ers, please report if it's any good

Lidl has currently got some very tempting biscuits in its Italian week.

Can anyone tell me - is the apple cider vinegar included in the £100 spend / condiment treat?

The app will tell you. If you click on the coupon, then scroll down, it should say "item number". Click on that and a list of the available products is shown, along with the item number and description. Some of the descriptions are a bit obscure, I usually check the item number against the shelf labels when I'm not certain.

I thought I'd ask in anticipation, I'm still £4 away from target.

Somone mentioned it was a couple of pages back.

I got white vinegar.  I think the thing is that it has to be a Batts product rather than a deluxe or name brand.  But as already mentioned check it against the app before you get to the till.

I got some free fun size pears on my Lidl app today they weren’t much fun at all rock hard and 100% tasteless went straight in the bin.

Pears can be tricky.

I got a large Avocado and a Mango free on my app and they were both very nice.   I have some mini bananas or mini easy-peelers to pick up - will probably get them tomorrow.

The Eridanous Greek-style cheese cubes in olive oil (a Greek week promotion) is delicious and so versatile. Will definitely buy again!

I saved up my Lidl fruity spins until today - ended up with 8 items, saving £9.30. I am happy with that.

The Aldi Magnum equivalent ice creams (Giannis) are £1.69 for 4. They are really nice and I feel they are better than the Iceland Majestic which has jumped from £1 to £2 in the last 12 months.

We tried the white chocolate coated mango and coconut ones of those at the weekend and Oh My Goodness....heavenly! 

Can anyone give me a cheat-sheet of the best fruit item to pick up using the coupon plus voucher please?
