Tbh I was a Lidl piddled off at Lidl today. The excitement in snagging a pistachio panettone was offset by the app refusing to work at the till, meaning I couldn't activate my coupons.

That sometimes happens to us, usually when we have snagged a few would be bargains. There are a few nice offers though, we did manage to get some free Lidl jaffa cakes yesterday and my wife picked up a couple of the little cocktails, the £3.25 ones in the round containers, which are quite tasty and are 13% proof.

What are Lidl jaffa cakes like ? Are they tiny (Mcvities have shrunk over the years) 

In reviews, people found them better than the originals. All I know is, they are very tasty.

Don't tempt me! I have enough problems resisting sugar as it is.

I have enjoyed Lidl's discount vouchers this month and bought some stollen at 50% yesterday. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't 50% off the Lidl Card price of £3.49 but 50% off the full price of £3.99.

Couple of questions...

Firstly, has anyone seen the stalks of Brussels Sprouts in Aldi this year?

Secondly, do we think there will be the usual vegetable price war this year, and what price do you reckon if it happens?

Thanks for that @Katiehound.
