Brilliant find with the L*d! boxes. I found my 1st one on Tuesday. Such good value.Worlds_Worst_Superhero said:NSD 7 today (Thursday)
Did a big weekly shop earlier, but shopping with list meant I only bought what we needed.
Managed to get a couple of the elusive Lidl veg boxes for £1.50 each. Two mangoes, about 10 apricots, 6 peaches, loads of plums, box of chestnut mushrooms, 4 aubergines, 2 leeks, 2 cauliflowers, 9 bananas, 12 Clementines, 4 large oranges, apples, pears, 3 lemons, 2 limes, ginger root, red pepper, 2 lettuces, courgettes, leeks, loads of new potatoes....
All perfectly fresh, and for just £3 😁
Had to freeze some of it and juggle our meal plans for the next few days to make sure it's all used, but what a bargain!Making the debt go down and savings go up
