LIDL Super Weekend Savers

Nollog

I find in my local lidl they restock at around 2 or 3 on Saturday.
Then the rest goes out Sunday morning.

I wouldn't go that far. Of the four offers, the goujons would be the most popular.

Order more of that so

Surely the idea of business is to sell the most amount of items

I work in retail, ( not for Lidl) and believe me that the suppliers are often struggling to meet the demand for popular product.

We send huge orders every day and receive 50-60% of what we ordered. Sometimes we receive nothing at all.

You have to look at it from other angle, they are not going to open another plant or hire dozens of people just because their product is on special offer.

This is all planned in advance, but there isn't a plot to get you in the door with an offer that doesn't exist.

Those goujons are nothing special anyway, I would rather have a real chicken breast anyway Half of it has more chicken than a pack of those.

Deansgrange had a shelf full of goujons about 13:00 today. Large numbers of cakes and crisps too. Didn't see (or look for) the beans.

Herself just rang from lidl, Goujons gone.

Yep, spot on. I've got there at 11am for offers on a few occasions and sold out already.
The nappies one was crazy, I arrived at 9.45 and they'd sold out. How can you be sold out of a "weekend offer" at 9.45am on a saturday morning?

Surely there should be a "3 items per customer thingy for sales to stop one smart-arse filling their trolley with the sale item and leaving none for the other customers?
If there is such a system then it is NOT enforced.

And you're quite right about it annoying customers. Between that and them not stocking passata anymore (I use tonnes of the stuff), I switched back to Aldi.

Lidl for bread alright but after that let them off.

Just for people complaining about then being sold out I was in lidl at 8.15 this morning and the gougons were all gone!! The place was rammed though but in the staffs defense they were enforcing the 5 item limit so fortunately managed to get some but I'd say they had put at least 150 packs out (if not more), if they put out 3 times the amount I'd be surprised if they lasted til half past.

People are justified in being annoyed but theyd needed to have all their fridges full of the bloody things to satisfy demand and even if they did I'd be surprised if they lasted til 2 on Saturday afternoon.

The crisps were walking out the door too!

Heaps of Goujons at my local Lidl this evening,

Customers buying them in vast numbers or a vast number of customers buying them.

clairek6

Never had a problem getting any super weekend stuff in my local, and go in at various times each week

Yep, we only last week ran out of the half price nappies we bought.

jeffk

The way its going, they will have to do a ticket system and leave the stock in the store like they do with some warehouse sales

Certain items like tea bags, sugar, goujans etc sold out before 9 on a Saturday smacks or commercial buying to use that day in cafe etc

No its the opposite you put up these offers and they dont give a fcuk if they cant meet demand once you get people in the door-that is the concept here-and you say they go elsewhere sure itll be the same there

I hate when people call it ham when it's clearly bacon they were selling - nothing to do with being in America :

Both are from a pig of course but...

"Bacon is meat taken from the back, loin or belly of the pig. Bacon is either dry cured in cold air or by smoking or packed with large amounts of salt, or wet cured when it is immersed in liquid brine.

Ham is meat cut from the thigh or rump of the pig. Ham can be cooked and served fresh or wet or dry cured usually with less salt and more sugar."
