LIDL plus app

I was able to avoid the blueberries trap but I fell for the soups one. Only the €1.75 ones are on offer I got €1.99 ones. It really puts me off going into Lidl. I wish our local Dunnes would open as late, I'd never go to Lidl as I find this nonsense irritating and the food subpar. I prefer the €5 off €25 Dunnes vouchers, far more straightforward.

I got the blueberries but there was no product label showing the price for the 125g packet (the free one), only the 250g packet. Both items were placed side-by-side and look identical when viewed on the shelf - it's only when you compare the plastic container sizes where you can see the difference.

I also had the free apple juice from last week and guess what, the product label for the free one was also missing. The only label showing for the apple juice was the 'cloudy' one which was not free.

I believe both labels were removed on purpose as it is too much of a coincidence!

how can you claim to be stung by lidl for picking up the wrong item, it is basic shopping skills to check what you are purchasing

buyer beware and all that

i picked them up and did not get stung

No this is a deliberate policy by Lidl though not sure whether it's central or local management.

We had the ongoing porridge saga where they clear the shelves of the discount porridge and fill them instead with the expense non-discount packs.

And they regularly "mistakenly" stack products under the wrong label.

The best way to deal with this is to always bring the item back the next day you're shopping. Your receipt is on your Lidl+.

I agree

This missing product/wrong product on shelf business is happening way too often on too many offers and in too many stores to be a coincidence.

s.k.w.

I agree, it can't possibly be because the staff have so much to do they miss things, it's definitely that the staff love having a little giggle to themselves every time they scam someone!

Okay so we have posters clearly thinking that lidl is a big con job and out to scam customers which is oaky if that is how they feel, but you would have to wonder then why said posters continue to use that shop and engage with the thread.

If i use a shop and feel like i have been ripped off or scammed there is not a hope of me stepping foot in there again.

on a similar but side note :-

While shopping in aldi recently i noticed a lady picking up 20 family packs of strawberries saying to the man beside here they are only €1.99 but aldi have changed the labelling system and the price used to be above the item and now it is below, it is a clever idea but is it a scam ? nope anyway said strawberries were €5.99

Really depends on what store you are in my local is usually good but went to one next town over bought meat recently which was 2 days out of date. I emailed customer service who apologised and told me to return it to my local store for a refund. There was a time they would offer you compensation via money off through the app but not any more. Will I continue to use lidl yes, will I check dates now ….definitely.

Anyone buy lidl firefighters recently, did I just get a bad packet, finding them complete rubbish in so far as they are hard to light and keep lighting.

We would really need some staff posting here. Maybe manager's incentives do cause some game playing.

Also, I've often wondered about the heavily discounted food. It would be natural for staff to let a friend know when the good stuff is being marked down.

most companies have a social media/internet postings policy ( postings that refers to company's products or could affect reputation ) - no one wants to get sacked for posting online.

as for discounted items - a bit like perks of the job ; same as clearance items in Currys or Tesco - only staff knows how many left and where are hidden/placed on the shelves

About 'moaning online' - face book posts/rant could be deleted by page owner; blogs/boards &Co is seen as customer feedback - even if no one from Lidl reads this thread ( highly doubted ) , the bots will read/index and process : info will get there eventually.

They've made it to the big time.

That's just one greedy customers buying all the wine and Lidl not enforcing their "X per customer" rule, for anyone curious but not curious enough to click.

Back in my teens working for a supermarket we were always told not to put the stuff under the wrong label and if there was no label to report it to the manager, because there was a big 5,000 euro fine if someone else reports it to someone else.

I have found this happened several times in the past - code not working until after 9 on Thursday morning. So I reckon you may be right. It is definitely possible that somewhere out there in the internet is a button on a server that needs to be pressed by a Lidl employee rather than an automated thing.

I have a 10 off 50 voucher that expires in 3 days that I won't be using. I'd be happy to let anyone else use it who can make use of it have a go at suing it (along with all the other lidl plus offers I won't be using). PM me if anyone wants to give it a go!

I was in there yesterday and was meant to buy honey but I forgot so this is convenient timing

this is more likely going to be honey flavoured goo rather than actual honey
