Found them - Laila brand in the Nuts section. Normally they were Alesto brand with the rices & pastas

Was there a free Greek Style Yoghurt €1.35 in the past week?

On the coupon plus thing where you collect more coupons the more money you spend on fresh meats, yes there was, I got a voucher for free Greek yoghurt 1kg or Italian style salad

Muahahaha

yeah that was it, I think a previous customer had moved the double pack of steaks to the single pack shelf and I didnt look close enough before picking it up.

PopTarts

PARKRUN016

Organic Blueberries or Caesar Salad

Muahahaha

Felt like I won the Lidl lottery this afternoon, yesterday I moved portions of curry, rice and naan bread from the freezer to the fridge to defrost for tonights dinner. Then this afternoon in Lidls car park I scratched the card and up came a free packet of poppadoms, savage timing

PopTarts

Chewy Fruit Strips or Savoury Rice

In what section are the poppadoms? Couldn't find them the last day.

crayon80

Poppadoms are usually near the curry sauces. Try the second aisle as you enter, maybe half way down on the left?

What 10 off 30 trick in Dunnes?

amber2

Next weeks treats

Dutchy

Hopefully not a silly question but how can you be 100 percent sure you're picking up the correct treat / free item? All of mine went through bar the blueberries. Must have picked up the wrong ones! When you click on 'products included' it shows a five digit number - does this correlate to the bar code number on the valid item? Had the same issue with the apple juice last week

EarWig

Yes, the code is on the price sticker on display. It will match the number in the app.

PeterDuggan

Lidl stubbornly insist on keeping the item photos very small and prevent the customer enlarging them so it's understandable that people pick up the wrong items.

Put your discounted items first on the checkout and watch the checkout display for the corresponding discount. If it doesn't discount the till person will usually offer to go get the correct item.

with the blueberries, the pic on the app isnt right

You can't zoom on the app you've to take a screenshot and zoom in on that.

The products aren't always on the right shelf. Nor are they always in stock.

Why on earth Lidl don't just include the barcode number instead of the product code is anyone's guess😒

PeterDuggan

The app doesn't allow you zoom in.

Screenshot then zoom

Red Silurian

You are correct on that one but the pic clearly shows the brand and the weight, I went with that yesterday and it worked

zell12

I got two scratchcards for one purchase. Second one is €1 off

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119237691#Comment_119237691

In my Lidl they were on the lowest shelf beneath the rice, there was two empty boxes there and I got the second to last packet in the third box

PeterDuggan

Taking screenshots and zooming those in is a lot of Malarchy when Lidl could just include decent size photos in the first place. Older people especially aren't going to do all that.

zell12

More sweets on third scratchcard

Escapees

App scanning but no discounts applied at till. Sent digital receipt to Lidl customer service...

I'd love to know if Lidl outsourced the system development and ongoing maintenance. It's still so unreliable, years on. As in, you shouldn't have to check each time that the discounts have applied. If outsourced, the company involved should have to pay the cost of all the apology vouchers!!

every company has it's own way of doing things- tried and tested : for saving or making even more money!

• some products are grouped under same product code ( SKU ) - ie. salt and vinegar/ Salt /Cheese / BBQ flavours of crisps bags - one product code allows you to have a choice ( all products have different barcodes)
• some products have barcodes, but not ( or very tiny) numbers under the barcode ; if the packaging gets dirty/misprinted or a discount tag is placed on the barcodes number....you get the point
• if barcodes are used instead of product codes : you'll have multiple hands touching the product on the shelf, by people turning the product to see the barcode numbers on the back - not only a health and safety issue, but extra cost for the company to pay extra staff to arrange the products on the shelf facing the front ( if you work in retail, you'll know how important is shelf product display, with supervisors, reps and everyone in between trying to make and keep the 'perfect shelf' , without gaps and anything that will deter the customer in buying...)

Sometimes a product gets a new packaging - by the time the new stock propagates through EU stores, some countries still get the old packaging showing in apps/leaflets ( ie. chocolate and other food items for free/discounted )

Lidl is so big in EU and US , that they have their own datacentres and IT support infrastructure .

i see the app has an option now to enable 'digital receipt only ' feature - some say it was introduced to minimise time spent at till ( the seconds that pass between - would you like the receipt? and the customer's answer) ; some say it's to save the planet from paper pollution...

This thread is almost two years old.

Thanks for all the love and goodies Lidl 😍

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119243699#Comment_119243699

Its been fantastic really even if I am eating more sweets than I normally would 😂 The Parkrun freebies have been great lately and also getting a euro off a shop on the scratch card every few weeks is decent too..

Would love if Aldi introduced a similar app too but given Lidls app is on the go two years now its unlikely to happen

uli84

My local must be really bad, went in today, and none of the 3 ‘freebies’ I could possibly claim was in stock :(

Moving2017

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119244154#Comment_119244154

I find this in the store I go to also… almost every freebie goes unclaimed… I mostly use the app for the receipts!

pc7

The €10 off has been a super help, I’ve been using two a week when possible. It’s a brilliant saving especially as I shop in lidl. All the other bits too.

Patsy167

Anyone else notice that the sweets on the scratch and win are often out of date? I picked up the Fritt fruit strips this morning and they are dated March 2022. It's happened in the past with chocolate too. They're totally fine but I'm surprised LIDL don't monitor it closer.

Nollog

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119247425#Comment_119247425

the top date is production date, if youre reading that one. the bottom line is the best before. with all the languages on it it took me ages to find the English which was crumpled up in the corner almost unreadable.

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119246015#Comment_119246015

Its been great, it really helps to take the edge off the amount of food price inflation going on

crayon80

24 cans 7up or diet coke for €9.99.

XXL big box of dolce gusto compatible capsules €4.99.

Even better value with the €10 off 50's

odyssey06

10e off plus

Free pork ribs on the coupon plus

Free savoury rice as treat

No sign of the organic blueberries so got free caesar salad

Great thread!

I get around this by not scratching the scratchcard until it's almost expired. When you scratch it, the timer resets and you get another week to use it, by which time the previous weeks freebies are normally back in stock as the app has moved onto the next weeks freebies.

Roberto_gas

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119248658#Comment_119248658

I thought if u dont activate they expire on last day

Buffman

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119251136#Comment_119251136

Scratching and activating are two different things on the app. You get 6 or 7 days to scratch it and then when you scratch it the time resets and you get another 6 or 7 days to activate and use it.

Buffman

Just a reminder today is the last day to claim WHITE03, CLARE03, & PARKRUN016. 👍️

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119251738#Comment_119251738

can you have 2-3 scratch cards pending scratch at same time? I thought you use the one and then only get new one for next shop

amber2

Yes You can use multiple scratch cards on the same day.

dubdub123

Delighted i found this thread as friend just mentioned there's voucher codes doing the rounds.

Does each store have these? The tenner off ?

odyssey06

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119254471#Comment_119254471

Each store no.

So officially no there is no €10 off in every store.

Unofficially... go to your LIDL Plus App asap and redeem one of these codes:

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119251738#Comment_119251738

But if you don't scratch it how do you know what's on offer?

Buffman

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119252305#Comment_119252305

Yep, I think my personal 'best' was 5 waiting to be scratched. Once activated there's no limit on how many you can use per transaction, I often get 2 or 3 free items in the one transaction. The only thing you can't do is use more than one 'money off' treat per transaction as only one can be activated at a time.

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

Where do you get the park run codes? I am a member of park run for years, I guess I have to update my email settings and they email them out each week?

robbie000

Any new €10 off codes I have used three the last three weeks, they are a nice saver.

rule supreme

Clare04 and White04 should be some of this week's codes
