I just saw in my app! They are taking away £10 off at £200 and replacing it with a reward at £250. Rubbish. Lidl Abu.

We do our main shop in Lidl and spend much more than £250 a month, anyway.

Whatwouldscullydo · 27/08/2022 10:43

Everything is getting so expensive. I guess they had to make a choice.

Do customers want cheap or do they want rewards.

I'm.assumimg there's little choice now. You can't have both.

chillipenguin · 27/08/2022 10:44

Noooooo

Never mind it's still way cheaper than my alternative supermarket

They also seem to have stopped the weekend specials too 😥

WyldeSwan · 27/08/2022 10:50

Yes it's 10% off your next shop now isn't it? Which would be fine, as you could do less but bigger shops for store cupboard stuff - but you've only a week to use it :(

Even as one person I spend £150 easy

YouLookinSusBro · 27/08/2022 10:56

Just came on to post the same thing 😟 I always spend £200 and the £10 voucher was really handy just before payday

1stTimeMama · 27/08/2022 11:00

They only just moved the goalposts a little while ago, and now again? I'm finding the Tesco clubcard offers quite good though.

Prices have risen so much in Lidl its cheaper to shop at Tesco and Morrisons.

The freezer section in my Lidl is only ever half full...for at least the last 6 months.

Plus Lidl stopped selling their frozen vegetable curry 😡

Longdistance · 27/08/2022 11:03

I spent £300 on Lidl last month (looked at my digital receipt). I buy wine there too, so that bumps it up. I’ll probably qualify for £10 off. I’m not doing a big shop today as we’re going away. I agree that 10% off is rubbish. I’d only use that for a big shop.

I've never quite forgiven them for stopping selling their almond croissants about 6 years ago 😂

I don't buy from the bakery there's always flys around in our local ones and people using their hands and sneezing

TwoMonthsOff · 27/08/2022 11:12

@catandcoffee
oh no ….I hadn’t seen it for ages just thought it was out of stock. That’s disappointing it was lovely, the tikka masala ? In the purple box?

Ooh! I take it back then. I stopped looking out for them about 5 years ago. All is forgiven 😂😂

Caterina99 · 27/08/2022 16:24

I can’t decide if this will save us more money or not. We would fairly easily spend £250 per month at lidl as it’s our main shop and we spend about £100 a week on average now.

What I don’t like is that the vouchers expire in 7 days. I don’t shop on an exact day each week and I’ve had them expire occasionally because it’s been 8 or more days. It should be your next shop, or valid for a month after you’ve earned it

IvebeenUpAllNightNoSleep · 28/08/2022 07:23

Also spotted this yesterday.

ypu will only get 10% off the next shop AFTER you’ve reached £250.

so to get the equivalent £10 off you then have to spend £100 after the £250 if that makes sense.

Not good for me. I used to use the £10 at end of month and buy all my laundry powders etc.

Caterina99 · 28/08/2022 13:12

Yep I was thinking hopefully I can stretch til Thursday for this weeks shopping so that it’s in September and can add to the total! otherwise it’ll be more difficult to meet that £250 target AND then have a shop worth more than £100 by the end of September

IvebeenUpAllNightNoSleep · 28/08/2022 13:19

I wonder if Aldi will
ever do some kind of loyalty thing?

Skidamarinkadinkadink · 29/08/2022 07:21

Argh this is really annoying, we use Lidl’s as our main shop and always spend the £10 voucher… doubt this one will be as good or save us as much money.

Tinuviel · 29/08/2022 08:14

I was really disappointed when I first spotted this but I think it might work in our favour as we'll just do a bigger shop and stock up on loo roll, cleaning stuff, tins etc once we reach the 10% voucher so we get more than £10 discount.

Provided we do that in the following month, it will count towards the next set of vouchers.

Gatekeeper · 29/08/2022 13:24

the 10% off is capped at a £200 shop as well

Sanj65 · 31/08/2022 12:01

This is terrible for me. Being divorced and one my own I barely get to £200 in a month, although with the way prices are being hiked daily it's getting more likely. £250 will be virtually impossible and even then to get £10 off you need to spend £100 on your next shop. I'll probably cap my spend to £100 now just to get the £2 voucher do the rest of my shopping elsewhere. Many aisles in Lidl are empty. They haven't been stocking deodorants for a good few weeks 😖

fisjon · 31/08/2022 12:18

Yep, had a shock this morning when I turned on my lidl app.
I actually bought a smart phone in order to get the £10 discount so I had to wait over a year before I was in profit.
And yes, the shelves are bare and certain items are not being replaced.
I always end up at some time in the month nipping down to tesco to get those items that Lidl don't stock so Lidl is really not a full time supermarket.
Take note lidl, you're on a looser.
I shall check out ALDI and ASDA and see what my shop comes to.
