Lidl is giving away free products: how to get potatoes and chips.

According to The Sun: LIDL stores are offering the opportunity to get free vegetables and bags of chips using a simple tactic available to everyone.

Amid rising food prices and the approaching Christmas season, any savings become extremely important.

Facebook users shared a photo of their LIDL receipt, showing a bag of chips and a sack of potatoes.

They wrote:

“I don’t know if everyone knows about this, but when you get a coupon for a free snack or free fruits or vegetables,”

“it is valid for large bags of potatoes and 30-pack chips.”

LIDL shoppers quickly responded in the comments. One participant noted:

“If you are buying multiple items, scan the free items first.”

“And the rest of your purchases in a separate transaction, because you cannot deduct the 'cheapest item for free.'”

Another participant added:

“I got the same thing last week.”

“I got a large bag of chips and a big bag of potatoes last week, but unfortunately, I needed broccoli too, and I got free broccoli instead of a large bag of potatoes,” explained another shopper.

One satisfied customer said:

“Yes, you either get free fruits or free vegetables depending on what is offered in the app.”

Shoppers can get coupons in the Lidl Plus app, which are tailored to their shopping habits.

Coupon Plus and various rewards are also available in the app.

However, shoppers must activate the coupons before approaching the checkout.

Lidl states:

“From free sweets in-store when you spend just £10 a month to an incredible 10% off your next purchase when you reach £250. The more you buy, the more you save.”

Remember that the discount applies to the cheapest item, so it’s better to leave lower-value items and pay for them in a separate transaction.

Shoppers are facing increasing pressure on their wallets

Prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages have risen for the fifth consecutive month, reaching a new high for 20 months.

Despite the overall inflation rate in the UK remaining at 3.8% in August, new data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages increased by 5.1%.

This means that a basket of goods that cost £100 a year ago now costs £105.10, significantly impacting family budgets as everyday essentials become more expensive.

The biggest increase is observed in the price of beef and veal, which rose by 24.9%, while pork increased by 8.2%.

Prices for dairy products have also surged: the cost of butter jumped by 18.9%, and whole milk by 12.6%.

Even treats have seen price increases, with coffee and chocolate rising by 15.4%.

However, not everything is so bad, as some staple products have become cheaper compared to last year.
