Well from my experience I've never had any issues with app,. I'm sure if it is that bad you can just choose to go elsewhere.

Lucky you. I shop at Aldi. I was lured back by the Lidl incentive of £5 off a £25 shop because they said they missed me. Lies.

you need to go nuclear, strongly worded email/letter , but I fear alas it wouldn't do justice to your hurt you felt at the time.

These caught my eye so I'll be deciding how to cook them this weekend

It fell on deaf ears. My heartbreak recovered with a £61 spend at Aldi this afternoon. I forgot milk though. FML.

My local Lidl had these in, I'd never seen one before. A pomelo from China, twice the size of a grapefruit and twice as nice too. Sweet and juicy.

Pomello are nice just a chore getting through the skin and pith

Tried one of the Aldi own brand Pad Thai kits over the weekend - I had no king prawns so used chicken instead

It was really good with a bit of tweaking - extra fish sauce a few a few chopped bullet chillis.

I like their green thai curry kits as well

Weekend snacks sorted!.

are the prawn cocktail ones ALDI or LIDL? Last two occasions I've been to ALDI I've searched high and low for them but not found it.

Specially selected is Aldi (those crisps)
Deluxe is Lidl.

100% definitely NOT a signal issue for me. That’s a feeble excuse for what’s clearly their tech issue.

Absolute con having customers spend and not receive the offered discounts (I had other valid coupons too). I regret having not left my shop at the till unpaid for to be honest.

Take a picture of the QR code before you leave the house. Our Lidl has a crap signal.

Or just open the card in the app before you enter the store.

ALDI / Carlos now sell a Dominos Garlic & Herb dip clone for 49p.

The 99p Festbier and Weissbiers are pretty good though.
