Shopping at Lidl in Germany: Your Guide to the Weekly "Angebote"

Lidl is a shopping institution in Germany, famous for its motto of "high quality for a low price." Every week, millions of Germans eagerly await the new Lidl flyer, or "Prospekt," to plan out their shopping. If you know how to read these flyers and use a few simple tricks, you can score some seriously good deals. Let's explore the world of Lidl's weekly deals together!

How to Read the Lidl Flyer

The Lidl flyers are usually broken down into a few key sections that are good to know:

• Deals from Monday (Angebote ab Montag): This is the main section with grocery deals that last all week.
• Super Saturday (Super-Samstag): These are extra special deals, often at amazing prices, that are only available on Saturday.
• Theme Weeks: Lidl loves a theme! They often have special weeks (like "Italian Week" or "Greek Week") where they offer cool, exclusive foods from different countries.
• Non-Food Items: This is a super popular section with things like clothes, tools, kitchen gadgets, and home goods. These items change every week and are only available while supplies last.

You can always find the most current flyer on our Germany deals page on our website.

Tips and Tricks for Saving at Lidl

1. Use the Lidl Plus app. This smartphone app gives you access to extra digital coupons, receipts, and special offers you won't find in the paper flyer.
2. Shop for non-food items early. The cool stuff, like stand mixers or kids' winter coats, can sell out within hours of the deal starting (usually on Monday or Thursday).
3. Look for the "Rettertüte." These are "rescue bags" filled with fruits and veggies that might not look perfect but are still perfectly good to eat. They're sold for a low, flat price and are a great way to save money and reduce food waste.

Even though Lidl's prices are great, it's always a good idea to compare them with other discounters like ALDI or supermarkets like Rewe. This will help you build the ultimate shopping plan for the week and save the most money.
