Every week Lidl runs fresh fruit and vegetable offers in stores on selected products which our forumites love.

Discounted products available from Thu 12 Sep to Wed 18 Sep include:

• Grapefruit, 35p each
• Lemons, 69p for 500g
• Butternut squash, 69p per kg
• Apples, 69p per five-pack

It's worth noting that all the vegetables are provided in non-recyclable packaging, apart from the grapefruit and butternut squash which are loose.

There's a new fruit & veg offer at Tesco* which works out cheaper than discounters Aldi & Lidl for some items called the 'Fresh 5', valid until Mon 10 Jun.

Fruit & veg in the offer include:

• 45p Vine ripened tomatoes (230g)* - next cheapest we found, £1 at Morrisons.
• 45p Baby Jersey royal potatoes (450g)* - next cheapest similar we found, £1 at Asda for 750g.
• 45p Apricots (320g)* - next cheapest we found, £1 at Sainsbury's and Morrisons.
• 39p Flat peaches (4-pack min)* - next cheapest we found, £1.49 at Asda.
• 39p Ripe mango (each)* - next cheapest we found, 79p at Lidl.
  
  

It's worth noting that most of this fruit and veg is provided in non-recyclable packaging (you may be able to recycle half of the tomatoes, apricots and peaches packaging) aside from the mango, which is loose.

If you go in store only to Morrisons (find your nearest*), you can get three packs of selected vegetables for £1 (33p each), normally 50p each.

Vegetables in the offer include:

• Potatoes, 1.5kg - cheaper at Aldi, 29p for 2.5kg.
  
• Leeks, 500g - next cheapest we found, 95p at Lidl.
• Carrots, 1kg - cheaper at Aldi, 19p for 1kg.
• Broccoli, each - next cheapest we found, 58p at Asda.
• Parsnips, 500g - cheaper at Aldi, 19p for 500g.
   

Whilst most of the vegetables are cheaper elsewhere, if you live closer to a Morrisons than an Aldi or Asda, it's probably not worth the extra petrol of travelling further for the sake of a few pence, unless you're visiting Asda or Aldi anyway – and three for £1 at Morrisons is still a decent offer.

We've spotted a 20p vegetable offer at Asda* from Mon 15 Apr, which works out cheaper than discounters Aldi & Lidl for some items, until Mon 22 Apr.

Vegetables in the 20p offer include:

• Parsnips (500g)* - CHEAPER at Aldi & Lidl, 19p for 500g
• Spring greens (500g)* - next cheapest we found, 70p at Morrisons.
• Carrots (1kg)* - CHEAPER at Aldi, 19p for 1kg
• Swede (each)* - next cheapest we found, 39p at Aldi.

Previously, Asda has not offered cut-price veg in all locations, but it's worth a look in your local if you're already there.

It's worth noting that all of these vegetables are provided in non-recyclable packaging (you may be able to recycle some packaging in carrier bag recycling bins) apart from the swede which is loose.

Every two weeks Aldi runs a deal called the 'Super 6' on six fruits and vegetables, for less than £1 each.

The current offer runs from Thu 12 Sep until Wed 25 Sep and includes the following:

• 59p Beetroot (500g) - next cheapest we found, 75p at Lidl.
• 59p Figs (4-pack) - next cheapest we found, 75p at Sainsbury's.
• 65p Cocktail vine tomatoes (250g) - next cheapest we found, £1.70 at Sainsbury's.
• 65p Green beans (220g) - next cheapest similar we found, 75p for 200g at Asda.
  
• 65p Organic potatoes (1.5kg) - next cheapest we found, £1.12 at Tesco.
• 65p Sweetcorn (2-pack) - next cheapest we found, 74p at Lidl.
  

It's worth noting that all the fruit & veg are provided in non-recyclable packaging.

After a successful trial scheme in a few locations, all Lidl stores in England, Scotland and Wales (find your nearest) are now offering £1.50 boxes containing 5kg of 'edible but not perfect' fruit and veg - slightly past its best, but still safe to eat.

Every day, a limited number of boxes will be available from the time stores open, until midday - when any unsold boxes will be donated to local good causes.

What you'll actually get is completely random, as the 'Too Good to Waste' boxes are made up on the day with whatever fruit and veg is looking past its best in each store. Some will be bruised or battered, while others might have just escaped from their wrapper - in any case, you'll be able to see what you're getting before you buy.

See our blog on Reductions in places you might not expect for how you can save 30% at Lidl, or bag 'yellow-sticker' bargains at B&M, Holland & Barrett and more.

Every two weeks Aldi runs a deal called the 'Super 6' on six fruits and vegetables, for less than £1 each.

The current offer runs from Thu 20 Dec until Wed 2 Jan and includes the following:

• 19p Carrots (1kg) - SAME PRICE at Lidl.

It's worth noting that all the vegetables are provided in non-recyclable packaging, apart from the swede, which are loose.

If you go online or in some stores to Morrisons*, you can get a selection box of wonky veg for £3.50. Online delivery's from £1 on a minimum order of £40+. See full T&Cs*.

The wonky veg box will include:

• Carrots - approx four (large).
• Onions - approx six (small).
• Potatoes - approx eight (large).
• Parsnips - approx three (large).

It'll also include at least three of a selection of other veg, which could include:

• Cabbage
• Swede
• Cauliflower
• Leeks
• Peppers

We priced up the box based on the included veg plus one cauliflower, swede and a cabbage at Tesco and came to £6.81. However, if you bought the wonky veg from Morrisons plus a swede and a pack of parsnips, it'd cost £3.92.

So you'll save money with this box, but it might be worth picking up the individual packets of wonky veg instead if you like to know what you'll get.

It's worth noting that the wonky veg do not come packed in any plastic, just the cardboard box which can be reused or recycled after you've eaten the vegetables. So, this box is good if you're looking to reduce your purchase of single-use plastics.

If you're concerned about food waste and believe beauty is on the inside, then you might want to see if you can pick up a wonky veg box for £3.50 in store at Asda*. The boxes, which are available in 550 stores, contain 5kg of peculiar-shaped, odd-sized seasonal veg that wouldn't win any beauty contests - but should be just as nice on the inside.

Asda says 10,000 boxes are going into 550 participating stores (see the full list) every month - so it's worth going quickly if you want the pick of the wonky crop.

What's in the box?

Each box is different but Asda tells us an example might contain about 500g carrots, 1kg potatoes, two onions, two courgettes, one cucumber, one cabbage, 300g leeks, 300g parsnips and three peppers - enough, Asda says, to feed a family of four for a week. If bought normally, this would cost £6ish. Though there are other ways to save on veg, see MSE Coupon Kid Jordon Cox's blog on buying individual veg rather than pre-packaged, Aldi's Super Six and Lidl's vegetable offers.

Why is Asda doing this?

Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver says 20%-40% of quality fruit and veg produced by UK farms is wasted in part because supermarkets think we're a superficial bunch who won't buy 'ugly' fruit and veg. The big supermarkets are now under pressure to cut food waste.

Wonky veg boxes are great if you want to contribute to cutting back on plastic use, food waste, help farmers, and save money (about 30% off Asda's standard prices, it says - but you may find it's cheaper to buy veg individually elsewhere).

Let us know if you found one of these boxes and what you think of it on Twitter.
