If you head into a Lidl store (find your nearest) you can pick up a 5kg 'Waste Not' box of fruit and vegetables for £1.50, while stock lasts. The boxes contain 'edible but not perfect' fruit and veg, which are slightly past its best, but still safe to eat. This is currently an ongoing offer with no end date, but we'll update you here if that changes.
These are available in stores in England, Scotland and Wales only, and found near the checkout area. However, they are subject to availability, so if you want one you'll need to be quick as there are only a limited number of boxes available each day, from the time stores open until midday. Any unsold boxes will be donated to local good causes.
What you'll actually get is completely random as the boxes are made up on the day with whatever fruit and veg is looking past its best in each store. Some could be damaged or discoloured, but you'll be able to see what you're getting before you buy.
A box we spotted in Aug 2023 in a London branch of Lidl
To give you a rough idea of how much of a saving you could make, when we picked up a box to check this deal out, we got:
One 250g punnet of raspberries – normally £2.99
Two x bananas – normally 37p for two (£0.78/kg)
Five x apples – normally 89p for a 5-pack (17p each)
13 x satsumas – normally 95p for a 500g bag (£1.90/kg)
Two x pears – normally 95p for a 550g bag (£1.72/kg)
One 500g pack of leeks – normally 69p for a 500g pack (£1.38/kg)
Two x aubergines – normally 69p each
Three x lettuce – normally 69p for a 2-pack (34p for one)
13 x potatoes – normally 91p for a 2.5kg bag (36p/kg)
One punnet of black grapes – normally £1.09
Based on the price of each individual item in the box, we've calculated that it would cost over £10 to buy it all separately – so buying a box for £1.50 really does save a bunch.

New and existing users of the Lidl Plus app (download via App Store or Google Play) in England, Wales and Scotland will receive a 10% off voucher when spending £250 in a calendar month – up to a maximum of £20. If you spend £100 in a month, Lidl told us you will qualify for a free own-brand item, and then again if you spend £150.
Lidl Plus is also available in Northern Ireland, but tends to have different offers.
As well as money-off coupons, you can claim a free in-store bakery item when you've spent at least £10 in a month. To track the amount spent, scan your virtual Lidl Plus card (within the app) each time you shop. Of course, this shouldn't be an excuse to overspend, but it could be a nice bonus when doing your normal shopping anyway.
Once you've reached the spend target, your coupons should appear automatically in the Coupons section of the app. You can't get change from the coupons, and you'll need to use them within seven days of issue at any Lidl store in the UK (find your nearest).
The qualifying spend excludes infant formula, and coupons can't be used on alcohol or infant formula.
Check the 'Coupons' section of the Lidl Plus app weekly for extra offers. You can get 20% off all in-store bakery items on Monday to Saturday (excluding bank holidays) from 7pm until closing time.
Every Thursday, you'll be offered a different selection of item-specific coupons valid for one week. When we checked, you could get 20% off cookies and 15% off salted nuts, bacon and stonebaked pizzas.
To use the app, select Northern Ireland when signing up. Each week, the app will have 10 coupons for selected products, usually up to 33% off. MoneySaver Glenda K told us she's previously seen 33% off organic honey, 30% off smoked bacon and 25% off ground coffee.
Scan your virtual card at the till or self-service till each time you shop. Spend coupons by loading them onto your virtual card, then scanning your card before paying. You can use more than one coupon at the same time, but Lidl says there may be a limit of six promotional items per customer.

There are always ways to save money at Lidl, so even if there isn’t a cracking deal out there that works for you, don’t assume you can’t cut your costs further.
Ways to save include:
Exclusive offers for email subscribers. If you sign up to the Lidl newsletter it will email you special promotional offers and competitions, so you can get in there first.
Supermarket coupons. Make sure you look out for Lidl’s in-store magazine as it may contain coupons and vouchers to save on your shopping. Also check newspapers like The Metro for £5 off £25 spend vouchers, and remember - Lidl only accepts its own coupons.
Check out similar retailers, eg, Aldi and the other major supermarkets. If you’re not committed to buying from Lidl, check out our deals from Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons and Waitrose, where they may have a better offer, or accept any coupons you might have (except Aldi).
Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to find out in which shops hagglers have most success. Supermarkets did feature, so it’s worth a go. Find out more in our Haggle on the High Street guide.
Had a problem with Lidl? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Lidl*.
If you spot any hot deals out there we have missed (we are human after all!), please let us know by emailing msedeals@moneysavingexpert.com or via Twitter @MSE_Deals.

Are you in charge of this year's Christmas dinner? If so, keep calm and carrot on... the 2024 Christmas veg price war is heating up.
So far, six supermarkets – Asda, Lidl, Aldi, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco – have confirmed veg prices will be slashed this week, with Asda, Lidl and Aldi currently taking the crown, dropping prices to as low as 8p a packet. As we usually see every year, once a few supermarkets drop prices, the others follow suit.
This is the cheapest we've ever seen Christmas veg since we started tracking them in 2015. The previous cheapest was in 2022, when prices went down to 9p a packet on Christmas Eve at Aldi in a bid to reduce food waste. That beat 2023's 15p, 2021's 14p, and 2015's 22p – in case you were wondering.
You don't need to keep your eyes peeled for when the cheap veg will be available, as we've listed when you can bag them below, so get ready to par-snip the price of your festive shop.

Will there be enough stock of cheap Christmas veg? Given the time of year, we can't be certain what stock will be available at supermarkets – local greengrocers may be a better option if available to you.
Will they be reduced even further? It might be worth waiting until just before supermarkets close for Christmas as you could find these cheap veg further reduced to clear stock. Previously we've seen 1kg of carrots for free after Christmas Day.
