Slightly past its best, but still edible. In stores nationwide, excluding Northern Ireland

If you head into a Lidl store (find your nearest), you can pick up a 5kg 'Waste Not' box of fruit and vegetables for £2, 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 here if that changes.

These are available in stores in England, Scotland, and Wales, and found near the checkout area. They're 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. Lidl says 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 bananas – normally 37p for two (£0.78/kg)
Five apples – normally 89p for a five-pack (17p each)
13 satsumas – normally 95p for a 500g bag (£1.90/kg)
Two 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 aubergines – normally 69p each
Three lettuce – normally 69p for a two-pack (34p for one)
13 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 £2 really does save a bunch.

Availability is limited and these popular toys tend to go fast

Aldi and Lidl both launched their annual wooden toy events on Thursday 8 October. Aldi has 50+ toys from £3.99, while Lidl has 140+ from £1.79. Lidl Plus members (free to join) can also get an extra 10% off Lidl's range until Wednesday 14 October.

Some examples at Aldi include:

Kitchen - £29.99
Supermarket playset - £29.99
Vanity table with mirror & stool - £34.99
Dollhouse - £34.99

Some examples at Lidl include:

Tabletop grill - £14.99 (£13.49 with Lidl Plus)
Ice cream cart - £17.99 (£16.99 with Lidl Plus)
Double-sided easel - £17.99 (£16.99 with Lidl Plus)
Disney Princess castle - £29.99 (£26.99 with Lidl Plus)

See 'More info' below for an extended list of products at both supermarkets.

Important: These products launched in stores on Thursday 8 October so stock is likely to be very limited now. These toys have proved popular in previous years, and we can't check stock in all stores, so it may not be worth making a special trip. At Aldi, there's a limit of two wooden toy products per customer.

Which wooden toy sale is best?

While Lidl has the bigger selection, Aldi is generally cheaper on comparable larger playsets. For example, Aldi's wooden kitchen costs £29.99, compared with £49.99 at Lidl (or £44.99 with Lidl Plus), while Aldi's vanity table is £34.99 versus £39.99 at Lidl (or £35.99 with Lidl Plus).

How do these prices compare to other retailers?

From what we've seen, Aldi and Lidl tend to be among the cheapest places to buy larger wooden playsets. For example, Aldi's wooden kitchen is £29.99, compared with £80 for one at John Lewis. Similar wooden kitchens often cost £55 to £75 at Amazon.

Via the Lidl Plus app when spending any amount. Excludes Northern Ireland

Scan the Lidl Plus app (sign up for free) when making any purchase at Lidl until Wednesday 19 August and you'll receive a digital coupon for a free Lidl bakery item (normally 49p to 99p) within the app.

You only have to buy one item to qualify (excluding gift cards), so you could just buy the cheapest item you can find (such as a single fruit) and still get this deal.

What's more, you'll get a coupon after every shop you do within the promotional period, providing it's been more than 24 hours since your last purchase. Note though, you can only redeem one bakery item coupon at a time.

After you've made your purchase, look for the 'Bakery Spin' icon on the Lidl Plus app homepage – you then 'spin' a virtual wheel to find out which free bakery item you can get.

You'll be given a choice of two or three bakery items, issued at random. Here's the full list:

Large French baguette
All butter croissant
Brownie
Almond croissant
Apple turnover
Baked cookies assorted
Belgian bun
Cheese pretzel roll
Chocolate cronut
Chocolate hazelnut doughnut
Focaccia pizza pepperoni
Demi baguette
Filled muffins assorted
Jam filled doughnut
Maple and pecan plait 5.5% pecans
Belgian choc cookie assorted
Pink iced ring doughnut
Pretzel
Rosemary and sea salt focaccia roll
Toffee filled yum yum
Vegetable pizza slice

The coupon will be valid for seven days, and you'll need to activate it. Do this in the 'Coupons For You' section of the app before you get to the till and scan your app. There's no minimum spend required when redeeming your coupon so you could just get the free item and nothing else.

See full offer terms and conditions.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
