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.

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.

Get a coupon each time you spend any amount. Excludes Northern Ireland

Scan the Lidl Plus app (sign up for free) when making any purchase at Lidl until store closing time on Wednesday 29 April and you'll receive a digital coupon which gets 50% off a fruit or vegetable item (normally up to £2) within the app.

You only have to buy one item to qualify (excluding infant formula and gift cards), so you could just buy the cheapest item you can find 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.

After you've made your purchase, look for a digital 'scratch card' game on the homepage of the Lidl Plus app and tap it to get the offer.

You'll be given a choice of two fruit or vegetable items – here are the options:

Raspberries 150g or blueberries 150g
Sweet easy peelers 600g or baby potatoes 1kg
White grapes 500g or plums 1kg
Funsize apples six-pack or funsize easy peelers 500g
Funsize easy peelers 500g or ready-to-eat avocados two-pack
Red grape punnet 500g or Gala apples six-pack
Brown onions 1kg or 'Deluxe' sweet pointed red peppers two-pack
Strawberries 227g or medium oranges five-pack
Fresh corn on the cob two-pack or pomegranate
Extra fine beans 200g or baking potatoes 2.5kg

The coupon will be valid for seven days and you'll need to activate it 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 50% off deal and nothing else.

In Northern Ireland? The Lidl Plus app in Northern Ireland has different offers to the rest of the UK – see the Lidl NI site for more information.

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.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
