BUDGET LIDL SHOP | Feeding a family of 4 & saving tips

I freeze my raspberries straight away, (do not wash them) especially when you get a few boxes reduced! Was surprised they didn’t stick and you can take a few out at a time, then rinse them , then use. Never waste these expensive berries 😊

My tip for the cous cous - dissolve a veg stock cube in boiling water and then add ur cous cous to the water… so tasty.

[@leannejayne3545]

@@jadewillcox6102 ah yes! I’ve heard that before, thanks for the reminder! ☺️ x

I cook rice or pasta in veg stock as well.

Hi Leanne...we could do as the royals not to eat Rice Potatoes and Pasta for supper....Chloe Sevigne and Kristen Stewart look so beautiful in the 2018 film Lizzie about Lizzie Borden.

Thank you! 😊

Where is your favourite place to shop? Please let me know, I’m quite keen to compare Lidl with Aldi , so let me know if you would like to see that, thanks for watching xx❤

I am a Lidl Lady. I have a store local to me. I find I can get most things I need and no extra luxury items to tempt me.

[@leannejayne3545]

@@patmartin9727 Same, Lidl is local to me and we really love their Lidl Plus app, it’s saved us so much money x

Yes raspberries and strawberries tend to go off so quickly and they’re not cheap either. I shop at lidl too. I love ❤️ the free bakery stuff you get. I’ll have to have a lookout for that pizza. I prefer chicken thighs and drumsticks. I got some drumsticks the other week in Lidl and was less than £2. I buy that cottage cheese and mix it with eggs - sounds horrible but is really nice. I know what you mean with packets of ham does have a lot of rubbish in them. I get that peanut butter too. It’s really nice. We get the Cadbury’s crunchies from Lidl. Thank you for sharing xxx

[@leannejayne3545]

Hey there! Thank you for your lovely comments! I absolutely love Lidl! It's just amazing, isn't it? I always get the basic cheese & tomato pizza for my 6-year-old. It's only 99p and I can portion it into 3-4 servings for her, so it's really affordable. I'm a big fan of cottage cheese, and I'll definitely have to try it with egg! And who doesn't love a good Crunchie, right? X

Great 👍

Hello Leanne, you lucky folks in the UK have Rogers Discount Warehouse scattered around the UK. I do hope you already know about it. The savings are huge. Try to watch a video. It takes a bit of time, perhaps a family outing hehehe. How did your cous cous experiment work out? Jacques

[@leannejayne3545]

@@jacquespoulemer I’ve not heard of Roger’s Discount Warehouse, will look it up! Cous cous is going really well, I’ve been cooking it in veg stock and then adding chicken, cooked peppers, herbs etc, delicious, much better than cous cous in a packet!

Great video - you've got some amazing bargains - well done! I used to have a weekly delivery from Tesco but changed to Aldi when the cost of living crisis hit. We love Lidl but it's further away unfortunately but we go if we're in the area. We find Lidl a teeny bit more expensive than Aldi but then it has the app and money off coupons which we don't get at Aldi. I love your nail varnish. May I ask what brand/colour it is? Best wishes

[@leannejayne3545]

Hi Jane! I’m keen to try Aldi, it’s a 20 minute drive from us, but interested to do a price compare (taking into account Lidl plus rewards) it would be interesting to see! Oh thank you! - I’m a self employed Nail tech, it’s CND shellac in ‘Satin Pyjamas’ x

[@grahamjohnson4702]

The saving on the whole £450 you have to spend reduces the saving to 8.89% of the whole cost to qualify. It is a good saving if you can get a lot of dry or long keep products like washing powder, because not a lot of people spend £200 in a month on their weekly shops.

[@leannejayne3545]

@@grahamjohnson4702 Yes, I appreciate it’s not as easy for some. I always try to take full advantage of it. Like you mention, we try to stock up on washing powder, dry goods, cat food, toiletries, tinned food , toilet rolls etc. thanks Graham!

[@roslinney4285]

I just love the app. I never get to £250 as just the two of us usually £150, but this month alone I saved around £14 with freebies. I just don't know why people don't use it. Take care

[@leannejayne3545]

That’s fantastic savings! Agree, not sure why the rewards app isn’t used more, more money kept in our pockets 👍🏼❤x

[@grahamjohnson4702]

@@leannejayne3545 I have just looked at the Lidl plus application, and I'm sure I have found the reason that people don't use the app, it is the complicated structure of signing up that is putting me off.

[@bevmason2502]

How come you paid £6 odd for those toilet rolls.? I only pay £4.99 for the same pkt

[@leannejayne3545]

@@bevmason2502 Hi, thats the cheapest I've found in Lidl, I did find 24 rolls for £4.99 in Aldi recently though. I'll have to take another look in Lidl then, thanks x

[@jaeleighxxx7829]

Not been to Lidl since Xmas as every other super markets in half a mile of me and Lidls a mile..excuses I know but here in Leeds we're blessed with it all close by. I feel I should go for a visit soon, did like their products. Only thing I wouldn't get there is that toilet roll, Nicky pk32 in Home Bargains I prefer at 8.50, but I shall defo come for frozen raspberries as I need to eat them fast when bought fresh as no one else likes them but me.

[@leannejayne3545]

@@jaeleighxxx7829 ah that absolutely makes sense, similar to me, Aldi is further from me, Lidl is just around the corner, although I did pop into Aldi recently and they do 24 toilet rolls for 4.99, bargain! Thanks so much for watching x
