The German retailer started trialling the bargain boxes in 2019 before rolling out the scheme across its UK stores.
One shopper was delighted by her discovery and posted a photo to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
It showed a box from Lidl for just £1.50 containing peppers, plums, peaches, pears, bananas, oranges and kiwis.
One user wrote: “I got a great one the other day – melon, mango, nine avocados, ready to eat plums, organic tomatoes, conference pears, half a dozen apples…
“I take some into work to pad out the snack offering for playgroups so even the stuff I’m not keen on doesn’t go to waste.”

Shopping around for the best bargain
When hunting for a deal it is important to shop around make sure you are not being over charged.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
