‘Off we go to Lidl!’ parents say as chuffed mum shows off the mud kitchen she nabbed at bargain basement price
PARENTS are racing to Lidl after one mum nabbed a mud kitchen for her little one for just £20.
The woman took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share the epic buy, which is currently fetching up to £100 on selling site eBay.
“£20 Lidl bargain! Mud kitchen,” she captioned the picture.
“Only got this today (13th July) in the Lincoln store, it was in like a sale bin thing to get rid of.
“Don’t really shop lidl, so not sure if the sale bin was a regular thing or not, so was happy when found this bargain for our daughter’s birthday!
“I did have to ask how much it was as no price was on it.”
According to the product description, the mud kitchen has two shelves and a serving tray, as well as an erasable blackboard and chalk.
It also has a water bucket with a tap, two removable plastic sinks, two hotplates with temperature knobs with clicking sounds, four decorative flower pots, three wooden hooks and a towel holder.
In addition, it comes with three garden tools – a fork, and a large and small trowel.
And other parents in the comments section quickly said they needed to plan a trip to Lidl in hopes of finding the mud kitchen.
“Off we go to check Lidl tomorrow!” one wrote.
“Fancy Lidl tomorrow?” another said, tagging a friend.
“My son got this for his birthday and he loves it!” a third added, but revealed they’d “paid £49.99 for it”.
“OMG I want one for my little girl,” someone else said.
“Half the price I paid!” another revealed.
“Great quality too,” someone else added.
“I’m going to go check our Lidl tomorrow,” another commented.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
As someone else wrote: “Omg I’ve been after one of these for the kids”.
But another warned: “My daughter had this one a few years ago.
“If you get it I would advise you treat the wood or keep it covered as the wood warped quite quickly.”
Lidl regularly sells incredible bargains for kids, with savvy parents recently racing to their local store for cut-price school uniform.
