‘Here we come’ rave shoppers as Lidl brings back USA week with beloved snacks – from fried chicken to toaster tarts
SHOPPERS are raving as Lidl brings back its USA week with beloved snacks from fried chicken to toaster tarts.
For one week only, the supermarket giant is stocking all things American.
A keen-eyed shopper had spotted the German supermarket stocking the American foods and drinks on Thursday.
They shared the post on Facebook group Newfoodsuk in which hundreds of people commented their enthusiasm for the products.
The limited-time range includes items such as a 750g Fried Chicken Bucket (£5.99) as well as a range of cheap American chocolates and other sweet treats.
It comes as part of Lidl’s Flavour of the Week programme which features foods from a specific world region for just 7 days.
Previous editions have covered the Alps, Iberian Peninsula, and Germany.
For its USA week, the retail is stocking a range of American and American-inspired cuisine.
Shoppers were quick to comment their excitement under the Facebook post.
One said: “Oh wow that all looks amazing.
“Lidl here I come.”
Another added: “Some of the bits look really nice.”
Many also expressed their desire to visit their local store as soon as possible.
Users tagged their friends saying “we are going tomorrow” and “we need to go.”
Lidl has stocked an extensive range of products for the week.
For just £1.99, you can get your hands on a set of nine pizza bagels in either Margherita, Salami, or Cheeseburger Style.
A packet of Chocolate or Nougat American Cookies could be yours for even less at just £1.29.
If you’re feeling in a more breakfast food mood, you can grab Mcennedy’s Pancake Mix (£1.19) and Clarks’ Maple Syrup (£1.99).
The special week also covers drinks with a Chocolate or Cranberry & Cherry Mcennedy Milkshake selling for just 59p.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
