WITH the cost of living grinding everyone down, it’s never been more important to find ways to save on everything from travel to food.
So when one woman bought a fruit and veg box that only set her back £1.50, she was left in complete amazement at what she had bagged.
Taking to the Facebook group ‘Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group’, she posted a photo of her massive selection.
Laid out on her kitchen counter, she had nine large carrots, five bananas, seven peaches, six giant potatoes, three onions, two courgettes, two apples and one large mango.
“The items from the lidl £1.50 fruit and veg box,” she wrote in the caption of the post.
And people were left amazed as it racked up 139 likes with one person calling it “excellent”.

Lidl’s vegetable and fruit box is part of their Waste Not campaign and their mission statement reads: “We all have a responsibility to reduce our food waste, and that’s precisely what our Too Good To Waste boxes are all about.
“From potatoes to tomatoes, these boxes are filled with fruit and vegetables which are still good to use, but would have otherwise been thrown away.”

The only catch to the deal is that while they come cheap, it’s subject to availability and you may not always find them by the checkout area.

Some have come with leeks, pears, plums, grapes and peppers in the past as one person wrote: “Over the moon with my Lidl fruit and veg box for £1.50”.
Another said: “Lidl south Wigston every morning boxes of good fresh fruit and veg for £1.50. Brilliant support for your community well done,” alongside a clapping hands emoji and a smiling emoji.
And another shared: “I love Lidl man. £1.50 for the whole box of fruit & veg,” before sharing a photo of aubergines, grapes, cherries, and bananas.
