‘What a good box!’ people cry as Lidl shoppers show off £20 mystery boxes – with coffee machines & Bluetooth headphones
LUCKY Lidl fans have been left delighted after their £20 mystery boxes from the store arrived.
They took to Facebook to share pictures of their jam-packed boxes, leaving others green with envy in the process.
Nina posted in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on the social media site, as she revealed the contents of her box.
The image revealed she had received a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, Bluetooth on-ear headphones, a charging and date cable, a pair of nail clippers, some performance underwear, a pair of ski gloves and a thermal hybrid jacket.
In addition, she nabbed a voucher for a free dehumidifier.
Gushing about her purchase, Nina wrote: “Wow!! Lidl Mystery box.
“Got a ticket inside for an extra item and got a dehumidifier coming next week now too.
“Definitely worth the £20!!”
When she was bombarded with questions from people asking how she managed to get her hands on the box, she wrote: “They sold out on the day of release.
“Seems I’ve been lucky not only getting the mystery box but also getting the card inside too for an extra item!
“I’ll keep you all updated when it turns up.”
The boxes were each filled with over £100 worth of ‘middle of Lidl’ products, and were released at 10am on 15th August, and sold out in minutes.
In addition, coupons for an additional product, worth up to £199, were in 50 of the boxes.
All the proceeds of the boxes were donated to the NSPCC.
Gemma was also one of the lucky 1,000 people who got their hands on a mystery box, and took to the Facebook group to share snaps of hers.
While she also got the Dolce Gusto coffee machine and a pair of Bluetooth on-ear headphones, she also receives a pizza baking set, a DAB Kitchen radio, a keyboard, a nail file set, a pair of swimming goggles, a pair of socks, a T-shirt and a knitted fleece jacket.
“My £20 Lidl mystery box arrived today, curious to see what other people got?” she wrote.
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.
“Wow what a good box!” one person commented on the post.
“I was gutted it sold out before I got chance to check out!”
“I was in the ‘checkout queue’ for ages, then it kicked me out and said no longer available,” another sighed.
As a third revealed that “people are selling them on eBay for £65″.
