Corona mouthguard: Offers from Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, Real - it is the cheapest here

Corona mouthguards are now available from Aldi, Lidl, Real, Rewe and Co. Here you will find the cheapest offers in comparison.

• In Germany there is an obligation to wear face masks and  protective masks in retail and local public transport
• The obligation to wear a mask is intended to limit the spread of corona *
• At Aldi *, Lidl , Real, Rewe * and Co. masks can be bought - but where they are most preiswertesten? 
  

Update from Monday, May 11th, 2020, 10:26 am: In the meantime, many discounters have started selling masks , but where can you get the masks at the cheapest price. Lidl's offer , which has been valid since April 30, 2020, is likely to offer the best price-performance ratio.

Here, 50 pieces of the disposable masks cost 33 euros, which corresponds to a unit price of just 66 cents. But what if the approx. 14 million masks in the 3,200 Lidl branches are sold out? Then the competitor Aldi Süd also offers an inexpensive offer in its current range.

At Aldi Süd , masks are sold in packs of 10 for 6.99 euros. Here the converted single price is only 3 cents higher, i.e. 69 cents, than in Lidl's cost distribution .

Corona mouthguard: Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, Real - A mail order company is more expensive than the competition in retail

But it is also cheaper. Rewe , Penny and Toom have been selling masks in packs of 25 for EUR 16.99 since May 2nd . The calculated unit price is therefore below that of the competition from southern Germany.

In the north of the republic, too, department stores have an extra mask range. The 50-pack at Famila costs an impressive 39.99 euros. Here the calculated unit price is just under 80 cents. In retail comparison, only the real discount store is more expensive. He has announced to offer the 20-pack mask for 19.99 euros from May 11th .

The most expensive retail masks therefore cost 99 cents each. Only Otto, the mail order company, currently surpasses this . Packs of 5 are sold here for 11.25 euros. Otto therefore demands 2.25 euros per piece, which is definitely the negative tip in our ranking.

Corona mouthguard: Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, Real - here you can buy masks

Update from Wednesday, April 29, 2020, 11:15 a.m .: Lidl sells disposable masks from Thursday (April 30 , 2020 ) at cost price in times of Corona . This means that the discounter does not make a profit, but the price only covers the manufacturing and distribution costs. 

The masks are offered in a 50-pack for 33 euros each while stocks last. Lidl is thus reacting  to the mask requirement in Germany that has been in force since Monday (April 27, 2020) . The masks are to be offered in all Lidl branches throughout Germany . One package is issued for each purchase and customer. 

According to a press release, the discounter would also like to  offer reusable masks in the range, for example made of fabric. The goal is that as many people as possible have access to a mask to protect against the corona virus .
