Collect discount coupons, wait for promotions, reach the minimum purchase - a lot has to be done for many offers.
But with a tip you can even get a free gift from the discounter Lidl.
"Mhh delicious," says a child in the checkout area of the discounter Lidl.
"It's good that it was your birthday, mum," she adds and munches a piece of sweet contentedly.
But the mother didn't buy the donut because Lidl gave it to her.
When asked, the customer explains: “I have the Lidl Plus app, there are always good offers there.” This time she got off particularly well because: “For my birthday, three days ago, Lidl showed me birthday wishes and I have get a present.”
Donuts or donuts for free for a birthday: Lidl gives customers a product as a gift
"Either a Berliner or a donut", that's what the mother could choose free of charge as a present for her birthday.
When asked by Lidl,
echo24.de learned
that "all registered app users will receive a congratulations coupon for their birthday".
But that's not entirely true: Experience has shown that customers must have made at least one purchase where they scanned the QR code, i.e. showed the app in the checkout area.
Lidl does not want to "confirm this information so far", because there is no feedback on it.

Offer for active Lidl Plus users: Free gift when shopping
All active Lidl Plus app users will receive “a Berliner or a donut nationwide free of charge in a Lidl branch within ten days”.
The coupon only has to be “activated” in the app.
When shopping, customers take a Berliner or a donut from the self-service area of the baked goods, activate the coupon either then or in advance and then show the app during the payment process.
Incidentally, the app also offers a gift for new members of the family.
Changing promotional coupons and special offers: Easter, advent calendar and more
If you haven't used the app yet and just had a birthday, you don't have to wait a whole year for a gift.
Because: There are always offers for customers.
Lidl explains that in addition to the "weekly changing special offer coupons, special offer coupons" such as the app "Advent Calendar" or the "Easter Roulette" are offered.
Some grocery stores are currently in a price war: there is a so-called discount battle with butter – Lidl, Aldi and Kaufland are involved.
You may also be able to get hold of butter at a bargain price here.
But if you generally want to save when shopping, you can pay attention to the right time of day for shopping as well as the day of the week.
