There are supposed offers lurking on every corner in supermarkets and discounters.
Now a customer at Lidl makes a sobering discovery.
Munich – As a result of inflation, many foods in supermarkets and discounters have become more expensive.
According to the Federal Statistical Office, the inflation rate in July was expected to be 6.2 percent.
Food prices, on the other hand, rose 11 percent above average in July compared to the same month last year.
Therefore, consumers are likely to pay more attention to money when shopping.
Many people therefore use offers and discount campaigns to stock up on food.
At the discounter giant Lidl, a supposed bargain turned out to be a discount scam.

Lidl customer is amazed at the discount scam: “I just wanted to take it”
It is well known that retailers try to lure customers into their stores using a variety of tricks.
Price tags in bright colors, colorful information and long walking distances are intended to entice you to buy.
But consumers don't always save money with the supposed bargains.
An alleged bargain also caused confusion at Aldi.
A customer at Lidl discovered such an offer - but only at second glance.
“Your serious Lidl, I just wanted to take it,” wrote the customer on the short message service Twitter.
She also published a picture of an obvious price hit.
This Lidl offer seemed questionable to a customer.

Discount trap at Lidl causes reactions on Twitter
A gaudy price tag gave the impression that customers would save a lot of money when buying Actimel.
However, upon closer inspection it becomes clear that the product was only one cent cheaper than the crossed-out recommended retail price (RRP).
The XXL Actimel pack should cost 3.88 euros instead of 3.89.
So the savings here weren't particularly big.

The discount scam also caused reactions in the Twitter community.
“Snap,” one user joked.
“I just saw it too,” said another, shocked.
The discounter itself has not yet commented on this in the article.
We can only hope that customers actually save money with the next offer.
While shopping, an Edeka customer also reacted angrily to an offer of chips.
An Aldi customer also made a strange price tag discovery.
