A BARGAIN hunter revealed he was surprised to discover you can get it money outside your store in Lidl simply bringing your trash back to the supermarket.
The woman showed how she recycled her old cans in a machine – and that gave her a voucher to spend at Lidl.

In it @patsyslife2023 account, she wrote: “Lidl has a recycling point where we take our cans and bottles that we have kept for 2 weeks.
“We received £2.45 off our shopping bill.
“Amazing for the environment and good for my food bill.”
The woman showed how she took a bag of old cans to Lidl and put them one by one into the machine.
She added: “5 cents per can or plastic bottle (no multipack cans or bottles as these must have a barcode.”
After adding five plastic bottles and 42 cans, the screen showed she had accumulated £2.45 to spend.
The machine printed her a receipt with a barcode that she could scan at the register and it would come out of her account.
She added that the total wasn’t much, but said: “Every little bit helps.
“I’m happy to invest £2.45 towards my shopping. I got bread and milk from it.”
Many people were impressed, with one saying, “Great idea.”
Another added: “I don’t understand why England Don’t start using them!!! I had no idea they didn’t exist in the UK when I came here.”
However, one wrote: “the money back is too small for people to care.”
The Lidl Returns Scheme is currently being trialled in Glasgow, Scotlandin several stores.
The website states: “The Lidl Take Back Scheme is a voluntary take-back scheme for certain drinks containers sold to consumers in Scotland that are made from polyethylene terephthalate plastic (PET plastic) and aluminium.
“Instead of receiving a voucher, the customer can choose to make a charity Donation.
“The value of the charitable donation will be calculated in the same way as a voucher.
“The recipient of the charitable donation is STV Children’s Appeal.”

Why Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped at Aldi or Lidl, you’ve probably experienced their lightning-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s fast reputation isn’t a mistake; in fact, the supermarket claims its tills are 40% faster than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget store claims, helps keep costs down for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging mean staff can scan items as quickly as possible, with most products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging, which keeps costs low when replenishing stock.
