- Lidl GB announces a £250 million price-cut investment to help shoppers save more ahead of Christmas
- Prices dropped on over 1,000 everyday products this year since Jan, with more savings rolling out
- Discounter reveals Christmas opening hours and shares top tips to help shoppers beat the festive rush
Lidl GB has today announced a £250m investment in cutting prices of everyday items, helping shoppers save even more in the run-up to Christmas.
Lidl is committed to providing customers with great quality at the lowest possible prices. That’s why the discounter has reduced prices on over 1,000 product lines since the start of this year. This latest investment gives shoppers even more to value – whether it’s an exciting new addition to the weekly dinner plan or a welcome surprise when it’s needed most.
This investment complements Lidl Plus, the only loyalty rewards scheme offered by a discounter. The app enhances the customer experience with features and campaigns that go beyond standard promotions. It gives shoppers the chance to bag bargains on some of their favourite products, with new coupons landing each week. Customers are rewarded for their spending at Lidl – from a free in-store bakery sweet treat when spending just £10 in a month, to an incredible 10% off their next shop when they reach £250. Additionally, the discounter’s ‘Pick of the Week’ gives customers weekly in-store offers on fruit, veg, meat and poultry. Lidl delivers even more savings on top of its already low prices.
Value is so much more than a price tag. In addition to the latest investment in pricing, Lidl was named 2025 Grocer of the Year at the Grocer Gold Awards and Supermarket of the Year at the Retail Industry Awards. It has also earned a range of accolades, including taste test awards – further proof that Lidl is a retailer that puts value and quality first.
Richard Bourns, Chief Commercial Officer at Lidl GB, said: “We’re committed to providing our customers with the best value every single day, and our teams work tirelessly throughout the year to deliver this for them. We also firmly believe that everyone should have access to healthy affordable food, which is why we ensure that we’re offering the lowest prices in the market and it’s why we’re on a mission to bring new Lidl stores to more communities across the country.”
To make more of the festive season, Lidl has also shared its tips to help shoppers navigate the busy festive season. Revealing its opening hours, Lidl confirms that all of its stores in GB will be closed on Christmas Day and most stores will also remain closed on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day*. Customers are also encouraged to check their local store’s opening hours on the online store finder or through the Lidl Plus app.
Additionally, Lidl has shared its insights into the busiest times to shop to help shoppers plan ahead. As the discounter continues to grow in popularity, remaining the fastest-growing bricks-and-mortar grocer for over two years running, it predicts its busiest trading day will be Monday 22nd December. Lidl is also advising shoppers who want to avoid the crowds in the middle of the day, to plan their shops between 8am and 10am or from 6pm onwards, which Lidl data showed to be the quietest times in store.
*Most stores outside the M25 and Wales will be shut for Boxing Day and all stores outside the M25 will be closed on New Year’s Day
