Lidl reveals new 79p bakery treat and shoppers are obsessed
But now there's a new star in town (or on shelves) and it will only cost you 79p - plus, a popular sweet treat is making a return.
The budget-friendly supermarket has unveiled a brand-new Strawberry Cheesecake Doughnut which will be available for patisserie lovers for a limited time only.
Lidl launches new limited-edition 79p cheesecake doughnut
Lidl's new 79p addition to its iconic bakery has soft, creamy, fruity icing on top and is made with sugar-dusted dough.
The Strawberry Cheesecake Doughnut is said to balance tangy strawberry notes with rich cheesecake flavour.
Customers have already taken to social media to share their thoughts with one saying 'these are quality' and are a 'bargain' compared to similar Krispy Kreme items.
Others who have discovered the fruity and "fluffy" doughnut said Lidl has 'upped its game' and the latest bakery addition is 'delicious'.
Meanwhile, bakery fanatics will see the nationwide return of Cheesecake Brownie (89p), back by popular demand.
The gooey treat has a fudgy brownie base layered with cheesecake and a chocolate drizzle.
The new bakery delights come as Lidl's limited-edition bakery goods continue to prove a hit with fans, following its latest launch, the Chocolate Brioche Croissant.
Made as a combined croissant and brioche bun with golden pastry, filled with gooey milk chocolate on the inside and piped chocolate on the outside, it was described as being 'out of this world' by fans on TikTok.

Pret A Manger ‘considering stake sale ahead of possible flotation'
The owner of Pret A Manger is reportedly considering selling a stake in the sandwich chain ahead of a potential stock market flotation. Luxembourg-based JAB Holding – which bought Pret for £1.5 billion in 2018 – told the Financial Times that while it was not 'currently' considering a stake sale in Pret, it could look at the move with an initial public offering (IPO) in its sights. 'As we move closer to a potential IPO, we may evaluate bringing on a pre-IPO investor,' it told the FT. It is thought to mark the first time Pret has publicly confirmed IPO plans for Pret. JAB – which also owns Krispy Kreme and Keurig Dr Pepper – announced last month it had hired hospitality industry stalwart Jose Cil as chairman of Pret's board. Mr Cil was most recently chief executive of Burger King owner Restaurant Brands International, which also owns chains including Popeyes. JAB has been contacted for comment. Pret recently announced it was dropping plans for a doubling of its current £5 monthly subscription for up to five coffees a day as it looks to retain customers against a difficult consumer spending backdrop. The group had previously told subscribers that their subscription would increase to £10 a month from March 31, when a '50% off' deal ended. It followed Pret overhauling its £360-a-year subscription in July last year in favour of 50% off up to five coffees a day for £10 a month. The chain also removed a 20% discount on food for subscribers to end dual pricing – 'something we never really got comfortable with', it said at the time. Under the old deal that lasted for almost four years, Club Pret membership offered up to five barista-made drinks daily for a monthly fee of £30. Pret is headed up by chief executive Pano Christou, who was promoted to the top job in 2019. The firm opened its first shop in London in 1986, where the company remains headquartered. It now has 700 shops worldwide with around 12,500 employees across 21 markets.

Does your employee really need a degree to do the job?

In the case of Norman v Lidl Great Britain Ltd, a man in his sixties, who was a senior construction consultant for Lidl, was responsible for overseeing the construction, alteration and refurbishment of regional stores. Following a reduction in new store openings and redevelopments, Wayne Norman was placed into a pool of three senior construction consultants as part of a redundancy process because only one role was available under Lidl's new structure. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The company used a scoring exercise to determine which employees would be selected for redundancy, based on experience, knowledge, skills, disciplinary record work delivery and managing workload. The knowledge criteria were partially scored on whether the employee had a construction degree, which Mr Norman didn't. He scored only one point less than his colleague in his 30s, who had a college degree and secured the position. Retirement in the energy sector is a big issue for workforce planning (Picture: Mr Norman did not apply for any alternative employment as he believed there was a requirement to have a degree to be eligible for any of the available vacancies. He raised an employment tribunal claim against Lidl for indirect age discrimination, alongside several other claims. The indirect age discrimination part of his claim was successful, based on the tribunal's acceptance of the premise that workers over the age of 60 are less likely to have a degree than those in their thirties. Lidl was able to show that although qualifications were part of the matrix, those scoring were not influenced by the degree status of the employees. Even if the matrix had excluded degree considerations the scores would have been the same and Mr Norman's compensation was reduced in recognition of this. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It was unfortunate for Lidl that the inclusion of holding a degree on the matrix didn't reflect Lidl's true opinion that the holding of a degree wasn't of particular value to the role. Gillian Harrington, Partner and specialist in employment law at Pinsent Masons Mr Norman had also brought an age claim based on his perception that suitable alternative employment at Lidl required a degree. However, the tribunal said it was clear from the job descriptions that a person might be able to demonstrate the necessary experience through their work and without the need for that experience to have been gained through the award of a relevant degree. This case involved a construction role, but lessons can be learned for other sectors, like the energy sector. Retirement in the energy sector is also a big issue for workforce planning. In the UK, one fifth of energy workers are expected to have exited the sector by 2030. While many employers will want to encourage a pipeline of workers to replace potential retirees, retirement exits do represent a loss of valuable talent. This case also highlights the importance of employers making clear in all employment processes what value a degree really holds and considering whether a degree is necessary for a particular role. Of course, some roles may always require a degree or equivalent qualification pathway, such as senior engineering roles.
