Lidl to slash prices of bakery items including croissants
A number of items included within the bakery range will be reduced in price, including the almond croissant and pain au chocolate.
This is to celebrate it being crowned the UK's No.1 in-store bakery.
Lidl topped an online survey carried out by Opinium Research in February of 2,000 adults, asking what supermarket bakery they found to be the best.
A post shared by Lidl GB (@lidlgb)
In a statement announcing the reduction in price, Lidl said: "Shoppers will be able to bake the most of savings across 11 bakery favourites, including the undisputed queen of pastries - the All Butter Croissant - weighing in at a delicious 59p.
"Meanwhile, chocoholics can get their fill for just 69p, courtesy of a price drop across Lidl's much-loved All Butter Pain Au Chocolat, Chocolate Twist and Chocolate Hazelnut Croissant.
"And, for the same price, shoppers can also go nuts for the Pain Aux Raisin, Almond Croissant, and Maple and Pecan Plait."
A new item in the Apple Turnover, which will be introduced on Friday, April 25, will also be included in the price-cutting.
It will be available for 69p compared to its standard RRP of 75p.
The full list of items that will have their prices lowered are:

Aldi to launch £3.99 version of viral ‘Dubai chocolate' bars – and it's cheaper than Morrisons
ALDI is set to launch its own version of the wildly popular Dubai-style chocolate bar. The indulgent treat features layers of rich pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry, all encased in smooth milk chocolate. 1 Aldi is selling a Dubai Chocolate Style bar Inspired by the viral sensation that took social media by storm, this 100g bar offers a luxurious taste experience without the hefty price tag. It will be hitting Aldi shelves across the UK on Thursday, June 12, for just £3.99. With no purchase limits, shoppers can stock up on this affordable delight. But, as with all Aldi Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone. Other supermarkets have also jumped on the Dubai chocolate trend. Lidl previously offered its JD Gross Dubai-Style Chocolate bar for also £3.99, which sold out rapidly. Waitrose introduced a No.1 White Chocolate with Pistachio Nuts & Sea Salt bar priced at £2.75, offering a sweet and salty twist on the classic. Morrisons sells the Bolci Dubai Chocolate With Pistachio Kadayif Filled Milk Chocolate at £5 for a 100g bar. Lindt's take on the trend is a 145g Dubai-Style Chocolate bar filled with pistachio and kadayif pastry, retailing at £10. But at £3.99, Aldi's will be the cheapest in stores. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon Its always worth checking around different stores to compare prices and land the best deal. Websites like Google Shopping, PriceSpy, and Idealo can be invaluable tools for this. They allow you to track price histories and compare offerings across various retailers, ensuring you get the most bang for your buck. SAVE MONEY AT ALDI Keeping your eyes peeled for cheap Specialbuys is just one way to save money at Aldi. The supermarket often comes out cheapest for a smaller trolley of items in Which? surveys as well, including in April. The consumer website recently found a shopping list of 79 items would have cost you £135.95 on average across the month. Rival Lidl was close behind, with the same shop costing £136.64, if you had a Lidl Plus card. It's worth keeping an eye out for any red sticker products too, which are added to items going out of date or that are slightly damaged. Aldi tends to add them to items in the morning so it's best to get to your local branch early if you want to get the best discounts. Take advantage of Aldi's cheap alcohol which could save you some cash compared to going with branded versions. Look out for Too Good to Go "Surprise Bags" as well.

How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
