Lidl shoppers reveal trick to get ‘hidden' freebies – and you don't need to spend anything

LIDL shoppers say they've been getting hidden freebies through the discount supermarket's loyalty app. Customers have been raving about the free finds they've managed to get through the Lidl Plus app, including doughnuts, fresh fruit and pasta. 2 One shopper managed to get all of these items for free through the app Credit: Facebook/ Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK 2 This shopper saved more than £10 by using the Coupons Plus feature Credit: Facebook/ Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK It's all through the app's Coupon Plus feature, which lets shoppers unlock rewards and freebies when they spend. Several shoppers have been sharing their bargains on the Another shared a photo of a receipt showing they had got muffins, a punnet of strawberries and pasta. "All free with my Lidl coupon plus rewards," they said proudly. Read more on Lidl A third person said they had got coupons for free fruit, veg and a bakery item on their app despite not spending anything at Lidl yet this month. A fourth said they received a free kilo punnet of strawberries. Lidl has said the coupons in its app are tailor-made for each customer based on their shopping habits. To get the vouchers you should head to the Coupons Plus section of the app and make sure you activate the coupons before you head to the till. Most read in Money The offers seem to change over time but one example is getting a free bakery sweet treat when you spend £10 in a month. Shoppers have also shared an extra little-known tip that can help you get the most out of your coupons. Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel One social media user said that when you have a free item in the coupons section of the app, you should click on the picture of the item and scroll down to where it says 'item number'. If you click on this, it should show you the complete list of any items you can claim for free with the coupon. That means you're not just limited to the free item seen in the picture. What other offers can you get through the Lidl Plus app? If it's your birthday you can get a free doughnut from the Lidl bakery section. There's no minimum spend required and the coupon is valid for seven days from your birthday. All you need to do to get the offer is register your birthday when you initially sign up to the app. Other offers you can get through the Lidl Plus app include a 10% off voucher when you spend £250 in-store in a month. This could be particularly helpful for larger families doing their weekly shops at Lidl. There is also currently a chance to win £5,000 through the app. Shoppers who spend £30 in one transaction with Lidl Plus from now until June 18 will be entered into a draw to win the cash. One winner will be announced every day and you can enter multiple times. Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

Car makers 'in full panic' over rare-earths shortage amid China's export controls

Frank Eckard, chief executive of a German magnet maker, has been fielding a flood of calls in recent weeks. Exasperated car makers and parts suppliers have been desperate to find alternative sources of magnets, which are in short supply due to Chinese export curbs. Some told Eckard their factories could be idled by mid-July without backup magnet supplies. "The whole car industry is in full panic," said Eckard, chief executive of Magnosphere, based in Troisdorf, Germany. "They are willing to pay any price." Car executives have once again been driven into their war rooms, concerned China's tight export controls on rare-earth magnets — crucially needed to make cars — could cripple production. US president Donald Trump said on Friday that Chinese president Xi Jinping agreed to let rare earths minerals and magnets flow to the United States. A US trade team was scheduled to meet Chinese counterparts for talks in London on Monday. The industry worries the rare-earths situation could cascade into the third massive supply chain shock in five years. A semiconductor shortage wiped away millions of cars from car makers' production plans, from roughly 2021 to 2023. Before that, the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 shut factories for weeks. Those crises prompted the industry to fortify supply chain strategies. Executives have prioritized backup supplies for key components and reexamined the use of just-in-time inventories, which save money but can leave them without stockpiles when a crisis unfurls. This time, as the rare-earths bottleneck tightens, the industry has few good options, given the extent to which China dominates the market. The fate of car makers' assembly lines has been left to a small team of Chinese bureaucrats as it reviews hundreds of applications for export permits. Several European auto-supplier plants have already shut down, with more outages coming, said the region's auto supplier association, Clepa. "Sooner or later, this will confront everyone," said Clepa secretary-general Benjamin Krieger. Cars today use rare-earths-based motors in dozens of components — side mirrors, stereo speakers, oil pumps, windshield wipers, and sensors for fuel leakage and braking sensors. China controls up to 70% of global rare-earths mining, 85% of refining capacity and about 90% of rare-earths metal alloy and magnet production, consultancy AlixPartners said. The average electric vehicle uses about 0.5kg of rare earths elements, and a fossil-fuel car uses just half that, according to the International Energy Agency. China has clamped down before, including in a 2010 dispute with Japan, during which it curbed rare-earths exports. Japan had to find alternative suppliers, and by 2018, China accounted for only 58% of its rare earth imports. General Motors and BMW and major suppliers such as ZF and BorgWarner are working on motors with low-to-zero rare-earth content, but few have managed to scale production enough to cut costs. The EU has launched initiatives including the Critical Raw Materials Act to boost European rare-earth sources. But it has not moved fast enough, said Noah Barkin, a senior adviser at Rhodium Group, a China-focused US think tank. Even players that have developed marketable products struggle to compete with Chinese producers on price. David Bender, co-head of German metal specialist Heraeus' magnet recycling business, said it was only operating at 1% capacity and would have to close next year if sales do not increase.
