I bagged a 39p pizza meal deal at Lidl thanks to a clever lunch hack – it gets me bargain breakfasts too
WHEN it comes to the nation's favourite lunch deals, not much beats a classic meal deal.
And now one woman has revealed how you can get one from Lidl for just 39p.

For this purse-friendly price, she manages to get a drink and pizza, or a different baked good of her choosing.
Considering Tesco meal deal offering 's is £4 (or £3.60 with a clubcard) and Boots' is £3.99 outside of London, it is certainly a steal.
Savvy shopper Beth, who posts under @bargainbeth, shared her Lidl hack in a video which has racked up over 2,500 likes.
She revealed that all you need to do is buy a drink from Lidl, and you can get a free bakery item if you scan the Lidl Plus card.
And it doesn't have to be a drink - it can just be the cheapest item you can find in store.
The Lidl website explained the deal, saying: 'The Lidl Plus Bakery Spin is back to add an extra sprinkle of sweetness to your day.
'From 31 July - 20 August, do your shop, scan your Lidl Plus app at the checkout and get one daily spin of your in-app wheel of surprises.
'Once you spin, you'll receive a FREE coupon for a selected bakery item – and the icing on the cake is, everyone wins – mmmmagic!'
Beth posted how she was hoping to get pizza and scoured the shelves to find the cheapest drink to go with it.
After looking at 90p ginger shots, a 79p mango drink, and a latte for 69p, she eventually found an orange juice for 39p.
I'll never step foot in a supermarket to do my food shop again
She shared: 'I spotted one that's even better, and that's this orange energising water for a mere 39p.
'That's a meal deal for 39p, pizza and a drink.'
She was so impressed with the deal that she said she wasn't just going to use it for lunch.

She added that next time she was going to try and find the cheapest breakfast in Lidl - and said the free bakery spin resets daily.
Many fellow bargain hunters were hugely impressed with the Lidl 'meal deal', with one saying: 'Genius!!'
Another added: 'I won a pizza and croissant yum!'
However, one pointed out: 'Where's the snack?'
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.
