Lidl’s real Christmas trees have launched & prices start from £12 -there’s even a fir you can keep & use again next year
LIDL fans are in for a treat as the budget supermarket has launched its real Christmas trees, with prices starting at just £12.
The festive period is now in full swing, and many of us will be choosing the weekend to deck the halls with our favourite decorations.
Putting up the Christmas tree is one of the most special times of the year for many families, and there’s nothing better than putting on a bit of Michael Bublé and enjoying a Bailey’s whilst adorning the tree.
Some opt to pull out the same artificial tree from the loft each year, whilst others prefer the festive scent that a real tree brings to the living room.
And although buying a new tree every year can be expensive, Lidl‘s budget prices mean that the tradition is affordable for everyone.
The cheapest Lidl tree available is the Christmas Tree in Hessian Sack, which is priced at £11.99.
The adorable miniature tree is shrouded in a rustic hessian sack, and is perfect for adorning table tops.
Lidl shoppers can also get their hands on a large 190-210cm tree for £26.99 and a medium 160-180cm tree for £16.99.
And for Brits keen to reuse their tree year after year, Lidl is also offering a Pot Grown Christmas Tree, which can be taken care of throughout the year, and then used again next Christmas.
Customers can even track where their trees came from, using Lidl’s Tree Tracker.
Lidl is continuing to bring festive joy to Brits across the country with its Christmas Freeway truck.
This year marks the first time Lidl has launched the truck, which is making nine stops nationwide, offering fans of the popular discount chain a chance to join in the festivities.
The first 250 visitors at each stop can grab a free box of Middle of Lidl goodies, and 1 in 10 boxes will contain a “Golden Ticket” worth £100 towards a Lidl Christmas food shop.
Guests can also sample treats like panettone, snowmallows, and alcohol-free mulled wine or step inside the Magical Wish-mas Booth to share holiday wishes and win Lidl Plus goodies with the Secret Boxes game.
The remaining dates and locations for the truck are as follows:
- Luton – November 28
- Bournemouth – November 30
- Southampton – December 1
The Christmas Freeway truck will be at the above locations from 12pm to 6pm, and shoppers can track its route here.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
You’ll have to be quick, though, as the middle aisle items are being handed out on a first-come-first-serve basis.
To have the chance to bag the “Golden Ticket” worth a whopping £100, customers need to sign up for the Lidl app.
Shoppers can download it for free on their smartphone via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
It’s worth noting that the £100 voucher coupons can’t be used to buy alcohol, infant formula or gift cards.
The supermarket chain said visitors to the truck can also make a “wish” for something they want this Christmas, with the retailer granting a number of them.
