LIDL has launched a totally new way to shop online and you can buy £30 worth of items for just £5.
The German discounter will begin selling products on TikTok shop from this Thursday.
Fitness fanatics will be able to shop the retailers protein and gym range through the shopping feature on the popular social media app.
As part of the offer, savvy shoppers have a chance to pick up a bundle of nine products, which would typically retail for £30 for just £5.
The items include:
The items are part of Lidl‘s high-protein products which are available to also shop in store.
Those keen to get their hands on the fitness bundle will have to act fast.
That’s because Lidl will only release 3,000 of the bundles for sale via the @LidlGB TikTok account.
It will go live at 9am and will be done on a first come first serve basis.
If you miss out you can shop for the products at your nearest available Lidl, but you will have to pay for each of them individually.
It’s always worth noting that Lidl’s TikTok shop presence won’t last for very long.
The brand said it will be a temporary pop-up venture, with all proceeds going to charity partner, the NSPCC.
Lidl often runs promotions which give customers the chance to grab limited edition boxes at a low price.
Ahead of Valentine’s Day, it released a bargain Valentine’s Day box with £60 worth of items for just £5.
Back in August, the discount supermarket launched a Lidl mystery box which included £199 worth of items for just £20.
Like the beauty box, a limited number were released online for customers to snap up.
It included everything from a musical keyboard and an electric toothbrush.
Last May, the budget supermarket also launched £2 beauty box, which was also a hit with shoppers.
TikTok has exploded in popularity since its launch in the UK 2018, with over 20million people now using the app.
Around four years ago, the site launched a shopping feature which lets users by a range of products from clothing to cleaning products.
If you have the app, finding the shopping feature is pretty straightforward.
Simply click on the small basket at the bottom of the site, and it will take you to the feature.
Many UK brands such as ASOS and Cult Beauty sell their goods to customers via TikTok.
You can also bulk buy products such as washing up liquid or toilet roll.
There are hundreds of products to shop on the website but it is important to read product reviews to ensure what you are buying is as described.
Like online shopping, you can use either Apple Pay, a credit or debit card or PayPal.
Lidl reduces items at the start of the day and the best deals can be found between 7am to 8am, when most stores open.
Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more.
Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also does its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain booze.
Everyone knows about the “Middle of Lidl” – it’s here where you’ll find a load of random stuff that you didn’t realise you need, at decent prices.
But if you’re hoping to avoid spending more than you planned, you can check what will be in the “Middle of Lidl” on the supermarket’s website in advance.
The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday.
Shoppers can also keep tabs on what’s appearing in the “Pick of the Week” section on the Lidl website.
The discounts happen every Thursday and are usually on fruit, vegetables and meat.
EVERY penny, Labour vowed, will now be scrutinised to get value for taxpayers.
But Britain is currently so skint, they said, we must freeze your income tax thresholds yet again and hammer your employers for a jobs tax.
We must strip hard-up OAPs of their winter fuel payment and fleece farmers for inheritance tax, even if it jeopardises their food businesses.
And, no, we cannot set a deadline to spend 2.5 per cent of our GDP on defence, even if Keir Starmer IS pledging British boots on the ground in Ukraine.
Today, though, The Sun reveals how millions ARE available for “research” into the wokest imaginable frivolity.
A million for a university to probe “intersectional inclusion”, another million for “inclusive histories”, £200,000 to study TikTok dancing, £247,132 on some impenetrable nonsense about “queerness” in animals.
This profligacy and more by the UK Research and Innovation quango is on top of the BILLIONS in supposed “foreign aid” being blown on sickeningly spurious grounds.
No Government can plead poverty on defence with this borderline criminal squandering of taxpayers’ hard-earned cash rife in the public sector.
Why is Labour not scything through it Elon Musk-style — spending it where we really need or giving it back in tax cuts to kick-start our stagnant economy?
SICK of terror attacks and other atrocities, the public wants politicians to be tough on all crime.
Politicians pledge to be so and get elected. Some even fulfil those promises.
But a predictably limp report by the Government-appointed “Independent Sentencing Review” blames them and the Press for Britain’s jails overflowing.
It’s the fault of “populists”, buckling haphazardly to media pressure to do as voters demand.
The study says jail terms are too common and too long, that prison often doesn’t work and there is an “over-reliance on a tough-on-crime narrative”.
Panel chairman David Gauke, the liberal ex-Tory, presumably favours a “soft on crime” narrative.
But the real problem is that successive Governments, the Tories especially, failed to build more prisons as our existing ones became overcrowded hellholes.
Mass immigration has placed an extra burden on them and cells are full of foreign criminals we seem unable to deport.
And the reality is jail DOES work.
Freed prisoners may frequently reoffend . . . but at least they can’t harm innocent people when behind bars.
That may upset hand-wringing liberals whose cosseted lives are untouched by crime.
The public want to be safe. They cannot be blamed for that. Nor can Governments for doing what they ask.
Don’t pretend that prisons don’t work. Build more.

KEN Barlow is rushed to hospital in shocking Coronation Street scenes after collapsing in agony – but what’s behind his sudden health scare?
As the iconic character faces a life-threatening crisis, could this be the turning point that uncovers Cassie’s web of lies?
Next week in Coronation Street, Cassie gets a text saying her shiny new iPad is on its way – but she’s quick to keep it under wraps from Steve.
Later, when Fiz heads into town for some shopping, Cassie plays the hayfever card, asking her to grab some antihistamines.
But is she really sniffling… or scheming?
Cassie cheekily orders two pricey designer juicers under Ken’s name – but is her scam about to unravel?
She’s thrilled when Steve suggests lunch at the Bistro, unaware that back at home, Ken’s eyes snap open the moment she sneaks out.
Has he finally rumbled her?
Meanwhile, as Steve gushes to Amy about his feelings for Cassie, disaster strikes – Ken reaches for the phone but suddenly collapses in agony.
Will help arrive in time?
Cassie pays Ken a visit in the hospital, but is he any closer to exposing her devious ways?
With every passing moment, the tension builds – is this the moment Ken finally catches on, or will Cassie continue to play her dangerous game?
Viewers of the ITV soap know that Cassie was spiking Ken’s tea and was caught in the act by youngster Bertie.
Cassie then bribed Bertie to stay quiet with a brand new toy on his birthday, but he let slip to Daisy about what he saw.
Ringing alarm bells, Daisy informed Daniel about what Bertie told her.
However, Daniel shrugged it off thinking Bertie must have misunderstood and was convinced Cassie was putting in a sweetener.
Will he regret overlooking Bertie’s observation?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig’s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.
Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
Luca Toolan – Mason Radcliffe
Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.
Sue Devaney – Debbie Webster
In November 2024, we revealed that Debbie Webster is set to be killed off after 40 years on the cobbles. The character will die as part of a heartbreaking long-running dementia storyline.
Charlotte Jordan – Daisy Midgeley
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
Shelley King – Yasmeen Metcalfe
The actress has played Yasmeen Metcalfe on the cobbles for the past 11 years and we revealed in January that she finished filming her final scenes. This follows the departure of her on-screen partner Stu Carpenter.
