Lidl Waste Not Fruit & Veg Boxes
You can grab a 5kg box of fresh fruit and vegetables for just £1.50 at Lidl. These boxes include produce that might have slight bruises or discolouration but are still perfectly good to eat.
Buying these boxes helps reduce food waste by giving perfectly edible items a second chance. They usually sell out quickly, so it’s best to visit early in the day.
If the boxes aren’t sold within the first two hours, Lidl donates them to local food charities, making sure nothing goes to waste. You can learn more about this initiative at the Lidl Too Good To Waste page.
Lidl Fresh Milk with new labelling
You’ll notice Lidl has replaced the ‘Use By’ dates on its fresh milk with ‘Best Before’ dates. This change gives you a bit more flexibility, encouraging you to check your milk by smell and appearance rather than just the date.
It helps reduce food waste because milk that’s still good won’t need to be thrown away prematurely. The new labels started appearing in stores across England and Wales in December 2023, so you might already have some in your fridge.
This small change lets you make better use of your milk without the stress of strict expiry dates. For more details, see Lidl’s new labelling approach.
Lidl Yoghurt with updated expiry labels
You’ll notice Lidl has changed the way yoghurt expiry dates are shown. Instead of “use by” dates, the labels now say “best before.”
This change helps you decide when yoghurt is still good to eat, reducing the chance of throwing away perfectly fine food.
It gives you more flexibility to enjoy your yoghurt without rushing because the “best before” date indicates quality rather than safety.
By switching to clearer labels, Lidl is making it easier for you to reduce waste and get the most from your groceries.

Too Good to Waste boxes
You can grab a Lidl Too Good to Waste box for just £1.50. Each box usually contains around 5kg of fruit and vegetables that might look a bit imperfect but are still perfectly fine to eat.
These boxes help you save money while also reducing food waste. They tend to sell out quickly, so keep an eye out on your next visit.
Lidl’s Freshness Specialists carefully select the produce, ensuring you get good quality items at a bargain. It’s a simple way to enjoy fresh groceries and do your bit for the planet.

£1.50 chilled fruit and veg boxes
You can grab a 5kg box of chilled fruit and vegetables from Lidl for just £1.50. These boxes contain items that might have slight imperfections or be close to their best-before date but are still perfectly good to eat.
Because the produce is chilled, it stays fresher a little longer, so you have time to use it. These boxes are ideal if you want to reduce waste and save money, especially for making soups or stews quickly.
