That’s lush that is! As TV fans across the nation eagerly anticipate the return of the country’s favourite Welsh/Essex sitcom this Christmas, Lidl has announced an absolutely crackin’ limited-time coupon for shoppers – but there’s a catch. With only 14 days to go until the show’s return, the supermarket has announced that Lidl Plus users who share the same names as either of the show’s most iconic characters will be able to redeem £1 off their weekly shop through the Lidl Plus App.
Tidy. To be eligible for the promotion, shoppers must be registered on the Lidl Plus App as ‘Gavin’ or ‘Stacey’.
And I’ll tell you why, I will! From December 13, these aptly named shoppers will automatically receive their coupon by scanning their app instore and can save on treats such as a bag of chips and nine poppadoms to enjoy during the episode.
The announcement comes following the launch of Lidl’s very own ‘Midgeure Cheddar’, a re-branded block of cheese inspired by one of the show’s classic festive gags. Made with 100% British mature cheese, the blocks featured a bespoke label produced in a nod to Smithy’s classic misreference of a popular 80s singer, in which he mistakenly merges the hit-maker’s name into one word.
Does anybody fancy an omelette? Having given fans a chance to win a block of their own last week, the supermarket has also released Gwen’s Christmas Leftover Omelette recipe, available via the Lidl Website.
The brainchild of Lidl Barry’s resident omelette expert, Gwen, and inspired by one of the show’s classic dishes, the simple recipe utilises the lush ‘Midgeure Cheddar’ to create a soft and cheesy centre, and gives shoppers a chance to use up their leftovers after the big day.
The limited time coupon is available to redeem via the Lidl Plus App, available automatically from 13 December, and redeemable until 15 December.
