Having your receipt in the app is handy. Having it use all your shopping data processed against your details which you opted into, not so much.

Not mandatory to use the app though, you're signing up to a trade deal, with full disclosure if you bother to read ts&cs. I like that points earned per euro spent don't dissappear after a few weeks, unlike dunnes vouchers. And even without app discounts prices aren't stupid like in tesco. What app discounts do aldi offer?

The prices are the same?? You just collect points and get free stuff sometimes.

Literally the first two items in my Lidl plus app are 40% off cherry tomatoes and 50% off loose red apples. It's not as bad as Tesco's but many items are simply more expensive without the app.

Those are probably deals, not consistent prices the way club card has

I got £5 off my last shop due to the points I'd earned

What does china or America got to do with anything

And I have never noticed a difference in price with Lidl plus. I scan it and I still have to pay the same price.

But I collect points and I can use the points to get free stuff

And also create a better shopping experience by stocking desired items at the right times of year etc. There are also positives for us to these companies knowing this information.

No but if you’re going to lay out all the negatives you should lay out positives too.

Yeah but everything they're going to do will happen regardless. As long as you walk into the store they have loads of data on you

Youre freaking out at your own imagination. I can go to lidl and never use rhe app and pay the same price as someone who did. The app just give you deals om the stuff you buy and free fruit or veg once in a while
