LIDL fans are in a frenzy after spotting a £1.49 shower gel dupe, with shoppers stating it smells “exactly” like an £8.50 Lush buy.
With Mother’s Day now just around the corner, many of us are on the hunt for the perfect gift to show our mums how much we appreciate them.
Bath and shower products are a great idea for treating your mum to a little self care, but brands such as Lush can often be a bit on the pricey side.
Thankfully, eagle-eyed Lidl fans have spotted that the budget supermarket is selling products very similar to Lush’s popular shower gel, but at a fraction of the price.
Sharing a snap of her local Lidl store, one bargain lover posted in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group: “Lush dupe in Lidl.”
The image showed a selection of bottles of Lavish shower gel, with a sign indicating that the product is scanning for the bargain price of £1.99.
Both the Relax lavender scented gel and the Dizzy Rose rose scented gel are featured in the image, but shoppers in the comments section pointed out that a variety of other scents are also on offer.
One shopper said: “The winter fairy one is amazing.
“It smells just like Snow Fairy.”
A second person said: “I’ve got the honey one at home. It’s so nice.”
A third person said: “I used the Relax one yesterday, it smells amazing.”
A fourth chimed in: “These are so good and a fraction of the price.
“Really good duplicate.”
The Lavish shower gels are similar to Lush’s shower gel range, including the £8.50 Passion shower gel.
This product is made from red rose petals “for a passionate, floral scent that also soothes and tones.”
However, the Lush product is currently sold out online, so you will have to check your local store if you want to grab it in time for Mother’s Day.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Lush Prices
Beauty fans have been raging about Lush’s “mental” prices, following the launch of it’s new Easter range.
Included in the new range is the Easter Bunny bath bomb, which is priced at £10.
The 240g bath bomb is made from lemon, bergamot and grapefruit oils and promises to bring “juicy freshness”, to your bath.
However, the bath bomb is only a one time use product, which has led some shoppers to deem it far too expensive.
Also included in the collection is the Eggs on Legs bath bomb, which is the shape of an egg cup, and is priced at £12.
One shopper, clearly impressed by the range, recently shared a picture of some of the products to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
Captioning the post, she said: “Easter has arrived at Lush!” alongside a heart eyes emoji.
The post soon grabbed the attention of Facebook group members and racked up hundreds of comments.
One person said: “I love Lush but the prices are getting absolutely mental
“I mean £10-13 for a bath bomb that you use once, wow.”
A second person said: “Who is paying a tenner for a bath bomb.”
A third added: “I can see them being the next ones off the high street with those prices.”
