How to get a Lidl Gold Card with ‘phenomenal' free bakery perk
Well, there's good news then because Lidl shoppers could be in with the chance of nabbing themselves just this, as the budget retailer has just created a brand new Bakery Gold Card.
Anyone who knows anything about Lidl will know that the in-store bakery is considered legendary – with a cult online following to rival the likes of Greggs and Gail's.
On social media there are rave reviews for the products, with people hailing the bread and sweet treats as 'phenomenal', 'gorgeous' and 'divine'. The best-selling item is the All Butter Croissant and to give you an idea of just how popular this is, 122 of them are purchased every single minute.
There are 500 of the supermarket's new Gold Card available and getting your hands on one won't cost you a penny… https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ8llWpIVYO/
All you have to do to be in with a chance of securing free pastries for a year is comment on Lidl's TikTok or Instagram post about it before 23:59 on May 26, sharing why you think you deserve a Gold Card.
Those who are selected to get one will be able to claim a free bakery product every single day for a year via the Lidl Plus App.
Potential freebies include the famous All Butter Croissant (59p), a Chocolate Hazelnut Doughnut (79p), a Petit Pain (29p), a White Artisan Baguette (99p), a Cheese Twist (99p), a Sticky Cinnamon Bun (79p), an Ultimate Chocolate Brownie (89p) and a slice of Vegetable Pizza (99p).
It's not just Lidl's baked goods that are impressing customers. The retailer was also just crowned victorious in a supermarket sausage taste test, with its £2.49 bangers beating out M&S as well as big name brands like Jolly Hog. More Trending
Nine supermarket own-brand sausages were pitted against each other as part of the test and compared to several popular brands too. Ultimately, three ended up being named the superior 'best buys' of the lot.
A panel of 65 consumers conducted the blind taste test for Which? and it was Lidl's sausages that came out on top as consumers loved their 'juicy texture', 'perfect meaty flavour' and 'herb and spice seasoning that hit the spot'.
As well as being a Best Buy, Lidl's sausages also gained a Great Value award as they're well below average price-wise.

However, it's worth noting that Lidl's sausages are pretty high in saturated fat. Two sausages contain 11.5g, which is more than half the recommended daily maximum for women and more than a third for men.

Eilish McColgan has revealed she suffered racist abuse online after posting pictures of her engagement to former athlete Michael Rimmer. McColgan, who won a gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and was this week named as an official ambassador for the 2026 Games in Glasgow, has called for social media companies to do more to combat online hate.

McColgan, 34, says she has become 'numb' to it but appreciates the trauma it causes others.

'For myself, it [the abuse] is always about body image but I recently posted my engagement to my partner and the racist abuse that we received, being a mixed race couple, was honestly disgusting,' said McColgan. 'I've never read anything like it in my life. That was probably pretty eye-opening for me because it was a different type of abuse that was coming towards me that I'd never experienced before. And it's maybe how my parents feel when they read stuff about me. It was me reading that about someone I love, which was difficult to do, so it probably gave me a little bit of a greater appreciation of what my family probably have to go through when they read stuff about me online. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Sadly, that's the downside of social media and the online world that we're in. All we can do is keep standing up for ourselves, voicing our disgust at it, outing people who are maybe not afraid to share their names and stuff online but also ask for verification on social media.' McColgan, who was in Glasgow for the unveiling of the 2026 Commonwealth Games mascot, would like social media users to be verified before being given a platform.

'I think it would make a big difference because people won't want their employers seeing what they're saying online. It's harder to hide behind that because there's probably more consequences behind it. I think it stops people from making bad decisions but, as I said, it is part and parcel of just being online.' Carter is part of the England squad that has reached the final of the Euros in Switzerland and said this week she would take a step back from social media after suffering online racist abuse since the tournament began. McColgan expressed sympathy for the footballer. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I mean it's obviously not stopping,' said McColgan. 'I don't think it's a new conversation at all. As I said, it's been happening to me for a long long time. It's not right but sadly that's the way the world has gone. 'Honestly, I've become so numb to it. Even speaking about it, I just feel like it's just part of everyday life like I can't stop it so there's no point in me getting all stressed and worked up about it but I do appreciate that for other athletes, it does wind them up and it does actually take a lot out of them emotionally, mentally.

'I tried McDonald's in Italy and the differences blew my mind'
An American tourist decided to try McDonald's in Italy and was blown away by the differences, especially one 'crazy' addition to the menu, and some 'really good' food items McDonald's is one of the biggest fast food chains in the world, attracting millions of customers a day across more than 40,000 locations. Known for iconic items such as hamburgers, Big Macs, McMuffins and their crispy fries, many people come back to the chain time and time again. And while many of the items will be the same, or similar, wherever you go in the world, there are some differences. When McDonald's fans are travelling, many like to try out a local Maccies to see if there are any different items, or if it tastes any different. For example, McDonald's in the US will be very different to the ones in India, where they have their own version of the Big Mac. And recently a Maccies fan from the US visited a McDonald's restaurant in Italy, and was blown away by the differences. Fashion and beauty content creator Ashley LaMarca recently visited Italy and showed off the menu at McDonald's, and even did a TikTok taste test of the different items. Ashley noted how "different" the restaurant itself looked as it was "so aesthetic", as well as the items they offered. First of all, she was impressed by the look of the McChicken Il Provolone, which she said was the "most Italian thing" she'd ever seen. She was also excited that they had same burger, but with pepperoni. And she liked the look of the McWrap Il Peperone, which is a "pepperoni wrap". They also have "loaded fries", or Le Ricche Fries Cheese&Bacon and Le Ricche Fries Cheddar, as well as "actual chicken wings". "The US could never," she added. On the menu, they also had croissants, which is how she "knows she's in Europe", as well as McPops cream-filled, which she said looked "unreal". She was also excited to see things she recognised on the menu, such as the Big Tasty, Cheeseburgers and Spicy Chicken McNuggets. However, she was very surprised to see beer on the menu, which she said was "crazy". In a follow-up video Ashley tried a peach iced tea which she said was "good". Meanwhile, she said the McChicken Il Provolone was "so good", because the chicken tasted "real and fresh". She rated both a 10 out of 10, saying it was her favourite things she'd tried. She tried the fries to see if they were the same as back home, and said they were "good" but tasted "more salty," rating it a whopping 10 out of 10. She also tried the spicy chicken McNuggets which she said were really spicy, and also gave them a 10 out of 10. But she wasn't impressed by the Cheesburger, specially as the "bun to patty ratio was way off". "It's not the best, she added, rating it a five out of 10. Ashley also tried one of the McPops, which she described as "like a donut hole", and rated it an impressive nine out of 10.

Dropkick Murphys exit Punk in the Park festival over founder's Trump campaign donations
Dropkick Murphys, the American Celtic punk band widely known for their 2005 hit 'I'm Shipping up to Boston,' announced Wednesday they will no longer be performing at any more Punk in the Park shows after learning the festival's organizer donated to the Trump campaign. "Punk Rock and Donald Trump just don't belong together. So Upon finding out that Brew Ha Ha promotions donated to the Trump campaign we will not be playing any more Punk in the Park shows," the band said in the caption of an Instagram video. In the video, frontman Ken Casey told an audience: "The far-right ain't the new punk." The band had just recently performed in Denver but said it will not continue for any other Punk in the Park shows. Cameron Collins, owner of Brew Ha Ha, the group that organized the festival, posted his own statemen t in response. "We live in a two-party system, and unfortunately, you must choose based on a few important issues that resonate with you. For me, those issues were the promise to end wars and refrain from entering new international conflicts, lower taxes, and stopping government overreach," Collins said. He added that he hasn't liked many of Trump's recent "viewpoints, opinions, and policies thus far," and noted that the festival has not and will not donate any of its proceeds to any political party. Federal Election Commission records show Collins made multiple small-dollar donations last year to the Trump National Committee, Never Surrender and WinRed. The Trump National Committee and Never Surrender use funds raised to support President Donald Trump. WinRed bills itself as "the only fundraising platform built exclusively for conservatives." Like most punk bands, Dropkick Murphys identify with the broader left-wing movement, and they haven't been shy about their opposition to Trump. In March, Casey called out a fan wearing a "Make America Great Again" shirt at a concert. Upon making a wager and verifying that the "MAGA" shirt was made in Nicaragua, Casey had the fan change into a "proudly made in America Dropkick Murphys shirt." "We don't care if we lose fans because when history's said and done, we want it known that Dropkick Murphys stood with the people, we stood with the workers," Casey said at the time.
