HK$15 meals for 50,000 elderly Hong Kong residents in coupon initiative
About 50,000 elderly Hong Kong residents will receive coupons in July and October, enabling them to purchase breakfast or afternoon tea for HK$15 (US$2) as part of a government-funded initiative. Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun Yuk-han announced on Friday that participants would receive six coupons next month, which can be used to buy breakfast at a discounted price of HK$15 at branches of six taking part restaurant groups: Fairwood, Cafe de Coral, Tai Hing, Maxim's, McDonald's, and Ngan Lung Restaurant. 'We hope the coupons will also help lure the hidden elderly to come out,' he said, citing those not known to community networks who were identified through 214 centres for the aged across the city. The authorities previously launched a similar scheme in the first quarter of this year, offering elderly residents meals like baked pork chop rice and fish burgers for HK$25 at designated restaurant groups. Those coupons were valid from the beginning of Lunar New Year until the end of March. Sun said that the coupon usage at that time was around 76 per cent.

Lidl shoppers reveal trick to get ‘hidden' freebies – and you don't need to spend anything
LIDL shoppers say they've been getting hidden freebies through the discount supermarket's loyalty app. Customers have been raving about the free finds they've managed to get through the Lidl Plus app, including doughnuts, fresh fruit and pasta. 2 It's all through the app's Coupon Plus feature, which lets shoppers unlock rewards and freebies when they spend. Several shoppers have been sharing their bargains on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook Group, with one saying: "Today checked my app so free doughnuts (2) free grapefruit free vine tomatoes free 600g of strawberries saved about £7.00." Another shared a photo of a receipt showing they had got muffins, a punnet of strawberries and pasta. "All free with my Lidl coupon plus rewards," they said proudly. A third person said they had got coupons for free fruit, veg and a bakery item on their app despite not spending anything at Lidl yet this month. A fourth said they received a free kilo punnet of strawberries. Lidl has said the coupons in its app are tailor-made for each customer based on their shopping habits. To get the vouchers you should head to the Coupons Plus section of the app and make sure you activate the coupons before you head to the till. The offers seem to change over time but one example is getting a free bakery sweet treat when you spend £10 in a month. Shoppers have also shared an extra little-known tip that can help you get the most out of your coupons. Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel One social media user said that when you have a free item in the coupons section of the app, you should click on the picture of the item and scroll down to where it says 'item number'. If you click on this, it should show you the complete list of any items you can claim for free with the coupon. That means you're not just limited to the free item seen in the picture. What other offers can you get through the Lidl Plus app? If it's your birthday you can get a free doughnut from the Lidl bakery section. There's no minimum spend required and the coupon is valid for seven days from your birthday. All you need to do to get the offer is register your birthday when you initially sign up to the app. Other offers you can get through the Lidl Plus app include a 10% off voucher when you spend £250 in-store in a month. This could be particularly helpful for larger families doing their weekly shops at Lidl. There is also currently a chance to win £5,000 through the app. Shoppers who spend £30 in one transaction with Lidl Plus from now until June 18 will be entered into a draw to win the cash. One winner will be announced every day and you can enter multiple times. 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.
