Bought some prosciutto at #Lidl in #Belgium. I will only buy meat with an orange sticker to promote the meat industry as little as possible without going vegan. The pkg had a “Zero Gaspi- €0,20 à consummer aujourd'hui” sticker. The cashier ignored the orange sticker & only scanned the #zeroGaspi sticker. So I was only charged 20¢. Is that correct? This is a great deal.

It probably is correct.
If not: "bonne affaire"... 😁

@on5zo I’ll be watching for more of those stickers for sure. Glad I didn’t take the pkg where the orange sticker covered up the zero gaspi sticker. In any case, it seems they used the wrong sticker. Probably should have been 50¢ for meat: https://corporate.lidl.be/fr/durabilite/nouvelles/lidl-lance-l-initiative-bon-appetit-zero-gaspi
Lidl lance l’initiative « Bon appétit, Zéro gaspi » - Lidl Belgique

La chaîne de supermarchés Lidl lance le projet « Bon appétit, Zéro gaspi » dans tous ses magasins belges. Cette initiative a pour but de limiter les pertes alimentaires et doit permettre à Lidl de réduire de 25% le gaspillage alimentaire (par rapport à 2015) d’ici à la fin 2020 et de 50% d’ici à 2025.

BTW do they have LIDL in France?
We don't have Auchan here 😁

@on5zo I see that lidl.fr exists, but visit the ones in Belgium, and occasionally Netherlands.

Most things in Holland are cheaper. And in France too.
Prices here are always higher...
Lots of Belgians shop in Auchans just across the border.

@on5zo I suppose that’s people with a car because I’ve never seen Auchans mentioned as a cheap cross-border destination for trains/buses. I tend to visit Aachen, Lille, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Hague, Maastricht, & Amsterdam because they’re cheaply reachable by bus.

Yes. Big cars. Loaded up with wine and champagne. Especially 3rd week of December.

Many Belgians (not we here) have a company car and fuel card. So driving 100km for cheap booze is not an issue.
