A trip to the grocery store can be nerve-wracking for a number of reasons — the crowds, the options and the prices (to name a few). Fortunately, if you have a Lidl grocery store near you, there are a lot of savings to be had. Some of the business’ values include “high quality shouldn’t have to come at a premium price.”
The Germany-originated grocery store has quite a few private-label Lidl products worth adding to your cart, as well as other brands you might already know that you’ll be surprised to find at Lidl’s prices. Stock up your freezer this winter with these cheap frozen foods.
Organic Frozen Butternut Squash
- Price: $1.55 for one 10 oz. bag
Craving fall and winter favorite veggies but dread the work it takes to prep them? Buying precut vegetables often costs more than buying fresh and organic butternut squash that’s already prepped, which is why we love this bag of frozen organic steamable butternut squash at Lidl. Since the fresh butternut squash is less than two dollars a pound at Lidl, having this fast-cooking squash in the freezer is a great option to get winter vegetables on the dinner table in minutes.
Wild-Caught Flounder
- Price: $8.95 for one 32 oz. bag
The Ocean Sea frozen wild caught flounder fillets are always a go-to for Erin Schulz in Mattituck, NY. “It’s a steal for 2 pounds (about 10 -12 filets) at around $11, he said. “They are great for a light dinner, a fish sandwich for lunch and to share with my cat (he loves some fresh fish mixed in with his usual food). Can’t beat it!”
Meat Lasagna
- Price: $7.98 for 38 ounces
This Italian “casserole” dish can be hit-or-miss when you get it from a supermarket. Reddit poster “tunaman808” said Lidl’s meat lasagna is yummy, and they find it often costs a dollar or two less than regular meat lasagna found at most grocer’s freezers.
Organic Berries
- Price: $2.98 for 10 oz. (2 cups)
Anyone who tries to buy organic produces knows the cost will put a significant dent in your budget. Lidl’s frozen organic mixed berries bag clocks in at less than $3 for two cups of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries.
French Toast Sticks
- Price: $3.16 for a 16 oz. box
For those of us who need a quick breakfast or one that transports easily into the car for kids, check out Lidl’s french toast sticks with double the cinnamon. This warm, delicious breakfast on a cold winter morning is a tasty way to start your day.
Cheesecake Bites
- Price: $9.99 for one box
It’s always a smart idea to have a dessert on hand for those last-minute dinner guests, or a bite-size treat that satisfies your sweet tooth at the end of the day. This package of frozen cheesecake bites has New York-style cheesecake, strawberry swirl and caramel chocolate chip flavors you can put out on a nice plate. You can get 24 bites per box so everyone can sample the goods.
Banquet Frozen Chicken Pot Pie
- Price: $1.00 for one 7 oz. container
Ever tried to make chicken pot pie from scratch? Not only does it take hours, but you’ll need a lot of ingredients for the chicken and vegetable filling, sauce and pie crust. If you want a simple pot pie to satisfy the craving for cheap, Banquet’s individual pot pies at Lidl cost about a buck. It’s best baked in the oven, but you could bring it to work for lunch and microwave, too.
Frozen Dairy Dessert Bars
- Price: $4.99 for 6 frozen dessert bars
The Bon Gelati chocolate frozen dairy dessert bars will be a great addition to your cart this winter if you’re looking for an affordable way to satisfy a chocolate (or white chocolate almond) craving. Will they remind you of the the gelato you had on that Italian vacation? No. But with the savings you get by shopping at Lidl, maybe you can get back there sooner.
General Tso’s Chicken
- Price: $7.99 for one 26 oz. bag
If you’re trying to cut back on your “dining out” spending but don’t want to say goodbye to takeout favorites, look to Lidl’s frozen Asian-style foods. The General Tso’s chicken contains no preservatives or artificial flavors, and would be a cheap, hearty meal when paired with white rice and frozen broccoli.
