It seems that such a move did not go down well with the competitors. Another retail chain, “Lidl”, published a discount publication at the weekend, in which buyers were offered to buy Lithuanian potatoes for 0,04 ct per kilogram on Monday. Buyers had to activate the coupon in the app and scan the virtual card at the checkout. Only in this case, a discount was applied to them. True, one buyer owns no more than 3 kg of potatoes.
