Lidl starts rescue operation: pastries from the previous day for 1 euro!

For all bargain hunters and environmentally conscious people, there is an exciting novelty in the Lidl from today - the "save me sackerl"! This innovative hit enables customers to purchase pastries from the previous day for only 1 euro. This is not only a great price, but also helps to preserve valuable food from waste. Lidl Austria introduced the "Save Mich Box" in 2021, which saves around 2 million kilograms of fruit and vegetables a year from the bio bin. Now this commitment is being expanded to give baked treats a second chance, such as Lidl Austria reports .

In each sack there are four different biscuits, including popular varieties such as Semmerl, Kornspitz and poppy seeds. By buying, Lidl customers can not only save up to 70 percent, but also support a good cause-from every sack sold, 10 cents go to the organization of light in the dark, which is committed to children and families in Austria. "This is the next consistent step against food waste. Because food thrown away are not only a waste of valuable resources, they also cause great negative consequences for our environment," explained Michael Kunz, CEO from Lidl Austria, and added that the rescue of food saves both and the environment helps, as well as OE24 reports .

sustainability and social responsibility

In addition to the new Sackerl program, Lidl promotes a comprehensive concept for the fight against food waste. This not only includes cleverly planned order systems that prevent overproduction, but also the donation of food to social institutions. Foods that cannot be sold until the end are sent to organic gas systems for recycling or used as feed. With all these measures, Lidl demonstrates his commitment to a sustainable future and social responsibility in the domestic community.
