LIDL is selling a nifty £7.99 BBQ tool that can help you make crispy pizzas.
The German discounter is launching the Grillmeister round pizza stone in stores from Thursday (June 12).
The stone is placed on BBQs and uses heat from the coals to cook your favourite flavour.
Lidl says the stone is moisture-absorbing too making for “extra crispy pizzas”.
The nifty piece of cooking tech, measuring 38cm across, comes with a three-year warranty.
Of course, whenever buying something like this make sure you shop around to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Just because Lidl is offering a pizza stone for £7.99 doesn’t mean you can’t get one cheaper elsewhere.
Use websites like Price Spy, Price Runner and Trolley to compare prices on thousands of products across the major retailers.
You can do a quicker scan by using the Google Product/Shopping tab as well.
We had a look across the major retailers to see if any are selling a similar BBQ pizza stone for less than £7.99 and couldn’t find any.
The next cheapest is Asda which is selling one for £10, then Tesco which has one in stock for £13.99.
If you’re keen on Lidl’s pizza stone, you won’t be able to order it for home delivery as the retailer doesn’t offer this service.
You’ll have to be quick if you want to pick one up in-store as well as it’s a middle aisle buy meaning once it’s gone it’s gone.
You can find your nearest Lidl store by visiting lidl.co.uk/c/store-finder/s10023098.
If the BBQ pizza stone doesn’t take your fancy, Lidl has plenty of other middle aisle products on sale that might.
The discounter is selling a £6 foldable backpack that’s perfect for summer holidays abroad.
How to save money on pizza
TAKEAWAY pizzas taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on pizza:
Cashback websites – TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your pizza through them. They’re paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you’ll get cashback on orders placed through them.
Discount codes – Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order.
Make you own topping – One savvy customer noticed that Domino’s charges up to 70p MORE for pizzas on its menu compared to ordering the same one through the “create your own” option. It’s worth trying out to see if it makes a difference before you place your next order.
Buy it from the shops – It might not taste exactly the same but you’ll save the most money by picking up your favourite pizza from your local supermarket. Some Asda stores sell freshly made ones from the pizza counter where prices start at £2.
The retailer’s sell-out pizza oven is back in shops for £79.99 too.
How to save money at Lidl
Lidl reduces items at the start of the day, and the best deals can be found between 7am and 8am, when most stores open.
Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more.
Lidl also has its own knock-offs of branded alcohol offering some bargain prices.
If you are hoping to avoid spending more than you planned on Middle of Lidl items, you can check what will be in the “Middle of Lidl” on the supermarket’s website in advance too.
The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday.
Shoppers can also keep tabs on what’s appearing in the “Pick of the Week” section on the Lidl website.
The discounts happen every Thursday and are usually on fruit, vegetables, and meat.
