LIDL is enforcing a two-per-customer rule as a sell-out £4 product returns to Scottish stores.
The budget supermarket has decided to impose the restriction after one highly sought-after item flew off the shelves earlier this month.
Dubai-style chocolate has quickly become a viral sensation, with Lidl selling a whopping 72 of its affordable bars per minute.
Now the supermarket has introduced the strict two-bar cap, as eager shoppers rush to snap up as many of the creamy pistachio and crispy knafeh-filled chocolate bars as they can.
The sweet treats will make a comeback to the retailer’s shelves this Saturday, March 29.
Lidl Plus members will be able to bag the item for just £3.99, while non-members will fork out an extra pound for each bar.
The brand took to TikTok to announce its return, captioning it with: “We heard you had a craving. Our Dubai-Style Chocolate is available in store this Saturday, 29th March for only £3.99 with Lidl Plus! *Maximum 2 bars per customer”.
But the announcement has been met with mixed reactions, with some chocolate lovers over the moon at its return and others disappointed by the purchase limit.
One TikTok user said: “A dream come true!”
Another added: “Finally!! I can’t wait”.
A third said: “A maximum of two bars per customer is breaking my heart.”
It comes as the Lidl Plus app introduced personalised discounts earlier this month.
Discounts listed on the app can now be split into products available at “all stores” and ones available at “your store”, aka your preferred Lidl location.
That means shoppers will have a better idea of what bargains they can get at their local store – especially the famous “middle aisle” products that might not be available in all stores.
