Many of us are feeling the pinch right now.

So if there are any opportunities to bag a freebie here or there, we've been all ears. And one place you can find a great deal at the moment is Lidl.

The budget supermarket is giving out free produce to its shoppers. To redeem it, make sure you have the Lidl Rewards App downloaded and ready to use.

On the application, there's an option available to "spin-to-win" once a day during the promotion. And after getting your prize, you can pick up next time you're getting groceries.

On TikTok, a content creator called @catchagem explained: "Lidl will give you free food just for shopping with them every single day from the 16th of May until the 12th of June. All you have to do is make sure you have the Lidl Rewards App and then from May 16th you're going to see a spin-to-win offer in your app.

"All you need to do is buy anything [excludes infant formula or gift cards], and it can even be 1p. Then all you need to do is buy it, take it to the checkout and check your app. [After] about 20 seconds you're going to have a spin-to-win offer that you can spin, and then they'll give you some free fruit.

"They're not just going to give you one banana. It can be a pack of strawberries, pack of raspberries [... and more]." See the full list below.
