Lidl wants to provide as many people as possible with masks
Disposable masks are said to be available at 3,200 Lidl branches, as the company announced in a press release on Tuesday. Packages of 50 cost 33 euros each. A package is issued per purchase and per customer, while supplies last.
Due to the current state of the crown, Lidl offers the stock packages at cost price, which means in concrete terms: the price customers pay for disposable masks only covers manufacturing and sales. The discount does not profit from the sale. According to Lidl, the general objective is “to allow as many people as possible to access the masks”.
In addition to disposable masks, the discount store also plans to offer other mouth and nose covers in the future, such as multi-use cloth masks. In the first stage, there are a total of 14 million disposable masks available at Lidl branches.
Aldi Süd and dm skins are also available
Aldi Süd has also been selling disposable masks since April 30. The set of 10 is also offered at cost price and should cost 6.99 euros, as reported, among other things, by the “Lebensmittelzeitung”. For no hamster purchases, the discount only issues two packages per customer. To avoid trouble, the company has so far refrained from advertising.
The DM pharmacy chain has been offering its customers masks since April 27, just in time for the nationwide mask requirement to begin. Each client receives a mask at the entrance for the price of one euro.
Planned for sale in other supermarkets and discount stores.
Until now it is not clear if there are masks in other supermarkets. Edeka hopes to be able to offer masks to its customers in early May. Aldi Nord, Kaufland, Rewe and Penny are still checking if and when they can add skins to their range.
