Lidl's £20 mystery box is returning tomorrow and each one packed with ‘middle of Lidl’ treasures worth more than £100, according to the budget supermarket.
Brimming with items from the supermarket’s infamous aisle, there will be 1,500 boxes available with contents including anything from a Breville ice coffee maker (worth £29.99) and noise-cancelling headphones (worth £19.99), to an electric stapler and nailer (worth £7.99).
The boxes first launched in August 2024 and sold out in just under an hour. This year’s bright blue boxes are set to be just as popular, so you’ll need to be quick if you want to get your hands on one.
Some extra lucky shoppers will find a ‘bonus item coupon’ among their products. This’ll be in just 150 mystery boxes and winners can exchange the special voucher for premium items such as the Vax air lift 2 pet plus (worth £219.99), which we named our best corded vacuum for upholstery, a Daewoo dual air fryer 9L (worth £99.99) or even a sleek Sharp 43in 4K ultra HD roku TV (worth £279.99).
Behind the Willy Wonka-like-fun, all proceeds from Lidl’s mystery boxes will be donated to the children’s charity NSPCC, making it a worthwhile cause.
So, to stand you in good stead to get your hands on a mystery box, here’s all you need to know including how to shop.
Lidl mystery box

While we can only speculate as to what’s inside each mystery box, shoppers can expect all sorts of delights usually found in Lidl’s middle aisle, from coffee makers to insulated flasks.
For those who land a ‘bonus item coupon’, there are more expensive items to be won including a TV, pet bed and even a rowing machine.
You’ll need to pay £20 for a mystery box, but the budget supermarket has said that the contents of each one will be worth more than £100.
The boxes will go on sale from 10am on 24 October on a webpage set up for this event. With only 1,500 boxes available, expect to move quickly to take part in the event.
