What You’ll See

Turns out, over the past 4.5 years, I’ve spent more than 4 million HUF ($11,000) at Lidl. Around 150,000 HUF ($400) of that went to lactose-free cream alone. I also bought 223 cucumbers. Meanwhile, the price of butter nearly doubled.

This template helps you find the same kinds of insights in your own data:

  • How your grocery spending changed over time
  • Your biggest discount months and how much Lidl Plus saved you
  • The products you buy most often—and what you’ve spent on them
  • Which prices went up, and by how much
  • What your average basket looks like and how often you shop
  • Just upload your Lidl Plus data and explore your story.
