Lidl said it has cut the cost of its Spanish shopping basket by 8% during 2026, with 800 products now permanently cheaper than at the start of the year. Reductions span most categories, including fresh food, with some prices down more than 20%. Lidl said Q2 customer numbers increased by 1.5 million versus Q1, while price cuts were funded through lower operating margins rather than supplier concessions. (Lidl)
