RATING 9/10!
Greetings. A few days ago, on October 8, the Lidl Halloween seasonal selection arrived here in Serbia. The link is here https://www.lidl.rs/c/strasne-grickalice-isplati-se/a10104372
As we have been following it for years, and have various reviews from year to year, I almost wrote one https://horrorvalley.net/lidl-halloween-food-review/
And now we will compare with that post. Here is the Facebook album of what we were shopping at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=davor.todorovic.545&set=a.29715557534700354
And this is a screenshot from their site (because it might disappear soon), the picture is huge so you have to click and zoom.
As for this year, Lidl has a solid selection for Halloween, just like always, but this time a few things have been improved a bit. First, it arrived much earlier this time so people can enjoy candy and food for almost all of October! A big plus for that, because before it was in the middle of October and sometimes even from October 25, which is a big mistake. Now you can get everything in time, and nibble on snacks and sweets while watching movies all October long. It is much better for us elders, and for children as well.
Good thing they brought back the snacks, so we have 6 types like before, 5 snacks plus peanuts. The green one with sour cream is my favorite, while Sonja likes it best with paprika. There are also a few novelties that I didn’t find, it seems that they didn’t even get them, there’s no way I missed them, and they would really like to try it with my team.
For example, chocolate vampires https://www.lidl.rs/p/halloween-cokoladne-figure/p11007753 ,
It’s brand new, but I didn’t find it at our Lidl in Duvanište.
It’s interesting that this wasn’t there either, but had it for the last couple of years https://www.lidl.rs/p/halloween-keks-sa-prelivom-od-mlecne-cokolade/p11001421
I didn’t even find ice cream https://www.lidl.rs/p/halloween-sladoled-u-crnom-kornetu/p11006174
I didn’t notice the soup and the scary chocolate bars few days ago, I might have missed the soup but I didn’t, and they got it last night, I haven’t tried either that or the soup yet (we bought them last night), but the ice cream and vampire chocolate bars are definitely not there.
I’m currently in communication with their consumer team about this, they have a great communications team, they’re checking in regularly, they’re checking this out as we speak. It probably varies from store to store, the central office cannot always monitor and control everything, I will look at the other Lidl in Niš to see if the situation is the same these days.
But this year there is also a themed coffee, and it’s very cool that they brought back and not only that, a pleasant surprise, they brought back Trolli Dracula, it existed the first time when Lidl opened back in 2018 and we didn’t see it anymore https://www.lidl.rs/p/trolli-gumene-bombone/p11000140 and we got Halloween popcorn, I think I noticed it, but it’s not on the list. There is also Kinder Halloween, it wasn’t on the list but they added it in the meantime. Kinder is separate, it’s at the cash register, while everything else is there where it should be in one place, I criticized them before, so they accepted that everything Halloween should be in one place so that people wouldn’t make a mistake and miss it, because before it happened that they scattered some products all over the store. Now everything is centralized except Kinder, congratulations!
It’s a good thing they got rid of the “Wednesday” series with the purple packaging; we’ve all grown accustomed to the standard orange color. Cheers to them for that—they actually listened to the recommendation! We certainly don’t mind; purple is actually my favorite color, but Lidl boxes are traditionally orange. That was just a silly repack, without changes.
By the way, we already have a large selection, and the prices are not expensive compared to before, I did not notice any increase in the prices of these Halloween products, chocolates and gum have already been checked, great taste, snacks are great, great selection.
Excellent rating 9/10 all praises!
This is bonus information, I’m not going to downgrade for this, but here’s what we specifically asked for and what we got
1. Sun Rice Halloween Edition is the best thing they’ve ever had in my opinion, and my friends loved it. I don’t know why they haven’t had it for years, but I don’t think it’s being produced, the manufacturer doesn’t have it
2. Lidl’s Halloween Jaffa, the best jaffa ever! This is still not clear to me why it is not available when Lidl makes it, Sondey brand I guess, they can always produce it.
3. and 4. We finally got this! It is there right now.
5. This is the best tortilla chips ever and why we don’t have it, and Bulgarians have it I don’t know https://www.lidl.bg/p/halloween-tortila-cips/p10064649 it’s blue corn chips, no additives, nothing added except a little salt and oil, healthy food.
As for the negative point, that’s why I didn’t give 10 because some things are missing and they have to teach the workers when Halloween finally comes to compare for themselves to see what is advertised, what they got and what they didn’t because I noticed that the workers there don’t understand much about the thematic things that Lidl offers. This season theme has been around since 2018 so there is no argument that their workers don’t know, some of us know these Lidl products better than those who work there.
But we are also very satisfied with what we have and what arrived earlier, and their service is very communicative, and they go out of their way to meet. They like reviews like this because they analyze well and check everything they need. So, thanks to Lidl being number one locally for Halloween food, we have options and are well equipped.

OCENA 9/10!
Pozdrav. Pre neki dan, 8. oktobra je kod nas u Srbiji stigao Lidl Halloween sezonski izbor. Link je ovde https://www.lidl.rs/c/strasne-grickalice-isplati-se/a10104372
Kako mi godinama pratimo to, i imamo razne revizije iz godine u godinu, skoro sam napisao jednu https://horrorvalley.net/lidl-halloween-food-review/
I sada ćemo uporediti sa tim postom. Evo fejsbuk album što smo bili i nakupovali https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=davor.todorovic.545&set=a.29715557534700354
A ovo je skrinšot sa njihovog sajta (jer možda nestane uskoro), slika je ogromna pa morate da kliknete i zumirate.
Što se ove godine tiče, Lidl ima solidan izbor za Halloween, isto kao i uvek, ali su ovog puta malo poboljšane neke stvari. Prvo, ovog puta je mnogo ranije stiglo kako bi ljudi mogli da uživaju u slatkišima i hrani skoro celog oktobra! Veliki plus za to, jer ranije je bilo sredinom oktobra a nekada i čak od 25. oktobra što je velika greška. Sada može na vreme da se sve nabavi, i da se grickau grickalice i slatkiši dok se gledaju filmovi celog oktobra. Za nas starije, a i za decu je mnogo bolje.
Dobra stvar da su povratili grickalice pa imamo 6 vrsta kao nekada, 5 sneka plus kikiriki. Onaj zeleni sa pavlakom mi je najomiljeniji, dok Sonja najviše voli sa paprikom. Ima i nekoliko noviteta koji ja nisam našao, izgleda da nisu ni dobili nema šanse da mi promakne a baš bi voleli da probamo sa mojom ekipom.
Na primer vampiri čokoladice https://www.lidl.rs/p/halloween-cokoladne-figure/p11007753,
To je glanc novo ali nisam našao kod nas u Lidlu u Duvaništu.
Interesantno je da i ovo nije bilo a imalo ga zadnjih par godina https://www.lidl.rs/p/halloween-keks-sa-prelivom-od-mlecne-cokolade/p11001421
Ni sladoled nisam našao https://www.lidl.rs/p/halloween-sladoled-u-crnom-kornetu/p11006174
Supu i strašne čokoladice nisam primetio pre par dana, supu sam možda promašio ali ovo nisam, i dobili ga sinoć, još nisam probao ni to ni supu (kupili smo ih večras), ali sladoled i vampiri čokoladice definitivno nema.
O tome trenutno komuniciram sa njihovim timom za potrošače, imaju odličan tim za komunikaciju, redovno se javljaju, upravo proveravaju ovo dok mi pričamo. To je verovatno od prodavnice do prodavnice, centrala ne može uvek sve da nadgleda i kontroliše, pogledaću u drugi Lidl u Nišu da li je ista situacija ovih dana.
Ali ove godine ima i kafa tematska, I veoma super što su vratili i ne samo to, prijatno iznenađenje, vratili su Troli Drakulu, to je postojalo prvi put kada se Lidl otvorio još 2018. i nismo ga videli više https://www.lidl.rs/p/trolli-gumene-bombone/p11000140 i dobili smo Halloween kokice, mislim da sam ih primetio, ali nisu na listi. Ima i Kinder Halloween, to nije bilo na listi ali su dodali u međuvremenu. Kinder je odvojen, on je na kasi, dok je sve ostalo tamo gde treba na jednom mestu, to sam ih kritikovao ranije, pa su uvažili, da sve što je Halloween bude na jednom mestu kako ljudi nebi pogrešili i promašili jer se ranije dešavalo da raštrkaju neke proizvode po celoj prodavnici. Sad je centralizovano sve osim Kindera, svaka čast!
I dobro je što su se rešili Wendesday serijala sa ljubičastim prepakovanjem, svi smo se navikli na standardnu narandžastu boju pakovanja. Svaka čast na tome, uvažili su preporuku! Mi nemamo ništa protiv, meni je ljubičasta omiljena boja ali Lidlove kutije su tradicionalno narandžaste. To je bilo samo beznačajno prepakovanje, ništa nije bilo promenjeno zapravo.
Inače imamo već veliki izbor, i cene nisu skupe u odnosu na ranije, nisam primetio neko povećanje cena ovih Halloween proizvoda, čokoladice i gume su već proverene, super ukus, grickalice su super, veliki izbor.
Odlična ocena 9/10 sve pohvale!
Ovo je bonus informacija, neću smanjivati ocenu zbog ovoga, ali evo šta smo tražili izričito a šta smo dobili
- Sun Rice Halloween Edition je nešto najbolje što su ikada imali po meni, i mom društvu se sviđalo. Iz koga razloga godinama nemaju ne znam ali mislim da se to ne proizvodi, sam proizvođač ga nema
- Lidlova Halloween Jaffa, najbolja jafa ikada! Ovo mi tek nije jasno zašto nema kada ga Lidl pravi maltene, Sondey marka predpostavljam, uvek mogu da ga proizvedu.
- i 4. Ovo smo dobili napokon! Ima ga trenutno.
- Ovo je najbolji tortilja čips ikadai zašto ga nemamo A Bugari ga imaju to ne znam https://www.lidl.bg/p/halloween-tortila-cips/p10064649 to je čips od plavog kukuruza, bez aditiva, ničega dodatog osim malo soli i ulja, zdrava hrana.
Što se tiče negativneg poena, zato nisam dao 10 jer neke stvari nedostaju i moraju da nauče radnike kada dođe Halloween konačno da upoređuju sami da vide šta se reklamira, šta su dobili a šta nisu jer sam primetio da im se radnici tamo ne razumeju mnogo u te tematske stvari koje Lidl nudi. Ova tematika sezona postoji još od 2018. tako da nema argumenta da im radnici ne znaju, neki od nas bolje poznaju ove Lidlove proizvode od njih koji rade tamo.
Ali, i ovo što imamo smo veoma zadovoljni i što je ranije stiglo, i njihova služba je veoma komunikativna, i izlaze u susret. Oni vole ovakve reviewe jer dobro analiziraju i proveravaju sve šta treba. Tako da, zahvaljjujući Lidlu koji je broj jedan lokalno za Halloween hranu, imamo mogućnosti i dobro smo opremljeni.
