LIDL items more expensive in Malta

Sister newspaper ‘Illum’ reports a substantial difference between prices of Lidl products offered in Malta and the same products offered in other foreign markets. 

Taking last July as an example, ‘Illum’ shows how around 200 different products were sold with a higher price than that offered in neighbouring Italy and Sicily Lidl outlets.

The difference in prices range from mere 50c to a considerable €30.

A ‘cordless telephone’ sold in Italy for €19, is currently being sold in Malta for €30.

When contacted, the company said it is always committed in offering the most competitive prices and the difference in prices was simply due to freight expenses.
