They also have fairly large Irish chickens for €4.99. That's €2 off.

Someone has to be suffering with this deal and IMO it will not be Aldi - it must be the producers or the suppliers.

I don't know about that. It is a temporary special offer to get you in the shop. I normally shop in Lidl because it is not too far from where I live. But after seeing an ad, I went to Aldi instead. I intended just getting the fruit and veg but ended up getting my whole shop there. So I spent €40 euro in Aldi instead of Lidl, just because they reduced their prices on a few items. Aldi are well aware that many customers will do exactly what I did. Taking a hit on a few items is worth it in order to get the extra business.

Supplier always takes the hit with special offers as far as veg is concerned. We use to supply Tesco etc with most of their Irish organic fruit and veg.

The producers are squeezed by every supermarket group and they have my sympathy - they seem to take the lowest margin of anyone in the chain of producer to consumer.

I have no sympathy for the "suppliers" or middlemen. These are the people who, together with our indigenous retailers, have ripped off the Irish consumer for decades.

"Follow the money" is the key to understanding corruption and is also the key to choosing where to spend your own hard-earned euros!

And then the supplier makes the producer take a hit. This will happen so often that it will up that we will end up with no producers of good Irish food.
It's a vicious circle, and at the end of the day, we the consumers are going to be the victims IMO.

We produced all the veg. The vast majority of Irish veg suppliers to Tesco would be producers..... Fruit on the other hand is imported so of course we didnt produce that.

So you supply directly to Tesco central distribution ? and they pay the price that you expected ?

I have connections to fresh produce myself, in the south west, that were supplying a C.D.C. for a certain super market group.

They supplied 5 loads of what they thought was €5000 worth of produce in good faith, and was agreed verbally.

At the end of the day, and after waiting awhile, with reminders, for payment, they received much less (5%) than the original agreement.

A Lot of questions were asked, as you could imagine, but at the end of the day they were told "we had a promotion going that week - sorry but you lost out"

5% of €25,000 = after waiting for payment, plus carriage, plus packaging etc.

They wont be trying to expand in the near future, they will just grow enough to supply a local market.

Buy your "deals" in the supermarket to the detriment of the local producer and at the end of the day to your pocket.

Starter: Melon
Main Course: Roast Chicken with potatoes and veg.
Dessert: Fresh Pineapple and Ice Cream

Cost:
Melon 69c
Irish Chicken 2Kg €4.99
Potatoes, Broccoli and Veg Selection €2.07 (3 x 69c)
Pineapple 69c
Frosty's Ice Cream 2ltr. €1.49

Total Cost: €9.93

We stopped supplying to Tesco years ago. M&S where the worst for that kind of carry on as far as I remember. Support your local producers at markets if possible but if your on a tight budget you cant argue with a dinner for 4 for under 10€.
