strangest thing you've seen for sale in aldi

DrumSteve

was up in aldi the other night doing my weekly shopping (48 cans of Galahads premium ale, 3 packets of brannans sausages and 2 bags of twisty fries) and seen a pair of skiing boots for sale? i thought thats a bit strange considering it april and we're not exactly blessed with mountain slopes over here.

anyways any of the rest of ye see anything strange for sale up there?

RATM

I was in there a few weeks ago and they were selling razor blades at reasonable prices. Very strange for Ireland, very strange indeed.

A microscope... Well I thought it was weird!

I've been to an Aldi in Germany and they had those inflatable sex dolls for sale.(it's still going strong):P

Noopti

I still get a chuckle out of those camping satellite receiver systems they sell.
Just seems a bit crazy to me. "This year I am going on holiday camping in the mountains of Kerry for a week. I will be mostly watching Sky News"

Aldi is the sh1t! I bought a bagless vacume for 80 euro last week. It's as good as a Dyson, which costs 300+. Also bought computers and tv's from there in the past

Amazing what they're getting into. I liked the look of the five star in Crete. Pity we've already booked our holliers this year!

A scarfing torch. It's like one of those flame throwers road workers use to burn white lines of roads or what steel workers use to remove defects from girders. A serious piece of industrial equipment on sale in a supermarket, wonderful.

Also, Lidl was selling audio mixing decks last week - I actually bought one.

I've always been freaked out by those rolled up slices of fish in a jar...yuck...

As regards their weekly specials - a generator for €100, right beside the pet food.

Oh and an inflatable roof rack for your car...

Tayto Crisps.

A child.

I was too embarrassed to just bring it up to the counter while buying my chips, so I just stuck it under my jacket. Broke the damned thing about a week later, so thank god I didn't pay for it.

Yeah I've seen them selling Welding Equipment, Generators, etc...
They do sell the oddest of things.

Is there a difference between aldi and lidl or did they just run out of 'A's?

marko91

a huge sledge hammer.....amazed me it did that a supermarket sells hardware and other random stuff:pac:

Aldi is the only place I seen selling a PC with a Scart out..., not an adapter lead but a computer with a fecking Scart plug in the back of it.

I saw an Irish staff member once. Wasn't for sale though, surprisingly

Price is right.

Some of these I think were in Lidl - both stores are interchangeable in my brain.

Chocolate body paint (didn't sell well, haven't seen it there since)
A telescope
Some sort of blowtorch thing attached to an aerosol
Mad lookin' trousers for lads with a loud flowery pattern on them
Horse blankets
Blanket you attach to the back of the front seat of your car and to the back seats so that your dog won't put hair on them.
Inflatable dinghy

That's so true about their stuff, cheap and decent quality.
I've bought quite a few power tools and built a house using them, most are still going strong, the hammar drill eventually gave up after being dropped 10m onto concrete! for the second time! (I taped it back together after the first drop and got another couple of months out of it!)

It would have been dodgy to just tape up the drill and continue using it after that fall. No fear no?

It's the food that's often the strangest. Where else can you buy a 3 Bird Roast? Chicken, duck and pheasant as far as I remember.

One week they sold sausages for dogs. Not humans, dogs. A cardboard box with 40 dehydrated sausages, just on the ground in a middle aisle. Kinda fascinating in a morbid way.

Someone mentioned it before those razor packets they do are fairly decent and cheap too.

I bought a sex doll before too but it was faulty. The first time I tried to use it it went down on me. :mad:

They had underwater propulsion vehicles in Lidl. The things you see divers in james bond using;

Wet suits, decent quality and very cheap.

Boxes of dried up pigs ears as dog snacks. I assume the ears were about the only part of the pig not to make it into the frikadellen
