    The mark up on them is very high - in the €2 shop you can get 2 bottles for €2. I have also often seen a tray of 24 cans in dunnes for €7.

    Coke recently raised its prices to retailers so retailers are in turn raising theirs/

    Would they just be a "normal price shop"if they sold them at 1.69?

    Yeah I dont mind the Lidl drinks but most of ALDI's stuff is awful in my opinion. If you're in Lidl before that they have their energy drinks for the same price but I dont think they taste as good, but they are better than most Red Bull clones :P

    I find some of the frozen stuff nicer/cheaper in Aldi depends what you are buying me thinks. As for red bull it is way to over priced.
