Winter clothing,winter boots,ski gear and thermal underwear on sale in Aldi this morning.
It was absolute chaos, with everyone barging in and battling each other

A scene, coming to you soon, on mountains all across Europe.

The best bit of winter gear I got in Aldi was about a month ago and they didnt even advertise them. It was the 3-in-1 jacket, a waterproof outer layer with a detachable fleece inside, 2 huge inside pockets for gloves/hats etc, wateproof outside pocket on your chest for phones, super warm and looks great, best jacket I ever had and for 30 quid.

Aldi Bray yesterday was swamped, couldnt get near the displays all day.

Bet its S or XXL, L sizes that actually fit are gone in a day in Aldi and Lidl these days, also the amount of time Ive spent standing on train platforms in the freezing cold while nice and snug is worth a lot more than €12 to me so Ha Ha all you like

My local Aldi has a good bit of stuff left but it looks like a tornado hit the place,Lidl has loads of ski wear in stock since their promotion last week & even have some reduced in price.

Does anyone else find this a small bit weird or even disturbing?

The country is in the toilet bowl and some peeps are out killing each other to get ski and winter gear that they could get for around the same price in the likes of TK Maxx or even online?

Someone said it right earlier... i can just see a rake of yummy mummies saying "this would look great on Aoibheann and Fearghus"

People can be mad sometimes!

Cheapset winter boots I saw in TK Max in Blachardstown today was 30 euro.

20 euro in Aldi will do me nicely indeed.:D


Plus Aldi is only 2 minutes up the road from my house and dont have the hassle of going out to Blanch and trying to get parking either.;)

The vast majority of the adult population have, and continue to work. True that some have fallen on hard times, but for the bulk of the population, it's business as usual. And I say fair f**ks to them. Plenty of bargains to be had. Too many begrudgers out there with the same old "country is in the shìtter" babble.
This is a BA forum.
There are more suitable areas to post gloom & doom shíte.

Kind of on topic,Aldi in Enniscorthy had winter jackets reduced from €24.99 to €9 & dayglo long sleeve running tops for €4.99 (handy for Winter walkers)

I picked up a nice pair of hiking shoes for €8.49,they were marked as reduced to €11.49.Lots of other boots there that were suitable as Winter boots reduced also.

I assume the reductions are nationwide depending on stock.

BTW. Mr.Price has snow/ice grips that are almost identical to the Aldi ones for €1.49 a pair.

Bit off topic but anyone notice that the Harvey Norman lad must be hitting the xanax in a big way judging by the latest media ads
