    Always find their offers great quality and last time i got a few bags of their apples lasted me 2 weeks and were still crisp. But I stored them in the shed where it was cool. they lasted very well and were nice and sweet. Can't compain at that price. Have never found their offers to be substandard tbh. :D Had a few of them stewed with custard too.

    Up to 59c for the new offers. Why dont they have them the same price. Some weeks its 29c then 39c now 59c. Still cheap but annoying that they vary the price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,099 ✭✭✭andrew1977


    I got some of those oranges yesterday and they are very nice, juicy and tasty.
    Of course give them a good examination before you buy them, as you find a bad one in amongst the pack.

    Anyone know what the pears are like - got them last time round and they were s**** ... hard and never really ripened, just went bad

    Hard as rocks
    I normally leave mine in a window at home, they soften/ripen enough in a few days.
    Still not as tasty as other pears, but wont grumble at the price.

    Its generally to do with the deal they can get off suppliers. Thats why the price changes.

    I believe Richard Bruton is currently drawing up legislation regarding low cost selling of fruit and veg,so no more Christmas deals at least.

    I understand that Aldi, at least, I don't know about competitors, do not force their Irish veg suppliers to absorb the cost of the discounts - they are borne by Aldi and presumably funded by higher margin on other products or by increased overall sales by attracting customers to come in the door.

    I stand to be corrected but I think Aldi is regarded by suppliers as a relatively decent company to deal with if the product meets the agreed standard.

    Mango was on special offer in Tesco last week - I bought a couple which ripened eventually but with no flavour! Rubbish....

    Tesco's is very good this week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 490 ✭✭darklighter


    As someone who generally isn't that impressed with most of Aldi's F&V offerings, there was really good flavour from the flat mushrooms this week!

    Similarly, punnet of nectarines at 0.99c were absolutely delicious, on a par with M&S ones

    Lads does the Aldi Super 6 on meat only happen from time to time or is it a regular thing ? I make up 2kg batches of chilli every month or so and freeze it so I'm always on the lookout for offers on mince and diced beef

    Every 2 weeks different offers, the first 2 weeks (3 weeks ago) there was 6 items for €3 and had Mince and Diced Beef in it, the second set of offers on offer 1 week already are €4 and it's chicken breasts, whole chicken and other stuff.

    Check www.aldi.ie and there is also a super 6 for meat products, check down a few pages in Bargain Alerts and you'll find it, all the info is there.

    EDIT - here ya go

    Thats an extra super six. Wonderful


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 400 ✭✭camz09


    Down to 37c in Aldi Mulhuddart today. Also, almost all fruit and veg on sale, got berries down to 11 per kilo compared to Lidl's berry sale, 12 per kg I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭GalwayGuy2


    Am I the only one that thinks theh super six meat is kind of crap?

    I was expecting it to be at least half price, but it's only like .70c off.

    Some of them have been good. Whole chicken for €2 the other week was a great price.

    €2 pack of Strawberries in Lidl are properly delicious.

    The Aldi apples on the super 6 are pretty poor quality. For the 10c extra I'm sure the Tesco bag would be better.

    Me too, Aldi are keeping Tesco honest on fruit and veg, not much else though...I hope Tescos market share keeps getting haemorrhaged by Aldi and Lidl, when it goes sub 20% maybe then the Irish consumer will see prices in Tesco that are on a par with their UK stores. They've been profiteering here for too long so it's nice to see their chickens coming home to roost.

    Happened to me before. Had to throw away 2 punnets (and paid full price:mad:) The greener they are, the sourer they are...

    I don't mind yellowish ones as they always have more sugar than the green ones. They might not last for long, but are edible at least.

    The apples in the current Super 6 are really poor as well. But on the other hand the White Potatoes are very good.

    I do lower my expectations when i spend 49c on fruits (i do expect these to be "fit for purpose", too). Haven't tried apples and oranges from a super6 offer yet, but the pineapples and courgettes were ok. The pineapples looked a bit smaller than the regular ones, but for 49 cents it is great deal.

    What is wrong with the apples btw?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    the oranges are nice, not terribly juicy but real easy to peel and eat with no mess

    They start discolouring no sooner than you bite into them and they are really not that juicy or nice.

    Looks like they have different batches of those from all over the place. I had the german ones before and they were fine. I have seen some from Argentina too, but didn't buy at that time so can't comment on them.
