Speaking of juice. The vitafit orange juice is just €1.45 for 1.25 litres. Its not from concentrate and is lovely.

Someone please explain that mad-looking repeated Spanish-looking smilie at the end of this post. I have looked at it a few ways now, and am still flummoxed...

Do I have to learn a load of new Alt-codes or what?

No cooking oil again,they never seem to get the big bottles of it in

The chicken wings were a little bit rubbery for my liking, akin to the Big Als variants. The nuggets were OK and suit kids, but maybe not adults.

I have found the fish products to be very good, and I find their beer products excellent.

Thats because some people were abusing it (buying all the stock) as it makes a great substitute for diesel in older cars

Down our way it's local restauranteurs who were clearing the shelves of these items.

sure what difference would it make to Lidl if people were buying bulk loads of it? Surely that's the same to them?

It's still a good offer but Lidl have pushed up the price of Perlenbacher a lot over the last 2-3 years.

jeffk

Madness,I got a 4 or 5 of them the last time as they are hardly in and flew out.

Surely as someone says once they sell who cares who buys them for what purpose,not like people are doing anything illegal with them

True ... went from €6.49 to €6.99 to €7.29 in about a 9mth period.

In Germany the same 6 pack is €2.29

Alcohol duty and VAT (which most stuff Lidl sells doesn't have, but booze does) have been pushed up. Adds quite a bit.

German price makes me sick - but we are where we are.

That beer is very good - so that is a good bargain....in fact I just picked up a pack. Thanks OP.

I'd guess these are loss leaders (or have very little profit). They get people in who buy another couple of items which make them a profit.

Easy to counter though. They could say only one or two bottles per customer. They might not want the hassle though.

This is available as part of the XXL range - it's not by the normal Oils.

However they are charging us Irish €7.99 for the product that's Stg4.99 (a rate of exchange of 0.624 !!)

PLUS

It's cheaper to buy 5 x single litres of the same oil -

€1.59 x 5 = €7.95 !!!!

So why pay €7.99 and the exact same item is €7.95

Cop on Lidl ! Bad enough you robbing us in Ireland with your rate of exchange but then charging us more aswell !!

Got four this morning,strange they are not advertised

If you ever changed a deep fat fryer you'll gladly pay 5C for the big bottles the oil come in
Sure all the shops rip us off in one way or another,sterling is just a clear exaample.

My DFF takes about 2.5 litres of Oil.

Accelerated purchasing is all it is, there is no DEAL here from Lidl.

Ireland has higher vat rate, cost to employ and cost to rent a premises including rates. You are not being ripped off. I would pay the 5c extra for the convenience of the bigger bottle.

Cooking oil is 0% VAT here and the UK.

Fair enough but the other points still stand. Also they would have to transport it here at additional cost. That is assuming it's not an irish product as I am unsure of that.

Karen23

I don't think the cooking oil is much of a deal. You can get 5 litres in Dunnes for €7.89, ok you won't get it one bottle but you'll get it at that price all the time rather than stocking up on this one.

byte

Got a few 8-packs of Perlenbacher, great stuff! Even better when 8 for price of 6.

Thanks OP for the heads-up!

Lidl Newry - Stg 4.99

Lidl Dundalk - Eur 7.99

Wtf?

WTF?

They're in the same national territory serviced by national supermarkets who can't realistically surcharge different regions to reflect increased transport costs but must charge uniform prices (ie. subsidise peripheral areas). In the ROI, Lidl and the rest are under no such legal impediment - transport on 5Lt items like this is probably a larger cost differential than higher wages, admin costs, etc.

irishproduce

I think the higher cost is just plain old that the retailers find it irresistible. As much as we like to think Lidl and Aldi are different...they are staffed by the same industry staff from other retailers and it is just simply too irresistible not to charge a few percent on top of exchange rates etc

Very true. I used to do it. Any of the old Toyota's Mercs in fact most diesals without common rail injection can take pure veggie oil as fuel.

My Toyota Hilux ran on it for years. Supervalu sold it for 60c a liter. I went in twice a week and filled the trolley. Very cheap and much better for the environment than Diesel oil .

About four years ago, they copped on. As did the government Doubled the price and that was the end of that .

Anyone with rapeseed fuel got taxed as much as the oil smokers. Oil companies must get paid. Sponsored by the so called green party.

The xxxl sale starts back Monday....but the 8 for 6 Perelenbacher is out on the floor in Lidl Tallaght village today.

As they say in Germany - "jackpot"
