    Forget going this evening as they were all gone since 10am, like the rest of these deals I'd say but good luck to those that get them

    Hopefully the phone notifications from the app go out early each morning unlike when I got mine this evening at 5.20

    Jaysus that's very good. In dunnes those selection boxes are €4.

    I'll add the deals into the OP as they come, just in case it gets a few pages long and it's way easier to check Post #1 for the deals. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3 UknowY


    ...and "Premium Chocolate Santa" 184g for €1
    *Usually €2.49


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,489 ✭✭✭Yamanoto


    As generic thread titles go, t'was a good 'un.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭bigwillie


    Very little stock in Clondalkin, only about 20 selection boxes, all gone 10 past eight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,432 ✭✭✭✭Wanderer78


    It's only stuff folks, it won't make that much difference to your life. Enjoy your Christmas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭rustledjimmies


    In there at 08:40 - selection boxes a distant memory apparently!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 855 ✭✭✭mickoneill31


    It's a m&m selection box for 1 euro... Limited to 3 per person.

    Dunno where they're going with the "was €2.49" on their ad.

    Same in Nenagh at 09:10 pretty disgraceful imo. Lady in front of me had 5 cases in her trolley. So much for the 3per customer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭lmimmfn


    Plenty in Mullingar, lady behind me had 10, checkout girl stopped her but let her through with 6 and 2 receipts

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

    It's cnuts like her that grab them all who ruin it for everybody. The till operator should have just given her 3. Trying to buy 30 is taking the piss.
    I just wanted 3 for the kids and a couple of the Santa's as part of presents but everything was cleared out. I'd swear if lidl put sh1t on a stick as one of the offers people would grab them up.

    You can ring customer service to complain. The number is free. I did and suggested they put a restriction on the tills like when you can only buy 1 paracetamol product due to the regulations. It takes it out of the till operators hands. No one can take the piss and buy 40 selection box's. But the big problem is that there isn't near enough stock allocated. A corner shop would sell out by mid morning never mind a lidl

    Mate told me all gone in Wex too, said he was in at 8.15 and none left that a worker told him he doesnt know Lidl bother sending in so little stock to them of both items.

    Of course we know the answer - get people in the door more often than not the will buy something else, whether the offer is there or gone.

    That woman with the 5 cases pisses me off, their should be a restriction at the till.

    I have decided to ignore their promotion in protest at the pathetic nature of it.
    I suggest others do the same.
    I still use lidl, but won't frequent it any more than I do.

    For those paying attention, Tesco are doing €12 off a €60 in their mailing so at least with them, you know the discount is there because its in your pocket.

    Lidl should have stuck to their €10 off €50 like other years instead of this pathetic promo. I hope the dope who's bright idea it was to run this (cheaper) promo, finds that he/ she was not successful and costs Lidl a fortune on reduced income based on last year.

    They did something similar last year, the items were free, but you had to bring in a printed coupon to get them. There didn't seem to be an shortage as there was extra effort required to have coupon.

    EDITED TO ADD: maybe that was two years ago. Christmas was a blur for me last year.

    Not impressed with them this year either. Prices are creeping up and their XXL offers are often more expensive than the standard. I've borrowed the sisters Dunnes card and 20% till voucher a couple of times already stocking up for Christmas and the Mrs has those Tesco vouchers so its looking like i mightnt make it to Lidl at all this Christmas.

    Definitely one or both of these! That is pure p*sstaking if ever I saw.

    I'm assuming they're buying them for resale?

    My guess would be it was someone buying them (the one who bought 30 of them anyway!) for a club or a playgroup or something....
    Still not right if it was meant to be limited to 3 per person....

    I use lidl a lot, I like their store and simplicity of shopping there. My point is, I won't be getting sucked in to their store in the evenings looking for something that they simply don't have, but on the off chance they might get some other passing trade from me.
    Rather, I will continue to drop in at weekend to pick up stuff for my family's weekly shop.

    Sorry if that is not a dramatic enough protest but I am only being realistic.

    They only have that much at that price, thats how these things work and I haven't heard of a store that had too much stock so they done okay on allocation, the really good deals never last for more than a few hours sometimes theres a que before they even open. Buying 40 of them is a pisstake though, managers their must be soft af. Impractical to put the till lock on it as deals change daily and you'd have to redo it constantly

    They need to close down the comments on Lidl's Facebook page - people are just so ridiculous. These offers just seem to bring out the worst in everyone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2 Tiesto10


    Hi does anyone know what's on offer tomorrow for day 3 from lidil???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 676 ✭✭✭Fishy1


    Someone posted this question in the visitors' posts' section of Lidl's Facebook page. A reply from Lidl went as follows:


    Lidl Ireland Hi, tomorrow's offer is on Bushmills whiskey with a saving of €4


    Lidl Ireland Hi , under legislation alcohol can only be sold from 10.30am. There will be a quota of 3 applied. Price is €16.99, down from €20.99
