Is this deal for definite? Its not mentioned on their website.

edit: sorry didn't look properly.

shortys94 · 16-04-2006 07:56PM

it is, on thursday special buys

Boggles · 20-04-2006 12:10PM

Anyone get these cables? Is it 3.99 each or for the set?

dogbert_the_dog · 20-04-2006 12:57PM

nope, the cables are €3.99 each.... I was disappointed too!

dogbert_the_dog · 20-04-2006 01:00PM

.... though looking at their website it says €3.99 per set, but the shop I went tohad them priced at €3.99 each, they're all packaged separately & I got charged €3.99 for the one cable I bought. How the hell does one cable constitute a set???

I was thinking that was far too cheap even for them.

Thanks for the update, saved me a trip. Price seemed a bit low but here was me hoping anyways!

red_fox · 20-04-2006 01:58PM

Everything on the website says you should get all 5 for 3.99, it refers to the price as 'per set' and even the name of the item is cable assortment, does anyone have the paper newsletter with the offer because if you were to wave that at a manager you should (hopefully) get the five as advertised.

What a jip - was just goin up for a wander there. Booo!!!!

EDIT:
http://www.aldi.ie/special_buys/product_1612.html read Assortment and Each by the price.
We are all blind

alastair_doom · 20-04-2006 02:50PM

quite sure it says 'per set' on newsletter..... afair...

MunsterCycling · 20-04-2006 03:16PM

Maybe someone should let here know about this, clear false / misleading advertising and in breach of the code.

Fr0g · 20-04-2006 03:46PM

It says "per set" on the newsletter and "each" on the website
I read the newsletter thinking it was "per set" I din't check the website until now.

MunsterCycling · 20-04-2006 04:03PM

Where you see that? Here: http://www.aldi.ie/special_buys/index.html

red_fox · 20-04-2006 04:12PM

I'm pretty sure when I saw it on their site it was per set, they must have changed it at about two today.

I think someone at Aldi made a mistake and published the price of €3.99 as being for the set of 5, this is likely as they're packaged indivually.

I wasn't looking to buy these but if I hadn't just bought an RJ45 I'd have made a special trip into Aldi this morning, they made a mistake but they should have honoured what they had advertised, I'm sure alot of people have gone in only to be disappointed.

D-2-D-G · 20-04-2006 04:59PM

it was definatley per set

I went in on thursday to buy a set for €3.99, when I got there they were €3.99 for each cable. There was only one cable in each package. I tried to find out what the story was and was abruptly told that they were €3.99 each as per the price above the bin.
