    Never seen the likes of it before and i go there all the time, the place was Jammed you could barely walk around with all the trolleys there, all 6 checkouts were open and in all six of them the lineup was going all the way down the Aisles:eek: people had full trolleys of food, the car park was Jammed as well with plenty of BMW'S and SUV'S, it looks like people are finally getting some sense and not shopping in Tesco or Dunnes anymore.

    79c for punnets of peaches, nectarines and plums. I could have bought them all except obviously I'd never get them eaten. I remember there was a time a punnet of the likes would cost you nearly 4e. It pays to shop around. However I do know a few people who are still snobbish towards the likes of LIdl, Aldi etc..Get over it!

    What pisses me off about Lidl is there are no baskets. I don't want a big fcuk off trolley thank you, and I don't want to carry around my 5 or 6 items in a box either.

    I prefer tesco over lidl now. I'd only go to lidl for beer or fruit and veg. Tesco has massively lowered their prices and about time.

    Do all my shopping in Spar/Centra! Can afford to - no kids, no car, don't smoke, don't drink, and a safe job.

    I brushed my teeth this morning.
    Usually I do them after breakfast.
    But today I did them before breakfast.
    I thought it would make the food taste different but it didn't really.

    I've seen people doing this. Can't say I'm keen on the idea though... I'd feel like I was stealing :o


    I'd buy some fruit and veg in Lidl. But as Jaffa20 said, Tesco have dropped their prices a lot, so I shop there mostly.

    Yeah, but Tesco have taken most of the Irish made goods off their shelves and are importing English sh1te now.

    Lidl is no busier than it has been for the last few years. Mine has always been busy.

    I'm a major carnivore. Not a big fan of the selection of meat they have there. Every time I go in I end up buying an air mattress or some new screw drivers or something handy like that (and they're always a bargain) but I wouldn't do much food shopping there. Their electronics seem to be pretty good quality too. I don't like to eat processed food so most of the bargains are lost on me. They have some good free range meats though that are very cheap and the sandwich fillers are decent.

    I'd say the no basket thing is deliberate. That you'll go in there and figure since you're going to be stuck behind someone with a big trolley of stuff while you've just got about 3 things, you might as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb and buy more stuff. I like Aldi better than Lidl - I think they've got more variety and some of their stuff is better quality - but you can't fault either of them on most of what they sell.

    I admit I was quite snobby about shopping there myself when they first arrived (about six/seven years ago?). I had a good laugh at the cheapo brands, like instead of ''Wash and Go'' shampoo they had ''Wash and Leave''.:D

    But you can't fault the prices, and the sweets, crisps, chocolate and booze are all good quality and cheap.

    I usually buy snackage there, as you can see. If I was living out of my parents' home, I'd probably buy all my groceries here. I still laugh at how you can find snorkelling equipment next to the frozen peas though. :pac:

    Has anyone tried those "tiger" loaves in Tesco? They're these big loaves of proper crunchy bread and they're only a euro. I just had some there, it was still warm and all.

    Savage.
