    Lidl is far better. The only thing better in Aldi is the frozen prawns

    Aldi > Lidl

    Lidl for the following products;

    The Orange Juice in the glass bottle with bits is delightful.

    The pack of 5 mini choc bars.

    AND

    The southern fried chicken steaks in the little green packet are the best value item in the history of shopping EVER.

    Both are equally as cheap if you rob stuff like me.

    Aldi, if you're gonna shop with the great unwashed, you might as well do it properly. :D

    Depends on what you buy. Prefer Aldi though as they have more brand names I'm familiar with

    Aldi is cheaper for the following;

    Breaded Scampi, Bread, Laptops, Desk Mounted G-Clamps, Wet Suits, Taboggans, Snow Boards, Helicopter gearboxes, ping pong tables, Small mints in silver boxes, straw for rabbit hutches, do-it-yourself water features, small oval mirrors.

    Lidl for;

    Snowmobile engine oil, milk, peppered cheese, Lamborghini bonnet badges, pickled Cauliflower, tinned frankenfurters, gerbil weaning milk, 15 denier tights, worming powder and solar powered toilet seats.

    Evertything else is hit-and-miss.

    Daddy or chips?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Lidl.

    Aldi seems up itself. Lidl's shite and it knows it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,382 ✭✭✭✭greendom


    As Namlub mentioned, as a rule of thumb Aldi is slightly better quality and Lidl slightly cheaper

    Aldi is so much better. Very good quality food which is locally sourced.

    Their lip gloss actually won an award at the Prudence Beauty Awards last night and their nail polish is great too!!!
