    You must have a very poor opinion of Irish food producers
    The company which supplies Aldi’s steaks and its fresh burgers is AIBP Meats. The same company supplies meat to Londis, Tesco and Superquinn.
    Premium fillet steaks in Superquinn cost €9.99, or €49.95 a kilo. In Aldi, the same fillets from the same animals cost €13.99 for 400g, or €34.97 per kg.
    Aldi’s Snackrite Okey Dokeys Crinkle Cut Crisps cost €1.99 for twelve 25g packets. The crisps are made by Largo Foods, better known as the makers of Hunky Dorys crisps. A six-pack of identically-sized Hunky Dorys was selling last week in another major supermarket for €2.15 – or over 100 per cent more expensive.
    Well-known relish and jam makers from Cork, and artisan producers of yoghurts and bread also make products for Aldi which sell for less than their own branded products. This begs the question why more Irish people are not hunting out these supermarket-branded products..............
    There are 107 Irish producers making food for Aldi......................

    Coffee, tea, ketchup, mayonnaise, cat food (nobody has told cats that we're in a recession). Apart from that I find most stuff is as good if not better than branded items.

    I bought their tea for the first time last week and it is delicious (McGrath's Aldi). It was on the news last week in a taste test Lidl had the best mayo followed by Aldi then Hellman's and then Heinz

    I do find their catfood too salty

    Genuine lol.

    Lol at the people saying they wouldn't touch anything from Lidl or Aldi. Some clients.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,188 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


    Must say it kills me when people mispronounce Lidl.

    Itz Lee-dil. Not Lie-del or lid-l.

    Their fruits aren't great. Maybe I'm storing them wrong, but the seem to go down in quality within a day or two:S


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,234 ✭✭✭Thwip!


    Aldi's tiger bread, bread of the gods

    Only thing i dont like is their bottled water. Just cause its not refrigerated

    It just seems to be fruit in general,we've stuff from Dunnes and had to dump it within 3 days.

    @jpcarlow,do you not have a fridge at home? Or pick up some bottled water in the store & hide it in one of the freezers then pick it up after you've completed your shop before you head to the tills.

    I personally do not purchase any form of cheese from Aldi or Lidl most of the time, unless its from a good, reputable brand that I recognize. For other basic stuff like bread or other grocery shopping, you can get some good deals.

    I love the salmon in Lidl...yummy!! The brown box of luxury in Aldi is great and brilliant value.. prefer it to any branded stuff. Saw the fruit flavoured cider (red 75cl bottle) was wondering has anyone tried this?? Blueberries 65 cent today in Aldi.. brilliant!!

    Their cheese is excellent & they have a great range of stuff.I got a kilo of mild cheddar on offer in Lidl recently for €5,didn't last long as my young fella devours the stuff.

    Don't trust brands,Kilmeaden cheese isn't even made in Kilmeaden anymore-it's made in Ballyragget.;)

    There's not much I won't eat but a few things I'd prefer not to, and the newish Lidl fresh soups are now on that list. There are just so non discript tasteless and boring, if if thats not bad enough the texture is sort of ....... well I won't say as you need to try it for yourself I'm sure someone will like it :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 660 ✭✭✭jupiterjack


    have to agree, the cheese is fantastic in Lidl


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,160 ✭✭✭Eurovisionmad


    Butter, cereal, sausages and tea!

    Have to say Lidl's streaky rashers are lovely, very tasty and in fairness aren't too full of water!
    I love the mayo also I think it's "Vita D'Or"

    The soft goats milk cheese is less than half the price of anywhere else is is really good.

    Worse than that,Kilkenny: They stir it with hurls until they get cheese.:pac:

    I like the cheese in Lidl as well. I avoid the German style black bread though...it tastes like tar. Generally I have no problems buying most things there - they're trusted now as one of the worlds biggest retailers (along with aldi). Some old statistics show the German stores are among the worlds top 20 most popular brands. I'd still pay a few euro more in Dunnes to avoid the ques...headwrecking.
