    Tesco has some fruit&veg 4 for 1 euro. Normally I would consider 4 pineapples for 1 euro amazing deal, but compared to what Dunnes/Aldi/Lidl are doing this is a joke!

    4 bags of carrots in Tesco 1 euro, in others around 20 cents!

    Hope the farmers supplying these supermarkets aren't getting it in the gicker pricewise because of these offers.

    Supermarkets are not here for the farmers benefit, or anybody else for that matter.

    it will be very interesting if there is a turkey war.

    The butchers depend hugely on this time of year, if Aldi/Lidl were to come out with some unreal deal, it'd be carnage.

    They aren't free, they are low priced.

    And what's more is that I've only ever seen fruit and veg at this low of a price at christmas - a time that the less well off are more vunerable than normal

    I love it anyway, years ago buying veg was a big cost of the xmas dinners now there not even 1% of the cost of the dinner.

    Give it a few more years at current prices and you won't be able to find vegetables other than the waxed, 4000 air mile, chemically treated stodge anywhere.
    Might not be 1% of the cost now but we will be paying very dearly in the future for the devaluation of natural food... Infact when the prices go back up what will happen, more crap processed food, vegetables FAR too expensive to even consider eating.
    Big farce.

    They were 6c in Aldi too, great value, they want to start paying about €10 per bag of brussels sprouts before I'd take them, rotten things and a ban on bruseels sprouts would see a 10% drop in C02 and Methane emissions, who could eat a vegetable that smells like a raw sewer is beyond me.

    After being in Aldi getting oranges for 6c I walk into Tesco and see bags of oranges '2 for €3'

    Step your game up Tesco.

    Aldi currently doing half price on a round roast circa €6 for 1.2kgs. Had it last weekend and it was perfectly good. Bought a couple of more this week to stock the freezer.

    I remember that last year Tesco were selling Turkeys at half price on the 24th. I will wait until then.

    Now for my third bowl of sprouts.............

    I was in Aldi Maynooth last night and noticed that the carrots are French and the Brussels Sprouts are Dutch . So don't worry the irish grower wont have to sell below cost he can just plough his crops back into the ground and tell his/her children that they better study hard in school and get a job in the big smoke!

    As far as I can see, they are the same fruits and vegs that are usually sold at full price. The pineapples are Fyffe, the carrots, sprouts and parsnips are Irish. I remember buying the same clementines 2 weeks ago for 1.49€ or so.

    More than anything, I guess the stores are taking the loss to drive people in. And as far as I could see yesterday, it works

    Carrots in Lidl are Irish. Potatoes are French, but then they are the ones usually sold in Lidl the rest of the time.
    Dunnes carrots and parsnips and sprouts are Irish

    Yeah, there is no real appetite to stop cheap alcohol being sold, which can do serious damage to people, but when something healthy is being sold cheap the politicians ( Mairead McGuinness ) get on their high horse.

    Some twisted priorities here.

    I'm sure that the stores are taking the loss themselves however what's going to happen to all the growers who have been growing veg to supply to all the non Aldi, Tesco, Dunnes etc suppliers like your local fruit and veg shop and the vegetable suppliers in Smithfield - that stuff potentially will get ploughed into the ground.

    They have an ad in the newspapers: like this (insert pics of fruits and vegs deals in Lidl and Aldi), then you'll like this (insert pic of price promise in Tesco): fruits and vegs now included in the price promise deal

    The veg deals are 5 cents in Lidl, so if you were to get 2 for 3€, it means Tesco will give you a voucher for 2.90€. At this rate, they will lose thousands :confused:

    Farmers are currently buying up all the cheap produce in Dunnes, St Stephens Green.

    I know there's people complaining that Tesco aren't competing but they've apparently worked hard with their relationships with their growers, they're not going to mess that up.

    Dont think they will loose thousands.
    I think there is a time limit on when you can spend these vouchers- so maybe not all of these vouchers will get spent.
    They have already over charged you on these items so they have made some profit on these, and when/if you go to spend your voucher, chances are your buying other inflated priced items to use your vouchers.
    In my opinion its a clever marketing ploy to get you to spend even more in there store.... And to get you to keep coming back by giving you a few cents here and there....
