I make a very good living and have no mortgage, I have a pretty high level of expendable income, I still check for Aldi super six and special buy items.

I'd rather spend big money on a weekend in Berlin or a ski trip in France than on my weekly shop.

Do you meet up with Aongus?

God no. I prefer to meet actual people instead of fictional characters.

They're currently sipping a glass of superb brandy in their club.

I'm currently drinking a mug of tea on my couch.

Going on holiday isn't the reserve of fictional financial services workers.

I personally prefer Tesco to lidl and aldi.

Tesco:
I know the layout, where everything on my list is, great selection of items if something wasn't there, and spacious.
Plus the club point points are quite good and useful. But they sometimes send bad vouchers, like I've gotten ones for cat and dog food, and I've never bought pet food! Or for 5c off a E10 box of washing detergent, when I've never spent more that E5 on the stuff.
But the express and extra stores, awful. I would only ever go in to one to get milk.

lidl & aldi:
I have never been able to come out or lidl or aldi with more than 3 things because I get flustered and confused whenever I go in, plus they never have what I need!
Plus the tills/packing area is useless.

M&S: rip off and I always feel cold when I'm there. I don't know if it's the dark flooring, but have never felt at all comfortable to stay there for more than 5 minutes.

Dunnes: sometimes good prices on 3 for 2, but there isn't any large food halls around me to be able to do a shop! The only one near me is Henry street, and it's worse than a Tesco express.

These are just my opinions and experiences.

My niece is a teacher in a private school and tell me she couldn't be seen at school in an outfit out of Dunnes stores.

Feck's sake. And Dunnes has actually got some really lovely clothes that could believably have been purchased in a fancier place.

Ali Hewson shot a Vuitton ad* wearing the gear in question accessorised by Oxfam (her own pick). Money does not buy class. Never has. Never will. It'll catch you a bargain but only if you have the eyes in your head and not what other people tell you.

*Herself and the lesser half getting off the private jet in Safari Land.

Lolburger.

That is the most ridiculous nonsense I have ever read. As if teachers in private schools in Ireland earned large incomes... bah.

I can't imagine why you'd be embarrassed shopping in Aldi/Lidl. I think people were more likely to be eejits like that 10-15 years ago. Nowadays, shopping in the cheaper shops is what allows people to have their snazzy cars or holidays.

I swapped from Tesco to Aldi and like it, though I'll go to Tesco sometimes for particular stuff I can't get in Aldi. I do save about 80 quid a month but the main reason I keep going there now is that it's too much effort to go to the massive Tesco in my town. It takes too long to walk around and the queues are no shorter than Aldi. Supervalu is good for some things but too dear for a big shop and I'm not gone on a lot of their own brand stuff.

I'm only embarrassed when I have to shop in the kids section because the adult sizes are too big.

If I have the money I'll generally shop in Dunneses, as I feel Ben Dunne is my kind of guy.

If Im looking to penny pinch, or just want to see what's fashionable among people who do drugs, it's Lidl.

Lidl reminds me of when I was on the (Bob) Dole. (and didn't have a bob)

The only place i'd be embarrassed of shopping would be an adult store, for a dido or what have you.

I feel your pain, and i want to help!

(excellent quality, and much better than the ones on special offer in Aldi, which turned out to be power washers!)
