Lidls version of the Nutribullet

    Was at aldi in Parnell street at 8.50 this morning. About five people there. Great I thought

    By 9am there were about 30 people. When the doors opened there was a scrum to get in and people running down the aisle

    They probably only had about 7-9 in stock. OT was poorly laid out cos you didn't know where they were (in middle of aisle with everything else). People who were looking for other things were getting caught up

    The older men/women were a disgrace barging in and cursing. I've never seen anything like it. Probably what a black Friday event would be like!

    I refused to get involved in the madness so I had to walk away empty handed

    Surely a better way to organise it. The stock was far too low. 7-9?? Perhaps staff were holding some for friends. And there should be a ticketing system or something. Not fair on those in the queue to miss out because of the disgraceful behaviour of others. Maybe I'm too soft but I might just buy the real version!

    if you can pick up a nutri ninja cheap on amazon or argos, it's well well worth it.

    Aldi in Greystones got 7 and were sold out by 9.01 one minute after opening, Bray got 12 and were sold out in the same time as Greystones. It's so annoying and some people bought 2 and 3 of them and with such limited stock that shouldn't be allowed it should be 1 per customer

    Just used it for the first time.

    Water, Greek yogurt, frozen berries, banana, kiwi and ice.

    Pulverized it all in seconds no problem, very happy camper.

    Didn't get one myself, has anyone seen the Twitter bashing they are getting from the lack of stock?from experience has anyone seen aldi bring back the deal due to stock issues. I say this with hope before I buy the closest thing to it for 50 quid more

    Any links to the best online options. Must be some equal options online somewhere.

    The deal wont be back until this time next year. Same as all the other deals they do - once they're gone, they're gone!

    Don't give up hope on finding one just yet. Check the Store locator on Aldi.ie and maybe some store(s) in the less populated areas will still have some. Maybe you have friends/family living in these areas?

    Budget Or Bust? Nutrition Blenders Put To The Test.

    Battle of the blenders: are the Nutribullet's cheap rivals any good?

    That ludicrous, their deals are not once in a year at all. Sure the cycling gear is on every 2-3 months. With such a demand for these, they will be back before the summer.

    Real bargain basement alternative for anyone that fancies it.
    Eurogiant stores have a 250w nutrient blender machine for €25.

    A more suitable alternative would probably be the Salter NutriPro for £50.

    No, not ludicrous! Most specials are seasonal - like the cycling gear.
    High demand items - TVs, laptops, Sat Navs etc - are not necessarily rerun.

    Couldnt agree more... bought the NutriNinja for £65 on amazon (plus €3 Paecel Wizard). Extremely happy with it. have been using it daily for the past 2 weeks so possibly well passed the "honeymoon period". My daughter is drinking kale and carrot smoothies which is almost a miracle!
    The motor is a bit more powerful than the Lidl one but it may not make that much of a difference. Although in general on a kitchen appliance like this I would rather buy a name brand product. Had a Lidl regular blender and it became unusable after about a year as the rubber bit that connects the motor to the blades lost its grip.

    That is possibly the worse Lidl I've ever seen (including Italy and Spain where I've lived before). Its what I imagine food shopping must've been like in the USSR during the cold war when they were rationing food:
    People ripping stuff from eachother's hands, stealing stuff from baskets and trolleys left unattended, security guards muscling people left and right... it truly is a pretty sad and frustrating experience

    I have the Nutri Go 900W and I find it superb. Got it in Tescos. It's €59 but I had a voucher so I got it for €49.
    It hasn't failed me yet with any blend.

    http://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=290613275

    No info on their website but it's available to purchase online. It's called the Prolectrix.

    Don't bother with electronic stuff from EuroGiant. They are rubbish.

    You can get the Kenwood Smoothie2Go 300W for less than €30 in the likes of Argos and Currys. I have one and its brilliant.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,534 ✭✭✭skinny90


    I put in 50 euro and got 39.78 pound. Spent 29 out of the 39 pound. AP should cost circa 3.95 to Galway

    Didn't know this offer was on. Got a Nutribullet pro for my birthday last December, with a view to improving fruit/veg intake and sorting out my frankly embarrassing cholesterol levels, which were measured at 6.2 about three years ago. That was the 'bad' LDL cholesterol. The 'good' stuff's reading was so low it registered as zero. Being a typical bloke, I made no changes and never went back to see had it improved or otherwise. 'Be grand', I thought. Anyway, about a month ago I took a notion to go for a recheck, just to see where things stand today. Now, just for context, I made no other significant changes to my lifestyle. I was always active. Just had a terrible diet. The only change was diet. Just the smoothies. Spinach, porridge oats, yoghurt, walnuts, almonds, berries, fruit, honey and seeds. I have two a day, for breakfast and lunch. The big cup, full to the brim. Very filling.

    When I went in for the blood test the nurse looked shocked. She'd expected to see a 25st man coming through the door, based on my old results. Obviously genetic she said. At serious risk of heart attack or stroke. Bad luck. Statins for me. Family history etc. A few days after the test I phoned for the results. She wouldn't tell me. I had to see the doctor to get them. I made the appointment and went in, expecting bad news. What I was told was that he had never seen such remarkable results, especially given that the only change (which he had a hard time taking my word for) was diet. So, I now have an overall cholesterol score of 4.2. I've taken it as a bit of a challenge. Triglycerides are still a bit high. They don't respond well to statins, so we're not bothering. I'll continue the food stuff, and up the aerobic exercise, and plan to go back for another test in August. Aiming to get it down to under 4. :D

    Moral of the story? These yokes are a simple and effective way to eat really well. Use them. They don't belong at the back of a cupboard!

    Thanks skinny, the HUT option is out of stock and I cant do the whole parcel service thingy to get something from the UK...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,534 ✭✭✭skinny90


    I did it two nights ago for the first time via the post office. It's actually quite easy, just get the address the post office gives you and use the revolut card in sterling(again it's really easy to set up)

    I bought one and don't regret it. So handy. I have a big smoothie maker but stopped using it due to the cleaning and hassle involved.

    This ones great as it makes me a smoothie and rinses clean in seconds ready for its next go.

    I've never used a nutribullet but having used a proper big smoothie maker I don't see any difference in the quality.

    €50 well spent in my eyes.
