    aldi seem to have been caught behind this week alright with loads of offers from Dunnes copying or even beating their prices. Wonder how long Dunnes can actuallly afford to keep it up if it hits their bottom line.

    Nothing i like more than watching supermarket price wars:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭maynooth_rules


    Lidl seem to be upping their game fruit wise over the past few weeks too. lovely raspberries were one euro, green and black grapes are one eur as are clementines. All great quality


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,172 ✭✭✭cosmic


    This week's Super 6, all 39c:

    Cherry tomatoes, 250g
    Cucumber, each
    Iceberg lettuce, each
    Celery, each
    Salad potatoes, 1kg
    Scallions, bunch

    I'm a bit disappointed really. Salad weather is definitely over. I was really hoping for some nice wintery veg.

    LOL, be careful what you wish for. Sun is shining here in Dublin and about 20C

    Still very much summer in my book :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭maynooth_rules


    Pretty dreadful super 6 but they tend to have a poorish one after a having a super six with great choice the previous week

    Cosmic, I just got a Tesco leaflet in my door and if you want wintery veg they have a sweetheart cabbage, carrot & parsnip tray and green beans for 29c this week.

    The other things are 3 Lemons, Cherry Tomatoes and Mixed Chillies.

    Chillies freeze very well so are great to get in special. Just bang them in the freezer and run them under the hot tap when you want to use them.

    I was also thinking of making chilli jam for Christmas presents so might stock up.

    Ah thanks :) I was actually in there this morning and picked up some cabbage, green beans and chillis! I also got a bag of onions for 35c, a turbip for 45c and a big bunch of broccoli for 45c in Dunnes. It was in the little Dunnes in the Ashleaf, Dublin, but I reckon they'll all have the same deal.

    Anybody know if the grapes are seedless? Too much hassle taking the seeds out for the kids.

    Red Globe usually aren't. If I'm right they are a quite a large grape but not seedless.

    I don't eat grapes so I cut one in half and they have seeds in them and they are large!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    Even though they aren't seedless they are superb in flavour


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭deiseindublin

    bargain.

    Woooo! Finally! Great to see cabbage, broccoli and leeks in there too. Going to get some good curries and soups going this week :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭Pang


    Great selection this week! So long salad vegetables!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 31,117 ✭✭✭✭snubbleste


    Tesco have a super seven at 39c
    Leek
    Limes 3
    Scallions
    Radishes 240g
    Carrots 500g
    Red Grapes 250g
    Rooster potatoes 1kg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭maynooth_rules


    Are the grapes in Aldi a big let down for anybody else. Half of them are mouldy when you open the packet, and as soon as you open the packet the rest turn mouldy in a day

    No, they have clear packaging and I always look underneath :confused:

    I think they are great in taste. So what if they have seeds, when I was growing there was no such thing as seedless grapes:pac:

    Her indoors bought a few bits in the new local Aldi last week. Among the stuff was iceberg lettuce and a large head of broccoli.

    The salad turned brown in a day after slicing and storing and the broccoli looked like a bridal bouquet with the amount of flowers growing out of it, shortly after purchase. Never happened with her usual dunnes stuff. Same fridge same temp. Weird:confused:

    These comments happen all the time in this thread, you'd swear loads of people from Dunnes are monitoring this thread to complain about Aldi and praise Dunnes for some childish reasons.

    Aldi's fruit and veg are very good.

    Go and make a Dunnes thread if you love it so much.

    I have shopped in aldi for years and think their fruit and veg are as fresh as you will get anywhere! they certainly don't go off as quickly as you describe unless they have been left in the sun on the back seat of the car for a few hours in the free Aldi carpark while "her indoors" goes around the town window shopping for the afternoon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭maynooth_rules


    I have been shopping for years myself in Aldi. usually find their fruit and veg to be top quality but their standards have most definitely dropped in the last year

    Like all other supermarkets the price of goods and transport has risen such a lot that they have to cut costs in other areas, Aldi have recently introduced an economy brand comparable to the Tesco "valu" brand. they have increased some prices but also instead of raising prices on some products they have reduced pack sizes. this practice happens much more in other supermarkets due to the huge number of different brands and varieties available so aldi are miles ahead as far as prices and value for money when compared to the main three.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,809 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    My opinion to fruit/veg/meat shopping is you have to examine it in the shop to make sure it looks fresh and good to get good quality, you can meet a poor quality product in any shop. I don't understand how people can just walk around a shop and throw meat/veg/fruit into a trolley without even looking at it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,764 ✭✭✭funnyname


    Great thread

    Would it be possible to update the title with date of latest update and how long it's valid for?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 31,117 ✭✭✭✭snubbleste


    I ate a whole 500g of their grapes for lunch. They're yum.

    I was hoping lemons would be in it because I want to make lemon curd for Xmas presents. Not sure what I'd do with loads of limes though. I may hold out and hope they have just lemons on special in the next few weeks!

    I slice them up and freeze them. Then I pop them into drinks as I need them. Doubles up as a flavour enhancer and an ice cube

    I could do that, that's a good idea! i do have a large chest freezer so loads of room. Each 250ml jar of lemon curd needs 4 lemons though so I'd have to plan a lot of drinking in my future :)

    Maybe there is some kind of chutney that uses limes?

    /goes to research!

    For anyone interested: They put the Super 6 on the website -- https://www.aldi.ie/en/product-range/super-6/

    Also available on the aldi app as a web link.

    Lime curd? (not trying to be smart - tesco's finest lime is even tangier than their lemon curd ... like a 1980's opal fruit on toast!)

    Mmm, opal fruits :) I was thinking having lemon curd and lime curd might be a much but it could be nice. I could also juice them and freeze the juice. I've always wanted to make key lime pie too. Lots of options!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    When the hell are we gonna get Apples on the cheap - paid 3,49 in lidl this morning for 2kg gala.

    The problem with baking is I'll just eat it all myself :)

    I was wondering if we'd get any apples on special anytime soon too.I was going to make and freeze some apple purée for the baby (I'm making myself sound like housewife of the year here!!). I was surprised not too see them in the super 6 yet

    Prob nearer Halloween, it's crazy as this is when Irish apples are ripe for the picking,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,043 ✭✭✭MurdyWurdy


    It's a pity there's no pick your own places around. I think people would really go for it. I used to do I when I lived abroad )the place we went to had pick your own chillies which was fab) The best apple I've ever eaten was taken directly from the tree.
