    Lidl is far better. The only thing better in Aldi is the frozen prawns


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Aldi > Lidl


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭Dan Chipowski


    Lidl for the following products;

    The Orange Juice in the glass bottle with bits is delightful.

    The pack of 5 mini choc bars.

    AND

    The southern fried chicken steaks in the little green packet are the best value item in the history of shopping EVER.

    Both are equally as cheap if you rob stuff like me.

    Aldi, if you're gonna shop with the great unwashed, you might as well do it properly. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 384 ✭✭hatetherain!


    Depends on what you buy. Prefer Aldi though as they have more brand names I'm familiar with


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    Ladl.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭Long Onion


    Aldi is cheaper for the following;

    Breaded Scampi, Bread, Laptops, Desk Mounted G-Clamps, Wet Suits, Taboggans, Snow Boards, Helicopter gearboxes, ping pong tables, Small mints in silver boxes, straw for rabbit hutches, do-it-yourself water features, small oval mirrors.

    Lidl for;

    Snowmobile engine oil, milk, peppered cheese, Lamborghini bonnet badges, pickled Cauliflower, tinned frankenfurters, gerbil weaning milk, 15 denier tights, worming powder and solar powered toilet seats.

    Evertything else is hit-and-miss.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Lidl.

    Aldi seems up itself. Lidl's shite and it knows it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,382 ✭✭✭✭greendom


    As Namlub mentioned, as a rule of thumb Aldi is slightly better quality and Lidl slightly cheaper


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 karimba


    Aldi is so much better. Very good quality food which is locally sourced.

    Their lip gloss actually won an award at the Prudence Beauty Awards last night and their nail polish is great too!!!

    Run!

    If they catch you they'll sell you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭cashback


    Aldi. Maybe their products just look better. Reassuringly expensive looking.
    Walking through Lidl, garish colours confront you from every shelf.

    Then again, I haven't been to Lidl in a while.

    Don't worry, there's still that moment when you first walk in and think you're in Slovenia

    That's a fact but a lot of very ordinary stuff too -wish I was like phasers and lived near both

    -a combined shop is the only real solution.

    Why can't this recession end so I can go back to shopping in Superquinn:D
