bargain base in northwood (north dublin)

joe stodge

this shop just opened 2 weeks ago and seem to be selling discounted lidl special offers. they had a digital camera, portable dvd player and 22" t.v. this week all for 30 euro each. they only open thurs-sun though 11-7 and have new special offers every week.

€30 for a 22" tv? :eek:

Esel

Definitely worth a look. Thanks, OP.

Got myself a lovely little Cigar set (cutter, holding tube, whiskey tube, credit card space, leather case) for a fiver. And a pair of Targus Active Noise Cancellation Headphones for a tenner. Have had no probs with them yet.

Not exactly epic quality but nice none the less.

I've been in the last two weeks since it opened (will pay another visit today)

Definitely worth dropping over to.

Replied to your PM but it's in Gulliver's retail park for anyone else. Just beside Petmania.

Disagree. Save yourself the trip - seems like a lot of the Lidl special offers they couldnt shift, like a stick on hairdryer holder (everyone needs one of them, right?)

Guy on the checkout told me that all the offers are on Thursday, & they go quickly; other than that, nothing of interest tbh.

10 euro for a fireplace tool holder set and 10 euro for the black fireguard too.

Last month,these were 20 euro each in Lidl.

So basicly,I got them for half price in Bargin Base.

Bumping this instead of making a new thread.

On page 9 of todays Herald there is a full page advert for Bargain Base. It looks like Lidl stock.

On it are
300w handmixer -€10
Sports headphones -€2
Body Fat Analyser -€5
Electric Salt/Pepper Mill -€2
66 Litre Laundry Bag -€2
PC Laser mouse/Gaming mouse -€10
8GB pen drive -€5
LED under cabinet Lights -€5
29.5L electric cool box -€30
Foam guest mattress -€30

Haven't been up myself but heard it does be busy and a lot of queuing.
Open hours are Thursday-Saturday 11am-7pm and Sunday 11am-6pm. It says specials have a limited availability on the advert.

This is a lidl shop. Instead of having marquee sales they put all the unsold offers from their stores into a bargain base store. Probably not worth a long journey, but if you're going to ikea, its worth the 2min diversion.

Was there yesterday morning and got a video door monitor for €30 :eek: I bought one of these last year and it cost me €120 from Lidl :mad: They also had fantastic equestrian bargains - horse blankets and riding trousers for €2!

Not sure if this has been posted but this place has a 22inch LCD tv today for 80 euro I can't post the link it was in the local paper. Hope it's of some use to somebody.

joe stodge

Thats because its only open from Thursday to Sunday of each week.

It does say that on their bill board ads and also in the shop windows.

Is this place not open for quite a while now? Didn't think it was only the last 2 weeks, Lidl used to have their Marquee sale there every few months but as far as I knew this opened several months ago and has been trading every Wed-Sun since ... is it now a different store?

Same store, old thread

The post stating the above was made last August!

maxer68

Just in case anyone does not know at this stage. This IS a lidl owned store - They have them in many countries and the use it to clear out unsold weekly specials.

100% owned and operated by Lidl.

And afaik, it opens Wednesday to Sunday, hence it will be closed and in darkness on Mondays & Tuesdays.

Thats interesting, Is there a reason they dont have the Lidl brand name anywhere? Or is it a hush hush type thing It does be bonkers busy i wonder why its not open 7 days

If it said lidl, some people would want to buy food there too and they'd be all confused:D

I'd say no real reason at all - its just a seperate brand (they have a few in the UK too) and it operates just to sell off the "weekly offers" that are left over.

How many though lol

Bargain Base has NOTHING to do with Lidl.

Bargain Base are a completely seperate company,who purchase alot of ex stock/unsold stock from Lidl branches around the country,and they then sell it in their shop in Santry,at a further reduced price to what Lidl would have been selling it for.

I was talking to the manager of my local Lidl earlier today about this mattter,and both the manager and security guard told me how it all works.

StevieJ

I also wondered about the relationship between both companies, on checking the CRO they are both registered at the same address. While they may have no relationship, its seems odd that that both business (names) are registered at the same address.

A security guard????? - Ah come on, next we'll be believing taxi drivers and then even the daily muck.

Bargain Base is 100% owned & controlled by lidl. If you can prove otherwise, I'll give you 5k - actually make that 50k.

Sure bargin base was on the lidl website i think before xmas.

just to put the question of ownership to bed once and for all - here's an extract from the CRO registration of the name.

I went today to have a look and hopefully pick up a tv, but there was not a tv in sight?
Did anyone get lucky with the tv's?

TVs aren't on sale until sunday.

Did anyone manage to grab one of those security cameras today?

I dropped in today to have a browse as I was passing.

Not many there at 4.pm
Quite a lot of clothes in odd sizes .. seemed to be mainly small ladies and larger mens sizes. The general sporty tops that lidl occassionly sell. most were around €5

Bits and pieces of tools. I picked up a jigsaw for €20 which I thought was reasonable value. The 3 year warranty still applies but there is no exchange unless the item is faulty .Not sure what it originally sold for.

Was also looking at an induction hob for €19.99 didn't buy. These were all damaged packaging that had stickers on them repacked and quality checked
picked up a leaflet for next weeks offers:

Bargain Base has closed down at that site. Anyone know where bargain base has moved to?? Or if it has reopened anywhere else at all??

Bargain Base was only going to be open for 18 months.

Lidl Ireland had 10 million euro worth of overstock to clear so thats why Bargain Base was opened up.


Bargain Base was only there until the stock was cleared/sold off.:)


All the staff who used to work there now work in various Lidl branches around Dublin.

Bargain Base is now closed for good and in its place is Eco Kitchens

Every so often Lidl do a pop up warehouse clearance store in Liffey Valley Retail Park. It was open over the May bank holiday weekend. http://www.theretailpark.ie/2013/04/lidl-is-coming-to-the-retail-park/ will probably be open again in a couple of months.
