Any idea when Lidl/Aldi have their running sale?

HavingCrack

Any idea when Lidl and Aldi have their annual ****load of running gear for sale? It's usually around this time of year so I'm hoping I haven't missed it.

huskerdu

You haven't missed it, but they only advertise stuff 2 weeks in advance, so keep your eye on the websites for the next while.

Lidl have opened up a store in Gullivers Retail park in Northwood, Santry (Close to the M50) trading under the name Bargain Base.
It's stocked with loads of crap they couldn't sell in the regular stores but depending on what you want there's a decent chance of you getting it there throughout the year. They limit opening to Thursday to Sundays though so avoid taking the journey Mon - Wed!

I live beside it so if you list what you are looking for I may be able to offer feedback if they stock those particular items.

Was up there last week and got a load of stuff for next to nothing...pairs of running tights for a fiver each, long sleeve tops for a fiver and running jackets for a tenner. All good quality. Well worth a visit.

Ah good news. I don't have anything in particular that I want, more just running low on the basics eg. tights, compression t shirts, running jackets etc.

Aldi have the same running stuff on Thursday 13th.

Either a big coincidence , or a typo in above post.

Nothing on either lidl or aldi website - but was reading the leaflet last night for 13th October (Came with the RTÉ guide) - don't have it to hand but will double check tonight whether it was LIDL or ALDI - thought it was lidl but it is possible that I'm wrong!!

The leaflet that came with the RTE Gudie is for Aldi,
Their 13th Oct specials are not on their website yet.

Dilemma - will it be Aldi or Lidl I queue overnight to get all the bargains???:D

hatful

Is there any point turning up after work, does the gear generally sell out fast. I live miles away for Aldi.

It does in some shops. I got involved in a serious scrum in Aldi in Rathfarnham one morning last winter over the last of the tights.

Anyone ever got the ladies tights from either Aldi or Lidl? Just wondering what the quality & sizing is like.

I have a pair from Aldi, which I got 2 years ago and despite constant use and abuse, are still in good nick.

I looked at them last night and there is no indication of the size, so I cant comment on the sizing. I think the sizes are fairly true.

I have a pair of running trousers ( not tights) from Lidl last year. They are good quality, but I hate wearing them running, prefer tights.


According to the website, the Ladies ones in Lidl only come in M-XL.

Thanks for that ! Won't be able to get to either store until after 10am tomorrow, hopefully there's some left!

They've lasted two years for that price - pretty good. I'm always pleasantly surprised at the quality of their stuff - got some cycling gear that is better than expensive stuff I've bought!

Bought a pair in Lidl this morning. They look like nice quality.
I haven't tried them on, but the small looks to be the right size.

Got some hats and gloves this morning - there was a bit of a bun fight in Wicklow as some classy females fought over some boots :eek:

Wasn't able to make it to Lidl today . But I got some decent long sleeved tops in Aldi which I'm happy with .
The compression gear looks very small (always kinda does I suppose!), I'd advise a size up if anyone is unsure.

Cabaal

Got everything I wanted today in Lidl Kilkenny, lots of stuff still available.
Tired on everything but the running tights, all fit perfectly which is great

DriverMad

Went to a lidl store... Only Socks left, gloves and hats.. All the other stuff was gone.

Is it that good value?

On another note where would you get good quality shorts?

Thanks.

JosDel

I just wanted 2 pair of leggings for the winter, Got them in Lidl on James St, 10.99 great value...

Update on the sizing of the tights.

The 10/12 are definitely a 10, not a 12, especially in the legs, they are fairly tight.

They have a nice fleecy lining inside and a shiny surface on the outside which might be a bit waterproof like they claim.

Wore them cycling at lunchtime. Baked in them, they are too warm for this weather.

BobMac104

Grabbed a pair of leggings and a technical t shirt. seem like good enough quality and worth a punt at the price at ~ 18 euro for the two.

cloneslad

Thought I'd go have a look at some of the stuff and perhaps buy a pair of gloves anyway.

Bought
2 running tops
1 long sleeve sompression top
1 short sleeve compression top
1 sleeveless compression top
2 pairs of gloves
3 pairs of socks

I already have too much running gear as it is, but I'm an idiot so I had to buy more, I honestly have no idea where I'm going to put it all as I am currently have all my running stuff thrown into a big bag while I'm staying in my dad's before leaving this fine shore again.


For your information - Cavan's ALDI and LIDL had loads of gear left at half one / two o clock.

hatful

Did the packets of running tights say 'running trousers' on them. Either I missed them or was confused

Tom Joad

Went a bit mad and got

4 pair of socks
3 compression tops
Gloves
Hat
3 Running tops
2 Running trousers

and that was just in Lidl

Got more stuff in ALDI

:eek:

The running trousers in Lidl were running trousers but the ones in Aldi are running tights.

Damn. oh well. I take it leggings are 'tight' trousers and tights are thermal?

JohnnyCrash

Certainly in the ladies sizes, Lidl had running tights and trousers. The tights were still packaged as trousers.

They seemed to only have the trousers in the Lidl I went to for men and I was one of the first in through the doors - but It did appear that they had more ladies gear than mens in the Lidl I went to. Not sure if this was the case in other stores.

Cutex

My husband went to aldi last night for winter running jacket, they had none left but he asked if they had any out back and they said they had another 2 containers full. So ask in your local aldi what's out back

I took a cycle to my nearest Lidl before work yesterday as they conveniently open at 8am (unlike Aldi) and got there around 8.15, was impressed to a see a few people already picking through the running gear!

Got what I was after anyway so all's well

BananaR

Pretty much nothing left in Aldi Parnell St or Lidl Moore st by 17.30 yesterday.
Few oddments of mens gear and almost no ladies gear at all... disappointed but then I prob don't really need more gear! Did get a headband to keep my ears warm. Really needed a pair of gloves though :-((
Better luck next time...maybe I should take a day off work!!!

RacoonQueen

Very little left in Aldi and Lidl in Rathmines at about 12:30 today. Few long sleeved tops in Aldi - all sizes for women, didn't notice the mens.

paulocon

Anyone get hold of an Ultra-light Running jacker. Just wondering how light they are?

Like a black bag type weight. They were just big bright yellow plastic-ish jackets, kind of like tose you used to get years ago that you could roll up into themselves.


The heavier running jackets seemed to be of a decent material,I thought they looked really heavy, but they actually weren't. I tried on one of the medium ones and it was much to big for me. I would rarely wear a jacket when running so I didn't look for a size small.

Guess it depends on where you live, I was up in Navan for the weekend and the Lidl there still had loads of hats, gloves, tops and trousers in both mens and womens on Sunday.

paulocon wrote:

Very light indeed, almost see through, more of a wind breaker than a jacket.

Sprocket77

The sizes of the Lidl running tops are a bit hit and miss. I bought two mens large tops, one fits perfectly, the other fits the body, but the sleeves only just go beyond the elbows.

Buck

Went for a run last night in my new Aldi running jacket, found it very comfortable and surprisingly light. Was well impressed.

Bambaata

Picked up about 5 pairs of running socks, 4 pairs of cycling socks, 4 beanies, 1 thermal top, 1 thermal cycling tights and 15 pairs of suit socks :P

It's not really a sale just that their special offers last week was Winter running gear, there might still be some bits & pieces left but not too much I'd guess at this stage.

mr.wiggle

There is still running gear in Aldi , Mallow.
Really recommend the base layer tops.
