    So got myself a box of 20 x carlsberg and 20 x budweiser in Aldi for €19.98 for both of them as well as the rest of the groceries :D

    Also, Lidl sell newspapers and have the Sunday World with the coupons in it too, to save you from 1 extra journey on the Sundays :P

    Yeah... f#cking bull that the Lidl mag was missing. There's a certain local branded store here in Limerick city where the owner was not having it at all and f#cked them all out. Once seen the same guy breaking up Easter egg chocolate into the pick and mix. From €6 a kilo to €20 a kilo in just a quick crumble.

    He is doing good business to be fair, but he's ruthless.

    Bought Sunday World today, so I have Aldi voucher in left hand and Lidl voucher in right hand, so which discounter is the cheapest, Aldi or Lidl?, for general groceries

    Aldi for general groceries and Lidl for more upmarket fare.

    When buying, if the vouchers are missing from the newspapers I suggest you speak to the person in charge and tell them that you were about to purchase but won't now and you'll go elsewhere. I'd also report the shop to Aldi/Lidl.

    Funny "report the shop to Aldi and Lidl" What will they do exactly?

    I find it quite hard to spend €50 in Aldi

    Really? What upmarket fare is good in LIDL in your opinion (I rarely get a chance to shop there)?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 69,931 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Deluxe range, akrets seasonally. Seafood, game, sauces, deserts etc.

    I take it that the "voucher" there is going to be a gift card rather than a tenner off a further €50 shop. Still handy enough. They definitely want to know where vouchers are going missing as they're paying for the distribution!


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 32,285 Mod ✭✭✭✭The_Conductor


    I didn't get any voucher for Lidl either- and got the same e-mail- but we have a communal waste system here- so there is no point in my dumpster diving to try and retrieve the paper- as god only knows how many people have put rubbish on top of mine....... So- no Lidl voucher for me, I guess.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,700 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Fair play to Lidl for sorting customers out with vouchers, good to see

    If you want PM me your address and I'll send my Sunday World frontpage to Lidls freepost address on your behalf tomorrow. It killed me to buy that rag of a paper so I might as well make some use out of it !

    If you can show you purchased the paper in question (and have kept it to do so)- and can also show a till receipt for >50 Euro between the dates in question....... Lots of us were using the Lidl vouchers for Tesco......... (and indeed- the vouchers were all robbed from the two papers in Tesco by shoppers- to the extent that the local Tesco in Lucan- had a security guard at the paper rack- as people were tearing out the Aldi vouchers along with taking the lidl ones- which of course removed the Indo's barcode and made it unsaleable........

    This is to say nothing of the Supervalu's around the country- which mysteriously don't have the Lidl vouchers.........

    Haven't yet tried most of the Deluxe range from Lidl as our weekly shop is generally Aldi but recently Lidl have added ostrich and kangaroo steaks which are now on my radar. They also do an Amaretto flavoured sugar which is really nice in coffee

    They have some really nice deserts too- pannacotta, tiramisu, Strawberry shortbread custard tarts etc- and then their ready meals are probably the highest quality ones you can get out there- with some things like their cabbage and mashed potato- really really good. The deserts are all in the frozen food section- they're to die for........

    Just posted that to Lidl a few minutes ago, not sure if I made the last post but its on the way in any case, enjoy;)

    That was a very nice gesture. Shame on those people that are robbing the vouchers or the retailers removing them before putting them on sale. Thought we were changing as a nation...but the greed gene seems to dominate many peoples thinking.

    The same people will probably now try it on with lidl for more 'free' money off.

    They wont be able to cause they were too cheap to buy the paper.

    I'd hope people wouldnt abuse it. Lidl and Aldi give great value most of the year, even without money off vouchers. They've given the Irish Grocery market a damn good shaking at a time we all badly needed it.

    Hi there. Just wondering if anyone has a spare Lidl or Aldi voucher did not get to shops on Sunday to pick up the paper. I will of course send a sae to cover the postage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭Missymoohaa


    Please correct me if I'm wrong. I have a €6 of €40 tesco voucher and a €10 off Aldi so if I spend €50 in tesco I'll get a total of €16 off my shopping??

    If accepted yes. I've just paid 32 for a 50.00 shop (it was actually 50 spot on) using this method

    I failed to have it accepted at the weekend- the cashier insisted on ringing up additional shopping to bring it back to 50 Euro, before she'd take the second voucher off it........ I wasn't the happiest........

    Tesco must be really desperate. No wonder their stock price has dropped to its lowest in 15 years. So much for "Treasure Ireland".

    Chanced my arm with the 2 €10 off vouchers for Aldi+Lidl that were in the Sunday Independent. The lady said she could only accept one per €50 spend.
    Just out of curiosity, how would you fair better at a self checkout? I assume there is nothing on the vouchers that you could scan in on an unmanned tesco till.

    In fairness, do you expect that if you had 5 vouchers you could get a €50 spend for free?

    No I don't. That logic exaggerates the situation beyond reason.
    Hence the chancing my arm comment.

    I asked L1011 because, by the sounds of it, he/she may have gotten some joy using two, as other posters have already stated that in some incidents they had discount offers combined.

    Its basically one Tesco and one competitor per transaction. At the self checkout you get them to do the competitor coupon then do the tesco yourself

    Or if you hand over 10 vouchers they give you 50€ with your free shopping :P

    Apologies for the delay in replying, I've only just now seen your post.

    The reason I suggested "report the shop to Aldi or Lidl" was to give them the opportunity to address the matter, which they generously did as is evident in several posts subsequent to your post #559.
    In this forum we all try to be courteous and helpful to each other. It would be appreciated if you'd do likewise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,245 ✭✭✭myshirt


    Has anyone taken the liberty of using the vouchers to fund some ostrich steaks? They look tasty. Contemplating it.

    I think that is the correct way though - only one voucher per transaction.


  • Moderators, Regional South Moderators Posts: 5,865 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quackster


    Bought €50 of groceries and a €50 Argos gift voucher today in my local Tesco. Handed over just an Aldi €10 off €50 voucher as didn't want to chance my luck but the lady on the checkout insisted she'd take a second one if I had another! Luckily I also had a Lidl one on me - happy days!! :)

    I want to buy a kindle paperwhite in Argos. It's €139.

    So, if I get three €10 Aldi/Lidl vouchers am I right in saying I can buy three €50 Argos vouchers in Tesco and save myself €30?!
