I'm not trying to back seat mod, but perhaps we could keep the thread discussion to the actual offers?

Lol.. how much are IW paying you?

Anyhoo, what about cheap bananas in Lidl then?

Make sure you get your one upmanship in there.

One thing Lidl started on the 01/08 there was a new range of organic food. I prefer to buy organically, so I was shocked when I seen the price they have their olive oil on for. I spend either 6 or 7 quid on the tescos organic version. Lidl are doing it for 3.99 http://www.lidl.ie/en/7009.htm?action=showDetail&id=43224

I will be taking as much as they will let me out the door with at that price.

All this talk of greed is nonsense. If people are using the stuff they purchase then why shouldn't they buy whatever Lidl sell them? Baby wipes don't go out of date and if you have babys then their arse need to be cleaned. Why not buy as many as you can when they're cheap?

But hate to see it when local businesses use it to stock up, forever seeing people buying boxes of the likes of lettuce etc etc knowing they own restaurants but I suppose alls fair in love and war

I hadn't realised that businesses do that. But then again I'm not entirely surprised. Through my line of work I've seen the kind of gas bills restaurants get in. How some of them are still open is beyond me. A lot I've seen are either breaking even or deeply in s.hit.

Anyway, whatever of the rights and wrongs of it, I guess they are trying to stay afloat too.

It's 4 euro.

Plus Lidls just been fined a half million for fraudulent labelling of their oils a month ago and now they have an ORGANIC extra virgin out. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Plus as the crops have been bad this last few years the Italians have started painting the olives in a “only moderately toxic” coating of copper sulphate, a plant fungicide to make the sh1tty olives look nice.

And Olive Oil causes inflamattion in the heart/blood vessels/joints, it's fairly nasty stuff really - aswell just buy stork.

Olive oil is one of the most mislabeled things out there, people often don't know the difference in types as well.

Got the cod yesterday, at least it tasted like cod seeing as we're mentioning mislabeling!

I'm sorry, but at this point I give up! It really is a case of you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Recent WHO reports informed the masses that all cooking oils such as vegetable and sunflower oils and margarines were carcinogenic due to the treatment they get prior to being sold.

This is what I have been buying in Tesco http://m.tesco.ie/mt/www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=259045417

When I buy organically I always look for the Irish and British certification. I think I'll avoid Lidl organic stuff now

Stick to the actual offers folks, no more off topic posts please!

Pure Olive Oil is good for the old ticker.
You can get counter evidence easily of course.Those Pritikin crowd you linked to are big players in the US diet market,their diets are low fat so they aren't likely to endorse Olive Oil.
I'll take my advice from sources without a commercial interest.

They were pretty good actually. And even the non-gays and non-vegetarians liked them! Imagine my shock

Olive oil is fine, once you don't heat it. Olive oil isn't for cooking.

That's a total myth. Olive oil is superb for cooking and highly recommended by chefs and health experts.

The smoke point for olive oil is about 230 degrees centigrade, high temperature frying is at 180 degrees, domestic frying is lower.

No-one knows how the myth came about, but usually it would be a trash newspaper such as daily express with one of their cancer scare stories from sources they never mention.

I've been dying for Lidl to start doing veggie burgers, now they're on special the very week that I'm back to strict calorie counting. Typical! Damn you holiday weight!

I'm pretty sure they've doing veggie burgers for months now. They're frozen so pick some up, bung them in the freezer and enjoy them in a few weeks.
