Mostly from Lidl (it's closer than Aldi)
Wine (try them all and pick your favourites). I once paid €18 for a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in a restaurant and found it fine and drinkable, found it in Lidl for about €4.50.
Ice creams and sorbets - get used to the european style and creaminess and you'll never go back.
Cheese - remarkably cheap mozzarella (69c), brie, cottage cheese
Param, serrano, prosciutto - all far cheaper than anywhere else and very edible, aswell as the regular dulano deli style cooked ham. Lovely stuff.
Big tubs of natural low fat yoghurt.
Nappies (have saved so much over the last year) and wipes.
Cleaning products, even down to the scouring sponges.
Any chocolate, schogetten, mr.choc, etc.
Love the cherry 'jaffa' cakes and the shortbread is lovely.
Never get over the change I get when I think I've bought so much.
My bro and his wife got the hiking boots earlier this year, took them to New Zealand, wore them every day, glaciers, hills, wherever and say they were the best buy ever. €15 and €10. They had been looking at ones for nearly €100 each.
Husband has bought a few power tools for ridiculous prices in both Aldi and Lidl and swears by them. The only one that broke down after a few uses was refunded no questions asked. Great returns policy.
Really hate the attitude of 'I wouldn't shop there'. Irish people are really so hung up about brand names.
