Bought a paddle mixer in Aldi yesterday for 49 euro.Going to use it for mixing external wall adhesive.

If you wait about 1 month,then Lidl usually sell off alot of their trekking clothes and rain jackets with 30-50% off the rrp.You can pick up some good bargains this way.if you are quick to get in the door on the day they reduce the prices.
 
10 euro off a 50 euro shop in Aldi.

Vouchers are in this Sundays Indo newspaper.

Take that Tesco.
 
Voucher for Lidl in this Sundays Sunday World and Sunday Times newspapers.

10 euro off a 50 euro shop.

On a slightly off topic,3 euro for a Sunday newspaper with nothing but ads,repeated news events and silly leaflets in it is a bit much in this day and age.
 
Btw tesco accept other supermarkets coupons. They accepted a10 euro aldi coupon in the balbriggan branch!
 
Hi guyz , longue temps no see! For my money Aldi soda bread at 0.89 as well as their smoked Norwegian salmon @ 3.45 and low-fat cream cheese at under a yoyo. Brings out the posh in me, I feel all socialist & "Labour-like."
 
Well I am, ahem, an old hand at Aldi/Lidl shopping. Did it from day one, initially with a little trepidation (particularly with meat) but have done about 80% of my shopping there for years. There are a handful of items that I specifically know not to buy - but they are few and far between.

In general, my only genuine gripes: sweets not great - Sugarland brand (Lidl?) - it really isn't good. Tinned tomatoes - be careful, some have a bad metallic taste (both stores)

Mainly though, fruit and veg whilst OK quality, goes off REALLY quickly.
 


Fruit and veg going off quickly is a good sign.
 
65 cents for a Cornwell Bakery half slice pan of bread in Lidl.And quite yummy too,with my home grown lettuce and beetroot.
 
I buy Argan Oil shampoo in EuroGiant. Lidl had 150ml for about 2.99 and EuroGiant have 250ml for 2e. Same for conditioner. It's a good quality product. Also, in EuroGiant, I buy WhiteGlo toothpaste for 2e (with a toothbrush). It is 3.99 in the chemist (without a toothbrush).

Any recommendations on shampoo?

Stop using it.

Not being facetious - I gave up the shampoo habit nearly eight years ago and it's one of the best things I ever did. I just wash my hair with water and use a small amount of cider vinegar in water as conditioner 'cos the water here is very hard. When I was still living in Ireland I only did the vinegar rinse thing every few months.

To get back on topic, though, during the adjustment phase, when your hair can be a bit more greasy than normal, I found the best thing to use was oats. Just plain old porridge oats rubbed into the (dry) scalp and hair - they absorb the grease and leave a lovely smell. Just, you know, don't wet it or you'll end up with porridge in your hair. I bet Lidl and Aldi sell oats.
 
For any lovers of German beer, Lidl are selling 4 bottles of Franziskaner for €5. They are usually €1.99 a bottle.
 

Jaysus, I hope you don't ever stand close to a horse after you wash your hair!
