Of course, I can’t really prove that *I* exist either, but if I don’t, I’ve built a rather elaborate imaginary life for myself. Hmmm.

I’ll let someone else do Aldi treats - my life is complicated enough as it is!! Are you out there aldibob????

Perhaps your site name has biased my attitude, simply because my experience of Lidl leads me to have a certain, shall we say ‘opinion’ lol. However, if I were you, and forgive me for saying this in a comment section, I would strongly recommend an equivalent site for AldiTreats to back up your stance and show Irish consumers that food is not just about perception of brand and packaging. I shop at Aldi constantly and, having worked for German Discounters I agree 100% that they are by far, well cheaper than every other retailer out there. (Some of their brands are even well-known brands, simply repackaged at a cheaper cost) Although, I have heard, certain Farmers’ food markets, such as that in Liffey Valley Dublin, are also very cheap on fruit and veg etc.

On occasion though, both Aldi and Lidl’s Fruit and Veg suffers during the transport phase and I’v found it sometimes rots or goes off too quick for my liking. I would also never, ever buy minced meat, rashers, sausages or chicken by-products from either of them, as I also would not from Tescos either, because the difference in quality between most retailers’ shelves and the meat from family butchers, especially those with their own herds, is outstanding in taste and fat content. A few euros more from my local butcher is worth it. And if you fry an Aldi rasher next to say a Denny rasher, you’ll see the difference.

So in this case I’m contradicting myself as far as brand goes in some respects. But for all other things, YES, I totally rely on the discounters for keeping my full, yes, full trolley down to 80 euro each week for 2 people. When 50 quid in Tescos would be lucky to get me a meal for one night!

So well done again on the site, it looks great!

Thanks!

Actually I’m getting kinda sorry I called the site what I did, because it is a little confining in the longer term. I set it up on the spur of the moment after hearing another sniffy radio item about Lidl, and didn’t really expect more than a trickle of people to ever find it.

One of the other reasons I did it was to try out Wordpress and specifically to have a go at making a skin for it, which I’d never done before. So I’m really chuffed by “I must say, its a very polished site.” Thanks

However, people will do anything for a scam won’t they? I must say, its a very polished site. Nice photos. Nice ‘Price banners’ too… how very Retail eh? Because, let’s not forget, Retail is Detail, as they say

On the other hand, what if this is in fact ’sponsored’ by the Lidl Payroll and is a counter-active reaction to Aldi’s recent use of Irish Chefs in their leaflet advertising? The disclaimer below means nothing really, as the company’s solicitors could have easily scrutinized the legality of using such a disclaimer as you have done below and found many a loophole in using such a line. Lidl was all about disclaimers if I recall. Sometimes, they would even ‘exclaim’ when a tired worker wanted to leave before 7pm on a Friday, or could’nt change their holidays at a moment’s notice to suit ‘the company’, or had to stay late or work a weekend to satisfy the needs of some trumped up Juvenile ‘Manager’.

The funny thing is, your 50 euro would go a hell of a longer way in any other Lidl country as even ‘they’, the great protector of consumer quality and brand value, are over-pricing food for the Irish Market specifically.

Anyway, I digress. Best of luck with the challenge. Let’s hope Lidl don’t offer you a figure eh, no doubt that disclaimer would have to be rewritten
