23% is a Very specific figure. Did Aldi find a VAT loophole somewhere?
Brilliant. Lidl will follow
Meanwhile, RTE continues to reduce editorial budgets. “Alid said that prices have been reduced on items including”
I eat all the stuff there cutting lol
It’d good and bad news. Apparently they squeeze farmers pretty tightly on the prices as it is. I’ll welcome a cheaper shopping bill but I wouldn’t like local producers to get stung with even lower rates for their products.
I doubt Aldi have decided to take a hit and reduce their profits.
People say the TV license fee is a waste!
How else would ALDI get a press release out?
If we paid some more money on the license fee RTÉ could hire some journalists to see:
* Which products are reducing in price and by how much. Shouldn’t be a secret.
* Figure out what is going on with this “typical trolley” which is reduced from €121 to €106 – a €15 euro decrease i.e. 12%.
Easier for RTÉ just to repackage the press release and go home.
Nice
I went to Tesco this week for the first time in ages and it was noticeably cheaper than Aldi.
All weekly shop stuff, and with the inclusion of school lunch stuff and protein foods/meats my take is they’re targeting/trying to attract families in for the back to school rush (great cash cows with repeat business)
I also think they’re trying to capitalise on the new year health buzz which from my experience every year translates into big revenue for retailers: Protein yoghurts in particular have become very popular in my department, and it will get people in the door to buy gym equipment etc. that they push this time of year.
Hopefully the headlines alone will push competition in the market and give customers better prices.
So they can cut prices by 23% and still make a profit……
I’m very picky as it is when I get stuff from shops, I’m checking what country it comes from and base my purchase off of that. I will purchase a 2 euro item over a 50 cent item depending on what it is, I usually avoid morocco, india etc.. nothing racist just based on videos I have seen in those countries with regard to health standards.
