Eater Sundae Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I know that both Lidl & Aldi repeat their offers. Does anyone know whether it is possible to look further ahead than the next week or so (as their fliers or online) to see when something is due back in. I'm interested in one of their electric cool boxes (the peltier type), but wasn't sure if I've missed them for this year. I guess they are seasonal, to suit the holiday season, but wondered if their might be another offering before the end of summer. Anybody know?
geared Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Not usually no. However I've often found if you spend enough time looking around online you can find a similar product (or identical one) for sale from another retailer for the same price. They use the word 'offer' like you're getting a good deal, but really it's no better than another place. They just gather all the stuff together and put it out in the shop at once to make it more convenient.
Mecky Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Sometimes you can pick up those promotional flyers in store and they'll say as from such and such a date. As far as I'm aware specific special offers are only for one store or area - Anyone have clarification please? BTW Aldi Bratwurst are the best and are maybe the actual ones, or a good as, the ones you can buy from street stalls in Germany.
paranoya Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 get the aldi app it tells you of all upcoming special offers

Their food is often well sourced as they try and keep prices down. Some of the other stuff like tools are just bought in from other companies and re-badged.

kevvy Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 The one at Handsworth had some at the weekend also.
skat man Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Aldi, poundland and lidl get hold of left over stock from big name retailers. They also get hold of a limited number of products that are a one off batch. They also have their constant supply of their own goods. Everything from high end laptops etc are almost a one off deal. They bulk buy excess stock from retailers and offer at great reduced price. The same products are continually changing depending on what they can get hold of. Stores we all know and love sell overstock items to lidl, poundland and aldi. Repeat products are normally a no go. They get hold of what is available at that time.
