Lidl

It’s only when you shop in Tesco or Dunnes and then in Lidl or Aldi that you realise the value here. The have a great range of products at much lower prices than the main chains. I buy all my veg and meat here along with frozen berries for smoothies. They are always busy but the queues move really quickly. I would highly recommend you try them out and see how much you save for everyday items.

This shop is not as big as the other branches but still has all the stuff you need to survive in Dublin. Bakery section: check!
Place is usually well kept and in order. Staff is friendly. From the street it took me some time to find it the first time because there is no mega signs that reach the street.
Here there are fewer tills than other branches but staff keep up with their efficiency. It is a great idea to put Lidl on Thomas St

a very central store that is easy to navigate, has lots of special offers and helpful staff. one big dislike of all of these stores is the fact that they dont have baskets, only big, deep family size shopping trollies.

Who doesn’t love Lidl? For years we Irish claimed not to go here but since the recession hit it’s more than socially acceptable to do your entire annual shop here. And rightly so. They are pretty cheap.
Cheapness aside though, you must be prepared for the mess and confusion that is usually in a Lidl store. And this one on Thomas Street is particularly untidy in my opinion. That said, there are so many bargains along with a delicious range of cold meats and salamis that you’d be loathe to complain.
I popped in here one lunchtime when I was working nearby and I spent so long browsing that the next thing I knew it was time to go back to the office and I’d nothing bought. I hurriedly made my way to the door, vowing in my head to come back the next day for a proper shop — but I couldn’t get out! There’s some sort of system that you go in the front door, get your stuff, pay at the tills and head out the other door. But if you don’t buy anything and so don’t go through the tills, you can’t get back out the door you came in! I managed to flee in the end, but with some difficulty.

I love Lidl. I really do. I love all its continental delights, I love the cheapness of it all and I love the vigorous elbow bashing and shoving that goes on when they’ve REALLY got some bargains. I remember the first time I went in here as a preteen. My jaw hit the floor. The were selling all kinds of Germanic treats at low low prices.
I’ve bought an awful lot of stuff from Lidl and truth be told, varying in quality. It has a bad repp for manufacturing shoddy goods, but it’s the same as anywhere, some good, some bad.
The only other major gripe is he customer service You will queue like you’ve never queued before. But it really is the only place to go when shopping on a budget. Or Aldi. I retract that only place to go statement.

Lidl isn’t like a normal grocery store, and it does take a bit of getting used to, but once you get on board I doubt you’ll ever get off the Lidl-​love train. It is the cheapest place to shop in Dublin, hands down. In a city where a pint can cost you 6 quid, being able to buy an armload of groceries for the same price is a welcome relief. They have a wide variety of products that are priced well below major grocery stores.
One thing about Lidl is that whenever you go searching for a specific item, the store has a magical way of not carrying it. For example, I needed vegetable bouillon, but it was nowhere to be found. This all reinforced my belief that Lidl is best for buying your basics — eggs, cheese, milk, bread, pasta, rice, meat, vegetables, beer, wine etc. Once you’ve got all those, you can go through the store and accessorize your purchases. I bought a bottle of tikka masala sauce just cuz. At 99c, it was worth a try. Impulse buying has never felt so economical!
There are a number of reasons to hate Lidl — the customers who shop there are so rude it’s almost a joke, the lines are really long and they might not have just what you need but with prices so amazingly low, the pros far outweigh the cons.

i’ve shopped in lidl once and was suprised to find some of the brands that i would buy in my regular supermarket.
their food is reasonable enough and the one thing that impressed me most was the fresh flowers… they are so inexpensive in lidl.

Good old Lidl. This particular branch was doing a roaring trade ever before the recession. Location, location, location — there’s armies of students, immigrants and assorted poor people living within a stones throw of lovely Thomas Street. The queues for the checkout are long at any time of the day or night, and the staff are out and out rude, but this place lets you eat like a queen for 20 quid a week. Emerging through the automatic doors, laden with bulging bags of dodgy tinned meat (catfood?), you can then pop into the 2 Euro shop next door for even more recession busting bargains. Eddie Hobbes, eat your heart out.

Lidl es una cadena de supermercados que se puede encontrar por todo Europa. Concretamente en la ciudad de Dublín hay varios por lo que no es difícil encontrar uno cerca de casa.
Después de comprar en varios supermercados de la ciudad puedo afirmar que este es uno de los más baratos (sino el más barato). Tienen ofertas todas las semanas (se pueden ver en su página:
) y, a parte de cosas de alimentación, también venden cosas para la casa. Ojo, que a diferencia de la mayoría de los de España, en los supermercados de Dublín te cobran las bolsas de plástico, por lo que lo mejor es llevar tus propias bolsas.
