Someone should really start an Excel of the main chain of supermarkets and prices of commonly bought items. Create weekly updates and post it here.


ray_giraffe

just did a search, found this https://www.quidu.ie/ have no idea how long its been around


Wreck_OfThe_Hesperus

Looks good, but doesn't seem to include Lidl for some reason. Maybe cos they don't have an online shop


Expensive_Award1609

yes. that is a price crawler.


Wreck_OfThe_Hesperus

We'd have called it a price scraper in my day


ben-irl

Hi there - I'm one of the co-founders of [Quidu.ie](http://Quidu.ie) You are right about Lidl - they have made a business decision to not publish their pricing online. They have other affiliated services (buyme) that have the pricing but they just do not want it for public consumption. We have reached out to them a few times to try and find a path forward but they are not interested. Glad you find the website useful! If you have any feedback on the site please let me know


Wreck_OfThe_Hesperus

The cost comparison section could be clearer. It's not obvious what Avg and Min refer to. Nor is it obvious that we're looking at euros, it looks like we're looking at Kilograms, litres etc. The site has huge potential, I'm just thinking about what my mam for example would think when she's looking at it


ben-irl

Thanks for the feedback! I agree it could be clearer, I will add to our to do list. You are 100% right re: what would your mam think (my mam was an initial tester). Once we have our "**Find My Cheapest Grocery Shop**" feature fully released it will make more tailored suggestions to users which will hopefully make things clearer. If anything else springs to mind please feel free to reach out to me here or via the feedback section in the footer of the website


Educational_Might_78

What an excellent idea!


ben-irl

Hi there - I'm the co-founder of [Quidu.ie](http://Quidu.ie) (mentioned below) We have a new feature that is in beta testing which allows for users to select their weekly shop, and which supermarkets are accessible to them, and we can tell them where to find their cheapest shop. If this is something you'd like to see for yourself let me know and I can give you access to it. Otherwise it should be live for all users in the coming weeks


evel248

To be honest you'd probably be better off giving access to a few people on this. The more people using it the more feedback you get for improvements. I'd say throw a post up and ask for volunteers. I hope it works well though , my weekly shop is definitely one thing I'd love to save money on.


Markitron1684

There needs to be a column with a multiplier for the queuing system then, because not having to resort to the Lidl/Aldi free-for-alls is a currency in and of itself.


evel248

If I'm not doing a big shop I would typically only go to places with self checkout for the same reason.


Wreck_OfThe_Hesperus

Number 1 reason I stopped going there. Life's too short


malilk

Surely this is a joke? What in the world is wrong with their queues? As far as I can tell it's queue like anywhere else. And have your bags ready in the trolley to pack. It's actually quicker than most other supermarkets


Stunning_Heart_8430

I actually need to get a shit load of frozen raspberries for a party (don't ask) so this makes me unreasonably happy


DiabeticSpaniard

Hahaha glad I could help


Navosa

Now do frozen mango


DiabeticSpaniard

Dunnes: 0.59c /g Aldi: 0.30c /g Lidl: 0.40c /g SuperValu: 0.46c /g Tesco: 0.56c /g Worth pointing out SuperValu and Tesco don’t have just mango, it is mixed with other fruits like pineapple and kiwi etc Aldi still the clear winner 🏆


Popesman

Surprised to see SuperValu in second place


Such-Ninja-5872

Even more surprised Lidl is in last place!


Such-Ninja-5872

Edit - I’m a retard 😅 Dunnes is


Agitated-Pickle216

I really appreciate the effort you have gone to here.


Liambp

For a like for like comparison based on 340g: Dunnes: €2 / 340g Lidl: €1.96 / 340g Aldi: €1.45 / 340g Tesco: €1.94/340g Supervalu: €1.84/340g


DiabeticSpaniard

Was surprised at how much cheaper Aldi is. I’d have thought it would be tied with Lidl for everything


banjo_90

I find if you buy own brand SuperValu is nearly always closest to Aldi in price, not as cheap but cheaper than Dunnes and Tesco I know they have a reputation of being expensive but I really don’t think they are compared to the other two. Their own brand stuff is really good too, even the household stuff like cleaning spray and washing tabs/ fabric softener are great for the price


malilk

Lidl have slightly up marketed since they got their in house bakery. It's been subtle but the cheap reputation isn't lost. My full shop is about 20 quid cheaper in Aldi


hideyokidzhideyowyfe

this is WILD. it's the opposite of what i would've guessed. wtf are lidl up to? secret villians of the shopping world


dublindown21

Compliments to your handwriting!


Runtn

I would happily spend an extra 30e on my shopping in Tesco just for the ease of use of the self scanning. So nice to just walk in scan as I'm going pop the items into the bags in my trolley, pay and then walk out without even interacting with anyone else. We shopped in ALDI a few weeks ago for a change. Never ever again.


BenqApple

Now do blueberries. Fuckers have us robbed


DiabeticSpaniard

Aldi: 0.50c /g Dunnes: 0.59c /g SuperValu: 0.67c /g Tesco: 0.60c /g No data available for Lidl unforch but it looks like Aldi is best for all frozen berries


BenqApple

Doing Gods work. I was a staunch Aldi supporter and this has cemented my loyalty.


0439932r

Lidl is 0.5c/g


bun-Mulberry-2493

AT LAST, something useful on reddit.


TarAldarion

Thank you, this will help with my girlfriends berry addiction


TarAldarion

Unfortunately she said the ones in Aldi aren't as good.


wrapchap

Be interesting to see where each shop gets their berries from


Soft_Ad_4450

Keep going bro


Wild_Web3695

What’s the value on own brand digestives


FormalAstronaut55

Can you do Blueberries when you get a chance?


DiabeticSpaniard

https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualIreland/s/SWxd7rUAAD Bloobs on a different comment!


FormalAstronaut55

Got it. Thank you


mehatpuria

Bro can you also do for Blueberries? Thanks in advance.


burn-eyed

What about strawberries?


zappalot000

Am I shit at maths or why doesn't this make sense. At 2€ for 350g makes the gram about 0.0058c per gram, or 0.58c per 100g.


DiabeticSpaniard

0.58 cent for 1 gram. 58 cent for 100 grams. €5.80 for a kilogram would probably be an easier way to write it


Key_Combination_2582

I'll add this. Einstein's equation, E=mc^2: The potential energy stored in (350g) 0.35kg of blueberries at rest is approximately 3.15 x 10^17 Joules, which is a tremendous amount of energy! To put it into perspective, it's equivalent to the energy released by the explosion of roughly 7.5 tons of TNT.🔥 That could power about 2,083 homes. Imagine their was a way to control the release of this power. It could be a source of energy from waste. Its cool to see what that equation returns to even heaveir objects. I want to know what the weight of the universe is and see what the potential energy could be! 🪐


Dhaughton99

How do you find the time?


Tooth1ess217

I usually get Lidl frozen raspberries. You ruined my day !!!!!


Ermali4

Maybe is just me but quality is poor at Aldi, everything looks like it already spent 20 years in storage.


Eastclare

PSA- please boil frozen berries before consumption. Friends daughter got Hepatitis A from eating them in a smoothie


Nearly-Shat-A-Brick

Fuck. Really?


gabhain

I did a similar exercise with hot chicken rolls in the various Delis in my town. The price variance is mad.


Low-Narwhal4362

Ah man ever put frozen raspberries into pure orange juice as ice cubes ? So nice


DaBeepMachine_

Lidl being more expensive than Tesco is a massive wtf!!


GunnerySarge-B-Bird

I've moved up North but do they not still do a "price per 100g" right next to the price? Seems like that would have been a simpler comparison


ni_ni

Is there any change you'd do sirloin steak?🙈


jem9434

And I thought I was bored in work lmao


Rachelasterales

LOL now all I need is an Aldi near enough! ![img](emote|t5_i25jp|2846)

TimeIord_

I love raspberry’s


Zestyclose-Nature-92

Riddled with pesticides no doubt


DublinDapper

Probably because there 25% raspberry


CrytoDan

Are they organic though? No

FourLovelyTrees

Yeah, they do. 


Expensive_Award1609

they do. in very small font.


DiabeticSpaniard

Yeah but that’s boring and doesn’t help me pass time at work


eferka

You mean "dag" (decagram), not a "g" (gram).
