That’s interesting? Are they the Spring range or the previous range that’s been discounted?
According to the Aldi Fat quarters group on Facebook they’re selling for £4.95 in the U.K. so your £3.99 seems quite the bargain. Also, in many areas they seem to have sold out already but there were plenty of FQ’s available in my local store.
@Lowena, I totally understand your sentiment for buying and supporting your local traders.
However, in stark contrast to most towns in the U.K., the majority of shops in my town are small independent stores selling a wider variety of interesting items. All the coffee shops/cafes are independent and we don’t have any Tesco, Boots, Costa, Superdrug, M&S, NewLook etc. Obviously, you still get some of these shops in the cities and bigger towns. We also have a thriving local market scene on Saturdays in our town with small scale producers selling fresh (mostly organic) produce.
Therefore, I don’t think the odd Aldi or Lidl is going to usurp the local traders plus they support Irish farmers for the fresh meat and veg supplies.
