Lidl

It was crowded, but everything was cheap and of good quality. I’d happily go through the chaos here for cheap, good stuff.

As you probably know already, Lidl doesn’t carry too many big brands like Tesco or other supermarkets, so I’d highly recommend this place for buying things where you’re less likely to focus on the brand that’s behind it – think vegetables, meat, bread, cleaning liquids, and other ingredients for cooking.
If you like pastries, these guys have an aisle dedicated to just that and it all smells great! Just make sure you go earlier during the day if you’d like them fresh.
I’m taking away one star because the queues for billing can be massive at times. Most things here are cheaper than Tesco, so if you’re on a budget you know where to go.

Great place if you are looking for a cheap place to get all your basics. Every now and then they might even have offers that are interesting for you (e.g. The ladder you always needed or the Hunting Bow you wanted to give your GF!).
The instore bakery is really cool and if you get it in the morning it might even still be warm (win!).

Don’t go here, unless you certainly need to. My advise is to go to Aldi, just pass Ilac on Parnell street. Much less shoppers and selection is very similar.
Biggest issue for this Lidl is too many people are in there. Going through the isle is not that bad at all, but once you go to the tills, you will have to take out the book for reading :-)
Maybe I’m a little bit egzadurating, but not lying.
What I like here, is that you can get two different types of trolleys and big baskets on wheels inside. No more boxes to be carried around :-)

This is a fairly decent store to shop for home food items. But its also a great place to get great off the wall stuff from time to time. Today i purchased two excellent quality cycling jerseys for a wopping 10.99 euros each. In dollars that come close to approx $ 15.00 us dollars. and trust me they are great quality. I make it a point every year im here to pop in here and grab a few jerseys. Quality great, customer service bland, lol…

Finally came here early enough in the morning to get their fresh pastrys and they are delicious! I would have paid more than .68 for them!

wow the duchess of Lidl…
sounds like a p*ss-take… :)
I like Lidl — I like their choice of fruit & veg; the option of organic or not.
They now do fresh breads and pastries in their branch on Moore St/​Parnell St, with the option of toasting/​warming up your breads etc instore if you want.
They do deals every week on meats etc, so you can pick up turkey fillets, steaks, etc on offer every now and then.
They also do great deals weekly on wines, so just have an idea of what you’re looking for, and you’ll bag a bargain.
They also stock a wide range of cheeses, which is convenient, and again — from your basic Easy Singles types right up to your more upmarket blue cheese, mature cheeses etc.
I love the frozen salmon darnes that they do — make it into my shopping basket without fail every week.
But the prices overall, whatever about the layout of the store, is what keeps me coming back week after week.

I generally love Lidl… the one in Finglas is nice, as is the one on the Malahide Road. Love random things like their cottage cheese and diet jams as well as their chocolate (spot the contradictory items).
This branch is rotten though. It just feels grim-​grubby, packed, long queues, grumpy staff and lots of dodgy looking shoppers. I kept a tight hold of my bag! Kept remembering reading before that a particular Safeway grocery store in Washington had been named «Soviet Safeway» because of the harsh décor and small selection. It was my local store when I stayed there and this Lidl is like its poor cousin!

No customer service to be taken into account here! They just don’t care and neither do the customers as the food and everything else is so bloody cheap!
The atmosphere is barren and it really is a get in get out job, no joy to be had walking around the aisles here but the joy is to be found when you get to the check out and hand over very little money for all your messages!

Lidl is bringing things back to basics and blowing Tesco etc out of the water in the process. It’s a cheap, no frills supermarket. The feeling is more of a cash ‘n’ carry than a supermarket and what Lidl saves on presentation, goes straight into your pocket.
You won’t get your usual brands at Lidl and you may find some speciality food is absent, but in general the stock is totally adequate and the prices are much lower than competitors. There’s massive scope to buy in bulk at Lidl (cash n carry tendencies) and while the packaging may appear a bit strange, the quality is decent. They do stock some Irish goods but perhaps more would be nice, especially in these times.
Lidl also often offers bizarre special offers such as all-​in-​one jogging suits, Dictaphones or massive watering cans. Keep an eye out!

Lidl still has the cheapest groceries in Dublin. Food costs less when it’s not in fancy packages or even displayed neatly on shelves. Instead Lidl presents its merchandise in big crates and boxes and most of the labels aren’t even in English. Lidl feels like a warehouse. It’s fun walking down the aisles and picking up miscellaneous items and guessing either what they are or what’s in them.
There are some great things about this shop on Moore Street. You can buy a lot of international cheeses: feta, mozzarella, Gouda and Emmental. They also sell great German juices and sell cheap booze.
I try to come here when I’m throwing parties. I get my nibbles (often cranberry cheese and cream crackers) and my Malibu and my Tuborg.

Lidl is kind of amazing. Claiming to be, and probably rightly so, Ireland’s cheapest place for grocery shopping, don’t expect gourmet anything here. Food is still in boxes, imported from God knows where (all’s I know is that I don’t understand a lot of the languages!!), and ridiculously cheap. It’s a little treasure trove of goodies, because with everything so cheap, you end up buying loads of stuff that you don’t really need, purely on that basis, so unpacking your bag (s) after a trip here can throw up some surprises! They also have some of the most random household-​ish things on sale, which are either exactly what you’ve been looking for for eternity, or possibly the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever seen. Either way, if you’re in the market for a grocery store, and the words free range, Irish or organic aren’t at the top of your list, then Lidl is your first port of call… this one, although no different really from any other store, has the added bonus of location, meaning that you can pop outside to get your fruit and veg on Moore St to add a bit of local flavour!

There’s an Aldi about 4 minutes away on Parnell Street but the punters are voting with their feet for Moore Street Lidl. It has a wider selection of food and, as the slogan goes, ‘Lidl is cheaper’. Do as the regulars do and carry a cardboard box around rather than using a trolley (dunno why).
You might want to support the local economy a bit though by buying you’re fruit and veg from the Moore Street traders outside — it’s just as cheap and the quality is similarly mediocre.
