Bargain hunters!
« on: September 23, 2009, 08:29:06 AM »
Hi all,

After our last fly-in, and the discussion about my new glider bag, here is a thread about all those things we can buy cheap in Aldi, Lidl etc etc, that might be interresting for us...

I have an Aldi and Lidl 2 minutes from home, so if you see something interresting but you are too far from it, I can collect it for you to my local shop !

Lots of small, and sometimes not so small stuff out there !

On Sunday, in Aldi :

Digital Caliper : http://www.aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/2827_10562.htm
Soldering Iron set : http://www.aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/2827_10554.htm (have already one set from Aldi, the same, work great !)

If you see some good deals/bargains for us, let us know !  :D

If you go on to the Lidl website  www.lidl.ie you can sign up for their newsletter. They then send you a couple of emails a week giving you advance notice of the new specials coming in. You thn know about a week ahead whats coming in

If anyone interested in "white foam" :

Woodie's DIY (at Swords) have sheets 1200x600mm, choice from 6 to 50mm.

1200x600x50 = 5.77 euro

Just saw that too. The fishing bag could make a good Transmitter bag if anyone was short of one. The gloves look good as well, going to give them a lash.
