Lidl NI Ripoff

waltsalt

I have a discussion here about Lidl NI and their pricing differences between here and their stores on the mainland.

It seems they are pricing us against the prices they set at their stores in the south rather than against the prices in the rest of the UK. Which means we get rather shafted compared to our brethren across the water and our brethren across the border thanks to the poor exchange rate.

Are they not affiliated with / owned by the irish LIDL rather than the UK mainland one?

I think thats the problem - they're not a standalone entity and / or linked to the UK mainland company.

This is not unique to Lidl, Tesco are the same, I live in London and travel frequently to Belfast, I'm astonished how much you pay for some things over there.
