Aldi's first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork. By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices. As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi's popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious. The supermarket giant continued it's expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores. By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country. The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers. In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland. The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products. Aldi chiefs said: 'At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand. 'To date, we've invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers. 'As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.' Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.

Aldi brings back ‘brilliant' garden middle-aisle bargain that's selling for just £10
Scroll down to find out how to save money on your next Aldi shop Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALDI is bringing back a "brilliant" garden middle-aisle bargain for just £10 that's a major hit with shoppers. The Belavi Easter Island Head Planter will launch in stores on Sunday (June 8), adding to the retailer's selection of quirky buys. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Aldi is bringing back its Easter Island Head Planter on June 8 Credit: Aldi 2 The planter makes for the perfect addition to your garden Credit: Aldi The planter, measuring 21x23x31cm, makes for the perfect addition to anyone's patio. Aldi shoppers will no doubt be buzzing to hear the Specialbuy is back on shelves in a matter of days too. The retailer was selling the planter last year, with shoppers heaping praise on it online. One said on Facebook: "Got two, they are brilliant." Another said: "One fell into my shopping basket." Meanwhile, a third commented: "Where can I buy him please. He's lovely." Of course, as the planter is a Specialbuy, that means once any stock is sold out, there won't be any more available. The planter won't be available to buy online either as Aldi doesn't offer a home delivery service. You can find your nearest Aldi branch by using the retailer's store locator tool, found via Remember as well, to always shop around when buying something like this to ensure you're getting the best possible price. ALDI BARGAIN BUYS You can compare prices on retailers' products through websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner. The Google Shopping/Product tab is a quick way to see how much a particular item is selling for across different shops online as well. On this occasion, it's hard to make a direct comparison as Aldi is the only retailer we found selling this particular planter. However, other, similar planters on the market come out more expensive than Aldi's £10 model. Matalan is selling one for £16 while Amazon has an Easter Island-themed planter for £29 - and that's before factoring in delivery charges. If you want to find out what Aldi Specialbuys are in stores at any time, you can visit: One Aldi is selling at the minute is a Ferrex 20V high pressure washer for £30 - and it's £100 cheaper than some big name brands. SAVE MONEY AT ALDI Keeping your eyes peeled for cheap Specialbuys is just one way to save money at Aldi. The supermarket often comes out cheapest for a smaller trolley of items in Which? surveys as well, including in April. The consumer website recently found a shopping list of 79 items would have cost you £135.95 on average across the month. Rival Lidl was close behind, with the same shop costing £136.64, if you had a Lidl Plus card. It's worth keeping an eye out for any red sticker products too, which are added to items going out of date or that are slightly damaged. Aldi tends to add them to items in the morning so it's best to get to your local branch early if you want to get the best discounts. Take advantage of Aldi's cheap alcohol which could save you some cash compared to going with branded versions. Look out for Too Good to Go "Surprise Bags" as well. They cost just £3.30 and come with £10 worth of food approaching its sell-by or use-by date inside. You have to reserve a bag via the Too Good to Go app and then can collect it from your nearest store. How to save money on your food shop Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year: Odd boxes - plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price. Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30. Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash. Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public. Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio. Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount. Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses. Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap. But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here. Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds. "Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands. The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.
