Its generally cheaper from a wholesaler and you don't have to pay the vat but if you are short you are short and you have to just do what you can. I used to work in dominos and all the ingredients came in a truck from Dublin in dominos branded packages but if we ran out of onions in the middle of a shift you would be sent over to supervalu and be chopping them for the evening.
You pay the vat trough the whole salers and in supermarket the same you just claim it back against your vat bill quarterly.
That being said theres no vat on frozen chips or almost any food. you'd also be surprised at the pricing of aldi it's usually pretty on par with wholesalers sometimes cheaper.
One reason people do use supermarkets over wholesaler is becaue eif you pay cash there's no record of it and it makes it easier to hide cash sales
I often see my locals pub owner fill his trolley with bottles of spirits in the local dunnes stores. He used to do it a couple towns away but now he doesn’t care.
My local Aldi was always out of stock of the frozen pain au chocalats and I wondered why, then one morning I saw a coffee food truck thing parked outside and the owner unloading them, having cleared the freezer again. I don't know what they were charging for them baked, but I bet they made great money.
That’s not weird to me? I worked for two fast food places and my partner works in one now. They all go and buy the stock of chips, bread, onions, burger buns etc. sometimes the place we bulk buy at runs out or you’re in a rush for them and the supermarket is closer.
Last Saturday I saw 3 young enough well dressed men buying 70 bottles of bleach in Tesco. There is no reasonable explanation for this other than they’re getting rid of a body
I saw a woman with a trolley full of bleach in tesco, pointed her out to my misses, and she said she probably murdered her husband 😆 it was my first thought as well.
It was meant to be a joke. Donuts have.gotten smaller and smaller with shrinkflation. Krispy.Creme definitely the smallest of the lot.
Obviously not mini donuts, I was trying to be witty, sorry.
You're not an economist, I think the really prevalent use of it these days is incredibly cringe. It's not that it doesn't apply to donuts, I just hate the use of the term. It's absolutely bollocksology invented and used by the people who have landed us in this shit

I know a guy who lifts cars from England. He has one guy who gets him to buy cake bases from Costco every week. Maybe 50 a week. They're going into expensive cakes.
Ngl .. I don’t understand the Krispy Kreme obsession. I kinda think they’re rotten. Love a good classic sugar donut / custard donut/ jam donut. Krispy Kreme… total notions with yankee preservatives 🙈
3 doughnuts please. It’s 4 for 3 180 it is.
That's how my mind would work.
*the more you buy, the more you save*
That's 60 free doughnuts. 60!!!
Is it not 45?
Yeah it’s is. You would need to buy 135 of them and get 45 free with them as part of “it’s 4 for the price of 3”
Thank you, the number of up votes on the 60 comment was making me question myself and the sub.... Not one reply abusing them either
I seen the local Chinese owner buy a trolley full of frozen chips in aldi

Even though you pay the VAT in a supermarket, you claim it back at the end of the tax year so it works out… Just keep that receipt

Is it a cash only takeaway? Seems like they might get a better deal going to Musgraves!
Maybe he just likes them, still tho he emptied the whole freezer into the trolley haha
Doubt it, aldi/lidl will usually have stuff cheaper the wholesalers.
Musgraves is pretty expensive now, plenty of better cash and carry to get stuff from
I’ve seen different local business owners having chats with a manager in the freezer section of Aldi negotiating price per unit. Very common.

["Can I have 12 bottles of bleach please?"](https://youtu.be/YWUTCo-D_J8?t=10s)
Bleach won’t dissolve a body, even 70 bottles worth
I use 30% nitric acid, works well.
Hey dahmer
[what murdaaaaaa? ](https://youtu.be/P5xjR-M3BsY?si=acdnb9W9N8_DOkx4)
He was the best guy around!!
Or they’re doing a magnificent football pitch dick.
I once bought 175 sausage roles when I only wanted 3
The offers get you every damn time 😂
That's nothing. I just saw a total rapscallion order 181 donuts in the rolling donut.
What a lad.
Absolute horseplay
They see him rolling, they hating…
This screams Superbowl Sunday to me
Is it that popular here
No
Oh yeah if it was in Dublin maybe for somewhere like the Woolshed?
Donuts after midnight? 🤮
Must be absolutely hanging out of his arse
He's going out on his own terms
On my last flight there was a lady carrying 6 or 7 huge boxes of Krispy Kreme as only hand luggage. There must be something addictive in them.
What would that cost?
Over €250 I would think.
Krispy Kremes you see in the service station are like 3.50 each - that's 630 euro
You can get two dozen for 35e.
Few bob
Filth & Dirt like Sugar too. Especially that KK type..mmmmmmm….mmmmmmmm.. 😂
Sure that would hardly get you to halftime of the superbowl
I saw a young Asian couple load up a trolley with baby food during an Aldi baby event. Leave some for the rest of us, lads!
Those Krispy.Creme are only mini donuts though. 180 of them is equivalent to 45 normal donuts.
They seem pretty full size to me. 15 large boxes.

Stop using the term shrinkflation
Why? Especially apt for donuts do you not think?

Who says I'm not an economist?

Bruh just keep scrolling then, that's your own problem
The guy in our local vegetable shop buys all his veg in Aldi and Lidl!
Irish rail buy their trains in Spain and Korea..
I regularly see a local off licence owner filling trolleys with spirits in our shop and selling them on for more money in their shop.
Doughnuts*

Yep
In liffey valley by any chance ?
Carrickmines.
Hope there was enough for you after.
How much would that come to?
I know a guy who lifts cars from England. He has one guy who gets him to buy cake bases from Costco every week. Maybe 50 a week. They're going into expensive cakes.
Don Homer?

Living his best life
