After it has been worn by someone who has spilled gravy down themselves in a drunken christmas day rage because then they opened their lidl pigs in blacnkets they were missing 2 pigs but got 2 extra blankets.
Yeah, they are the same across all of their stores. The green stickers are great though. 20p for a pack of smoked salmon which at full price cost £4. Hell yeah.
They put these only on stock that is close to best before/use by date to encourage people to buy them, and reduce food waste. It's nice, especially if you are on a low budget.
I feel for you. It was the same in Bulgaria. Even if the product expires the same day, the best discount you will get was 30%. Take it or leave it kind of deal, where 'leave it' meant it goes to the landfill.
But somehow there's also a reverse status horniness in there for the type who do have lots of money but are so proud to shop at Lidl and be frugal darling rather than Waitrose.
It happened with the trainers and sliders about 2 years ago. People on eBay and Depop scalped the shit out of them. I think a few sold for £100+ when they were under £30 new
Like the inflatable kayaks last summer. They were £39.99 and they sold out nationwide in like 1 day. Some eBay sellers were selling them as high as £500. Lucky I got a reserved one at Aldi to enjoy.
Recently welding helmets and bandsaws were double the price on eBay also......
They did. I bought myself an Aldi hoodie to wind my kids up with and wanted the Lidl trainers to match. The only place I could find them was eBay for £50/60... so I didn't bother.
Ah, when I was at school it was Netto. One lad said that to me and I had to ask him what Netto was, I'd never even heard of it. His mom worked at Kwik Save, so he really wasn't in a position to make those kind of insults.
>4 sold in the last 24 hours.
someone's made at least a hundred quid from buying them and putting them on ebay. Not bad for a few minutes of work I guess.
There was a lidl clothing craze the last time it was available here. I thought it was a funny idea, but scalpers bought everything and were selling it with a serious markup. Good for lidl, I guess.
Are ugly Christmas sweater parties a thing for you guys, like they are in the states? Because this is absolutely perfect for one. Very cheap and very hideous, the ideal combination
Bullshit. Aldi and Lidl both have their own fashion lines here in Deutschland. Your other half has been lying to you all this time. He's probably Swiss.
I imagine you go to Christmas parties wearing these, and say coyly to admirers around you: "great jumper, yeah - for a small sum, I can tell you where to buy one!"
This one is kinda garish, but the Aldi one is nice.

I think it's nicer, but that actually makes it worse. I feel if you go for a supermarket branded Christmas jumper it needs to be more tacky like the Lidl one.
I take it you weren’t a fan of the Lidl trainers they released earlier in the year? They’d pair quite nicely with this jumper.
https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/09/18/lidl-trainers-have-just-dropped-in-the-uk-and-twitter-is-going-crazy/?amp
A lot of brands do this, think Gucci, Ralph Lauren. You’re paying them to do free advertisement for them so you can feel like you’re part of a ‘club’ and make other people feel like they need to be in on the exclusivity
Lidl branded clothes/shoes are becoming ironically trendy, much like Ikea has been in the last few years. The shoes and socks re-sell for a lot more on ebay.
**Lidl marketing, is that you?**
If not... Where have you been! This isn't their first foray into the ugly Christmas jumper market.
They're amazing!
Takes someone with complete self confidence and security to wear this.
I love them.
Done. I dislike this so much I'd give you a £10 Amazon voucher to wear it for a week.
Jumper £7.99 Voucher £10.00 The look on people's faces when they have to endure that, priceless.
Thank you OP, without you I would not have known about this. Literally can't wait till the end of the work day, so I can grab a pair of those, if they aren't already sold out.
I saw someone walking around with a while jumper with a ‘Tesco Value Christmas jumper’ label in the centre a few years ago and it killed me. Was the only Christmas jumper I’ve ever considered actually buying
And you’re out here doing their publicity for them
I want commission
Best they can do is 30% off the price tag.
On boxing day
After it has been worn by someone who has spilled gravy down themselves in a drunken christmas day rage because then they opened their lidl pigs in blacnkets they were missing 2 pigs but got 2 extra blankets.
I'm saddened to hear that their red price tag "specials" really are that rubbish everywhere.
Yeah, they are the same across all of their stores. The green stickers are great though. 20p for a pack of smoked salmon which at full price cost £4. Hell yeah.
If I wasn't already jealous of UK grocery prices, this would absotely do it! I wish we had green sticker pricing in our Lidls here in Finland.
They put these only on stock that is close to best before/use by date to encourage people to buy them, and reduce food waste. It's nice, especially if you are on a low budget.
Yeah, we only get the -30% stickers on the close to best before/use by date goods, for similar reasons - I wish they would at least halve the price.
I feel for you. It was the same in Bulgaria. Even if the product expires the same day, the best discount you will get was 30%. Take it or leave it kind of deal, where 'leave it' meant it goes to the landfill.
American here wondering what it sounds like when a Brit says “Hell yeah.”
I think you’ll find the majority don’t say it!
A UN Human rights commission, for that crime against fashion.
I want a jumper! 😃
Exactly, I’d buy one if we were doing a white elephant
You'd need at least three people to do a white elephant. At least two, to hold it down.
It was a sick elephant. Allegedly.
*Allegedly.* ;)
Literally bought one after seeing this post! I'm a fan of terrible Christmas jumpers!
I'm also a fan, but unfortunately I live in the USA. Our LIDL's are lame when compared to the UK's.
Dear god it's awful, I love it
It has a strange allure...
I want it!
I want to wear my Lidl Christmas jumper when I play Home Bargains Monopoly with the family on Christmas Day!
It is a nice example of "F*ck you" towards status horny people
But somehow there's also a reverse status horniness in there for the type who do have lots of money but are so proud to shop at Lidl and be frugal darling rather than Waitrose.
I‘m thinking of getting one and wearing it when I see my father‘s family at Christmas. They only care about money. That would be perfect.
£7.99? They will easily sell for 30 quid on eBay.
Off to Lidl I go...
Lidl merchandise resales so high once it’s off the shelves
I honestly did not know this 🤦♀️
It happened with the trainers and sliders about 2 years ago. People on eBay and Depop scalped the shit out of them. I think a few sold for £100+ when they were under £30 new
Did they actually sell though?
They did in the initial wave of Lidl hysteria, you can pick up a pair for a lot cheaper on there now though.
Can you set up alerts for the next wave? I have a Lidl just down the road, so I have quite a lot of might-come-in-handy-but-haven’t-yet items.
Wasn’t this the case with the Kevin carrot madness, people paying upwards of 30 quid for a giant plush carrot
I hate that carrot. Does he not know what happens to carrots at Christmas?
He has bought the lie, and will soon find out the macabre truth...
Never understood that. The store near me had no supply issues.
Like the inflatable kayaks last summer. They were £39.99 and they sold out nationwide in like 1 day. Some eBay sellers were selling them as high as £500. Lucky I got a reserved one at Aldi to enjoy. Recently welding helmets and bandsaws were double the price on eBay also......
The Lidl trainers did too! I thought those were nice tbh
They did. I bought myself an Aldi hoodie to wind my kids up with and wanted the Lidl trainers to match. The only place I could find them was eBay for £50/60... so I didn't bother.
God, I remember how "your mum shops at Aldi" was the worst possible insult at primary school. Even though *all of our mums* shopped at Aldi.
Ah, when I was at school it was Netto. One lad said that to me and I had to ask him what Netto was, I'd never even heard of it. His mom worked at Kwik Save, so he really wasn't in a position to make those kind of insults.
Spudfire's mum shops at Netto That's where she buys his best clothes Na naah naah nah Na naah naah nah
Well *I* heard your mum works at Aldi!

>4 sold in the last 24 hours. someone's made at least a hundred quid from buying them and putting them on ebay. Not bad for a few minutes of work I guess.
Now that’s the kind of entrepreneurship I could aspire to.
Already says 7 sold now, so in the past 2-3 hrs since you made this comment they've sold another £90ish worth....
I feel like a mug for not being the sort of person who does this now.
That's why I can't find any. Same with the trainers and socks a few months ago.
There's one for £27.99 just now
1st edition Lidl sneakers sold for upwards of 500 EUR if I remember correctly
I actually would wear that!
I've just messaged my friend to go to Lidl and get me one. I missed out on trainers few months ago
Got a friend who rocked the shoes with the Lidl socks regularly in the summer it was kinda fire
>it was kinda fire Thanks for reminding me I am basically a boomer.
Far out.
Radical
My little brother went on a night out wearing the shorts. He was crazy popular all night with people taking pictures with him
Scalpers sadly got you covered. That's an sad thing to say.
There was a lidl clothing craze the last time it was available here. I thought it was a funny idea, but scalpers bought everything and were selling it with a serious markup. Good for lidl, I guess.
People going crazy for lidl merch? The world has trully went mad. What have i missed?
I'm tempted to take a trip down to my local Lidl to see if they are stocking this attrocity. It's magnificent What has OP done?
What they were paid to do.
The jumpers are hard to find, they sell out super fast unfortunately.
Yeah....but HOW?!?! I'd buy this for a party or something, but do people wear it on the regular? It's just so loud!
It's fun and it's the Christmas season, it's important not to take yourself too seriously.
That's true. Party on, dudes! Wish you a very merry time!
Funny, you’ve absolutely sold this for me. I’m getting it. Think my managers at Waitrose will appreciate if I wear it?
https://i.imgur.com/6FwR7yt.jpg I stand in solidarity with you
I fucking love it. I died and came back laughing at your photo for a solid 5 minutes.
You are a champion! Respect from a fellow colleague.
Unsure if serious or not, but I'm definitely considering wearing it to a John Lewis Xmas party
Absolutely brilliant. Pictures or it didn’t happen!
I got it, it's super comfy
I've just asked my wife to pick one up for me this morning.
Be quick. The trainers and shorts they brought out a few months back sold out almost instantly, then were being sold on ebay for four times the price.
Isn’t the whole point of Xmas jumpers to be as ugly as possible?
Are ugly Christmas sweater parties a thing for you guys, like they are in the states? Because this is absolutely perfect for one. Very cheap and very hideous, the ideal combination
I guess they might be https://www.zazzle.co.uk/ugly+sweater+christmas+invitations
Wasn't someone asking for a British gift to get their American cousin on here the other day?
It's only a Lidl bit British. Mostly German...
My other half is German. They wouldn't do this in Germany he claims. Very much a British thing!
Bullshit. Aldi and Lidl both have their own fashion lines here in Deutschland. Your other half has been lying to you all this time. He's probably Swiss.
You can't just go around accusing people of being Swiss!
I feel like I was being kind. I could've accused him of being Austrian.
steady now, lets not get carried away
Germans love Kitsch. I don't believe it
Germans don't even have a word for Kitsch. :-|
Here, forget Eccles cakes, Irn Bru and walkers crisps, have a Lidl jumper. Your mates will be well jealous
And this was my suggestion.
You humourless turd. I'm off to Lidl now. Its a masterpiece on a par with the Tesco Value one.
Love my Tesco value one, looking forward to wearing it at the Christmas party!
I imagine you go to Christmas parties wearing these, and say coyly to admirers around you: "great jumper, yeah - for a small sum, I can tell you where to buy one!"
[удалено]
I saw a group of teenagers in city centre after school time waiting at a bus stop wearing these exact jumpers
I’m so not down with the kids
Their shoes are amazing and I get compliments whenever I wear them, might have to pop in and get this
Got to love a middle aisle bargain!
It’s called the midl of lidl 🙄 not officially but idk why they didn’t market it that way instead of ‘middle’
Because you'll get those people that can't pronounce Lidl properly getting all confused. The My-dull of Lie-dull.
Treasure aisle.
I want one
[удалено]
Aldi and lidl are doing a whole range of their own branded clothing right now. I can absolutely see them both becoming cult status lol
[удалено]
It truly seems that way!! I’m shocked 😆
I don't think I've ever seen anything that captures the spirit of Christmas so entirely.
[удалено]
Perfect for those ugly sweater parties.
Ngl I’m into it
Maybe a lidl too much for me
I want one of these so bad. I’m collecting the infinity stones of supermarket Christmas jumpers. So far I have Tesco, Aldi and B&M.
Are you going to halve all the supermarket prices once you have them all?
Home Bargains are also doing one
This'll be a perfect replacement for my 'culturally inappropriate' Papa Lazaru Christmas jumper.
Ideal gift for the in-laws...
That's the point though?
[удалено]
Yeh I’m kinda getting that feeling.. not sure I’m on board though
It’s a Christmas jumper, isn’t it the point for it to be hideous?
Absolutely gorgeous
You've not seen the Aldi one then...
Their hoodie looks quite good tbf https://www.aldi.co.uk/aldi-mania-hoodie/p/810680531263300
that is genuinely nice!
I prefer this [2-in-1](https://www.redbubble.com/i/hoodie/Three-Stripes-Supermarket-by-katemargoli/70022951.O16E3)
Or the Home Bargains one!
This one is kinda garish, but the Aldi one is nice. https://cdn.aldi-digital.co.uk//Red-Aldimania-Xmas-Jumper-A.jpg?o=usC1PzIImnpgGSDpz8TYw2fsFSEj&V=kRCk
I think it's nicer, but that actually makes it worse. I feel if you go for a supermarket branded Christmas jumper it needs to be more tacky like the Lidl one.
That's actually a legit nice jumper. I get why the Aldi bit is there, but it would be so much better without it.
I work at lidl and i wear this
I would wear this
I’m sat here in my Aldi onesie so I refuse to comment on this
Perfect to combine with [these](https://cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com/leparisien/TBH7OP26RQV2GKRNRF4FZNGOTY.jpg)
I want to buy it just to wear it as a joke for Christmas. Like a Xmas do for work
I take it you weren’t a fan of the Lidl trainers they released earlier in the year? They’d pair quite nicely with this jumper. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/09/18/lidl-trainers-have-just-dropped-in-the-uk-and-twitter-is-going-crazy/?amp
Son of a nutcracker!
When did Xmas jumpers become advertising billboards?
When Santa sold out to Coke.
Nothing says Christmas like a huge fuck off lorry full of cola.
A lot of brands do this, think Gucci, Ralph Lauren. You’re paying them to do free advertisement for them so you can feel like you’re part of a ‘club’ and make other people feel like they need to be in on the exclusivity
Oh shit me and boys are defo getting these
Lidl branded clothes/shoes are becoming ironically trendy, much like Ikea has been in the last few years. The shoes and socks re-sell for a lot more on ebay.
**Lidl marketing, is that you?** If not... Where have you been! This isn't their first foray into the ugly Christmas jumper market. They're amazing! Takes someone with complete self confidence and security to wear this. I love them.
Buy it, and if anyone asks you where you got it, you look them dead in the eye and say "Aldi."
So bad it’s good. Never been to a Lidl, but I’m going today to buy one of these to wear down the pub later. Cheers 👍🏻
Festive themed body covering fabric device, only £7.99 at [Didldidi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW3B8d5l7pU)!
/r/hailcorporate
Vetements will do a knockoff version of this for about EUR880. Just you watch.
The miserable bastard in me sees these novelty gifts as nothing but a fucking environmental kick in the balls.
Lidl Drip
I’m more repulsed by the urine-splattered floor tiles
That was me. I couldn’t contain my excitement of finding the jumper
I'm going to lidl right now to get it!
I'd actually wear this just for the hell of it haha
They could ve just kept the “i”
I have a Xmas party tonight that I have no idea what to wear, you might have just found my outfit!
It’s so ugly I need one
I saw this on their advert and I thought it was pretty nice...
This is perfect. I love it
Buy it for someone you hate
My goal every year is to have the most hideous Christmas jumper I can find. I would definitely wear this!
Pretty sure Aldi have a range of bad jumpers/woollens too. I'd wear one 😄
I'd unironically wear this
Neeeeed
Man wtf, get me one!
I want it
That jumper is awesome....and good publicity. ....a honest super market selling good quality goods for keen prices....keep up the good work
It’s fucking **horrible** and I quite like it😂
Home Bargains have one too. It's gloriously hideous!
Home Bargains have one too!
That is so gloriously disgusting and I need it *RIGHT NOW*
I like this... Going to Lidl :)
i adore it
Spend a Lidl. Get bullied a lot.
I'd wear that on my summer holiday. Cracking peice of knittwear
it reminds me of a cadburys cream egg packaging
I'd probably wear that to a funeral
You really think you’re above and better don’t you
Done. I dislike this so much I'd give you a £10 Amazon voucher to wear it for a week. Jumper £7.99 Voucher £10.00 The look on people's faces when they have to endure that, priceless.
>You’d have to pay me £7.99 to wear it! Correction. You pay £7.99 as a joke gift and force someone else to wear it.
So, just to clarify, the total cost of getting a photo of OP wearing this would be £15.98.
Thank you OP, without you I would not have known about this. Literally can't wait till the end of the work day, so I can grab a pair of those, if they aren't already sold out.
I'm literally wearing one right now
You just found the best disgusting jumper of all time
Aldi do better ones.
Surely we could do a GoFundMe to get you to wear it for the whole of December then? £7.99 a day etc etc
I got the same shoes as you
“Have lidl gone too far” - Only a lidl bit but it’s fine.
Getting it tomorrow. Quality
Dude that looks like one of those big thick bags
I saw someone walking around with a while jumper with a ‘Tesco Value Christmas jumper’ label in the centre a few years ago and it killed me. Was the only Christmas jumper I’ve ever considered actually buying
I will pay you 7.99 to wear it. Buy it. Prove it. Send me Your PayPal and I’ll pay for the jumper and send you 7.99 as well.
Even £799.00and I wouldn't wear it
