Generally, the mirrored lenses are for bright light conditions (the mirroring reflects light, of course) but you might be able to get something with a very light mirror effect. Unlikely from Aldi I would have thought.
Keep an eye out for sales; Oakleys do appear at good discounts occasionally and are well worth the money if you can get a reduced price.
Sportpursuit have a bunch of Bolle goggles at half-price and less at the moment so worth a look if you don't need them immediately. They have had some Oakley skiwear recently too, but not sure about goggles.

Go into your local ski shop and try some on, find a type you like and then search the internet 8)

Ian is right and to add to that do lots of internet research. You can find plenty of information about different lenses in varying light levels and how it will affect your visibility.

Mirrored lenses are for sunny conditions.
However you an get goggles with interchangeable lenses, i.e. 1 yellow/orange for a cloudy day and one mirrored for a sunny one.
I can recommend Adidas Yodai.

As mentioned above find a pair you like the look of in shop and trawl the net for the best price then just purchase the extra lenses. I have a pair of anon which came with a reflective lens, I then purchased the low light lens from the same range, looked exactly the same just slightly more transparent.
Think my goggles were about £75 and the extra lens was £30 from memory.
