I seem to get very grouchy staff in Maynooth.........

Very odd store tbh, a couple of the underlings went crazy a few months back when I bought a shed load of the 1c games and dvds, did just get a bargain of sorts down there though, two series 9 lego mini figures for €2.24 each, a few years old but could be good figures.

Got the xbox 360 kinect star wars bundle today in Tesco Sligo for 99 euro. R2-D2 style console with a 320gb hdd, kinect, kinect star wars game and a c-3po joypad.

Nope as far as I know the only conditions are standard.
cigarettes, baby formula, lottery, tobacco.
phone credit shouldn't be included. I haven't had any problems so far!

I had no problem last week using a Lidl 10/50 coupon at Tesco in Castlebar to buy a total of €50 in items, including €20 phone top-up. But today I tried to do the same in Tesco Claremorris and was turned down. The cashier called a manager over and she pointed to the phrase "terms and conditions apply" but of course there was no mention of phone credit as being an excluded item. I didn't argue the point.

Are others having a similar experience?

Went to Tesco Swinford last night. First of all asked the girl at the checkout do they accept the Lidl vouchers and can I use it to get €30 Top Up plus some groceries, she said yeah, no problem. Was delighted, went back to pick up few bits and bobs and back to the same girl. There were few people in front of me so some guy pops out out of nowhere and takes me to the next till. Gave him the voucher and asked for a top up too and he said that can't accept it as the voucher can only be used against the groceries. Told him I asked someone else 5mins earlier and it was fine. He was insisting that they shouldn't be accepting it. Went to Customer Service afterwards and she said it should be OK but she'll need to check it with the manager. And here comes your man again Told him that wasn't impressed. Not that he cared Hope to try it in Sligo tomorrow. Was pretty annoyed all the same!

Think I read on there fb page somewhere that they dont accept it against phone credit and petrol and vouchers/giftcards and the usual other suspects. They had replied to someone asking anout the terms and conditions just cant seem to find it again now

I didnt see that anywhere but you can use them for electrical etc, not just groceries. No idea about phone credit, but may have seen that you cant use it to buy gift cards, wonder if you can buy itunes vouchers?

Seems like it depends on who you get at the checkout really and it varies from store to store too. Some stores and members of staff accept the vouchers against both phone credit and gift cards, others don't.

Used my €10 off Lidl voucher in Tesco Sligo this morning. Got €30 Phone Credit and just over €20 worth groceries. No problem whatsoever!

After problems yesterday in Claremorris (would not let me use voucher toward phone credit), had no problem using it today in Tesco Ballinrobe.

How the heck did all the eggs disappear overnight? There were oodles of them yesterday and there they were today - all gone, except for some mini eggs.
