    Tesco doing some decent slabs of beer offer in the run up to Paddys Weekend.

    Sol is €13 for 12 bottles, Corona is €16 for 12 bottles, Bulmers is €20 for 20 bottles, Canadian Molston have 24 bottles for €20. Heineken and Coors Light are both €22 for 20 bottles.

    I remember was it at Xmas there was two of these slabs for €25 or €30 but these offers aren't given anymore. I'd imagine if there were such deals for Paddys weekend that they would have been publicized by now.

    If you drank a Bud and then a Canadian, chances are you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

    Like a nicer coors light! :)
    I love it but not to say that everyone will. I do think most people would enjoy it though. Buy a bottle and try it before buying a case

    Yeah, I've become used to calling 24 bottles a crate.

    No they are called slabs - I don't know a single person who calls them trays or crates.

    I don't know about that. Its 12 days to Paddys day and there's nothing. And the signs in Tesco are all about the drink prices until 18th March so maybe there's been a clamp down on the multi buys or something.

    I'll check Dunnes tonight or tomorrow for promotions or price offers. Super Valu are a couple of euro dearer than Tesco for everything across the board.

    €5.49 in Lidl - not a special ... an everyday price.

    Laughably the same 4 pack is €8.15 in Dunnes and Tesco ... and a jaw dropping €9.29 in O'Briens :rolleyes:

    SuperValu are still doing most large brands of cans at €13 for 8. Best can offer around.

    Bottles are wasteful for value. Not as much value per ml as cans. Less litres.

    That's still poor enough. Maybe we've just been spoiled over recent yrs at festive periods where you would feel hard done by if you couldn't get your paws on slabs of your chosen tipple for 1€ per can.
