You sound like my ex girlfriend, obsessing over the depth it reaches.

Not every Esso, nowhere close.

There are a limited number of stations - not just Essos (albeit most of them are) - that take them in lieu of Tesco-branded stations for where there aren't any. All listed here - http://www.tesco.ie/petrol/

I bought €15 worth of groceries + €50 tesco gift voucher + €50 tesco gift voucher =€115

Used my €20 off a €100 shop aldi coupon, so total to pay was €95.

Sorry if I didnt explain it right

You never get discount off when buying gift vouchers anywhere, so I was lucky they accepted my aldi money off coupon.

thank you i m wrecked from over stocking so your post came at perfect time .. used aldi voucher today in tesco. i got 12 bottles wine in tesco (6 for 40 ) and 2 x 40 euro gift cards and no bother accepting my aldi voucher, my 12 bottles wine cost me 54 euro and teenage nephews sorted for christmas

Heatons online is abysmal, I just happened to see them there today and they're the exact same ones that are in Dunnes and Tesco, but cheaper. I was going to get one but it's too big to fit in my pot press, in fact it's too big for most standard cupboards that have shelving. It would have to live on top of the utility presses for 364 days of the year. It's reminiscent of the pot that used to sit on the cooker at home when I was a child as it was too big to go anywhere so never left the cooker top.

Got one in Woodies yesterday- 50% off, and an additional 20% because of some weird text message on my phone. Its a 20 litre Prestige stock pot- and like yours- isn't going to fit in any cupboard in the house. Price 19.80 after the various discounts. Was going to go for Tesco one- but the quality of the Prestige tipped me in the other direction.

Yes- the receipt printed out as a till spit- 5c a litre off when you spend 50 Euro, 10c a litre off when you spend 100 Euro.

Any of the Tescos that don't have their own filling station normally have a large banner outside advertising which of the 'local' stations take the Tesco vouchers. And no- its not all Essos........

I see, Palmerstown is on it but clondalkin 9th lock isnt?

Its not all Essos- its selected service stations where Tesco don't have their own. You are right about their prices- they tend to be very competitive on a local basis- with a few outstanding examples- such as the Esso on the South Quays on the way out of Dublin- which can be up to 5-6c a litre cheaper than competitors. Most Tescos that don't have their own filling stations- will have banners outside them, advising which of the local stations take their fuel vouchers.

I think Lucan may mention something about the Maxol nearby previously, I dont see it on the list, Ive been throwing these till spits away mostly, I'd one on a noticeboard but it just expired yesterday, that'd have come in handy to top up the wifes car, another one that'll last for a while, I may as well use it up, orange light just came on. Suprised these are useable outside the Tesco stations, in particular as Tesco stations are not very keenly priced for a long time, they used to be. I suppose Esso Palmerstown is Tesco Lucans local station.

Ive never seen these banners, I dont think it has been highly advertised, at least Lucan is on the list and I'll have to assume they know about it, not my usual, but I have gone there from time to time in the past and not too far, the 5cent off makes it seem worthwhile, but even on a full fill of 55lts which I never get, that'd be only 2.75 saving.
I dont buy my shopping in €100 buys so no 10cent off per litre, think I save more buying shopping in €40 buys and using €6 off vouchers per that spend, still I'll use it as I cant help myself. I'll really penny pinch and get pumps.ie out to compare the price per litre to be sure.

How long has this been going on for?

L1011 · 22-12-2014 9:30am

Since November or earlier. Just used a spit from one of my 50-for-32 stacking trips to get fuel at an esso that was 7c cheaper than tesco to begin with. The clubcard points aren't worth that much!

Since some time in September- and it was on for 3 weeks in July- before being discontinued. The current ruin is supposed to end on Christmas Eve (though they're not advertising this).

I hadnt realised they advertised it at all, hadnt heard of it, but thankfully the signs were on the pumps in an esso I went to today, even though it was on the list in the link posted, I was sure Id be explaining it at the till.
Very little saving in it, but if you're passing, why not.
More to be saved on food using vouchers or on spending a specific amount.

What are dimensions of the one you got at Woodies? I saw the ones at Heatons but don't like that it's aluminium. Maybe the Woodie's one is aluminium too.

57cm tall (its quite ridiculously tall)
20cm diameter
Capacity 18 litres
Stainless steel exterior (no idea about the interior- it doesn't say)
Nice glass lid and bakelite handles.
Apparently its ovenproof up to 180c- though good luck finding an oven it'll fit in......

Make = Prestige
