So that explains those till spit vouchers expiring on 22 October..

kn · 21-10-2014 10:17am

Decent offer for a change from one of the multiples unlike the nonsense I got in the post recently such as €25 off a €125 shop when they know full well I never do a €125 shop as I 'shop around'.

kn · 21-10-2014 10:18am

Just bye the bye but are there any good drink offers in Dunnes at the mo?

the groutch · 21-10-2014 10:26am

I wish they would cut out all the gimmicky offers and just lower their prices.

I agree, I would prefer that. However maybe this is not possible on branded items, as the manufacturer will likely have a say in the everyday RRP, i.e. not to be sold under a certain price (guessing here, so don't shoot me).

If it's not already on 'special offer' it's probably easier to give an overall 'kickback' than adjust thousands of prices, not to mention the constant 'upping' and 'downing' of prices we'd see, not to mention the confusion caused.

What helps Lidl & Aldi look exceptionally good is that they only stock a fraction of the lines Dunnes do. But I find Dunnes own brand to be of a good quality, and the prices similar to what you would see in Lidl/Aldi for Rice, Pasta, Eggs, bread, tinned goods, even fresh food. 20% back in August, September & October + convenient location has meant I have switched back from Lidl.

At least I won't have to be counting how much Im spending as I go and can spend what I like

The purpose of these offers is to get you to spend more, not save you money. Hence the customised vouchers being for more than you usually spend

ruth12345 · 22-10-2014 11:09pm

Is there a minimum spend for this?

E.g if i bought a can of coke for €1, would i get 20c back in points?

Yeah it normally shows on your receipt that you earned 20 points

Yeah I'm actually fuming at the moment.
Always do my weekly shop at Dunnes on a Thursday and had €35 worth of savings coming my way tomorrow, only to realise tonight that my coupons expired a day earlier than they should have!
What a mean, underhanded trick to mislead most customers who do a weekly shop on a designated day to cut the validity of the coupons short like that.
I'll try them at the till anyway but not expecting much joy.

I noticed that last week and actually posted about it in the thread about the vouchers back. The other weeks I got the vouchers they were valid for 10 days or so but just happened to check them on thurs and they expired on Tues.

So I used them in tesco with their 20 off 60 for shop online!

Quackster · 30-10-2014 4:15am

Bought just over 50 quid worth of groceries in Dunnes on Wednesday and, as well as the 20% back in points, I also received a €10 off €50 spend & save voucher at the end of my receipt. Valid from 2nd to 11th November. (I.e. from the day after the 20% back offer ends.)

Is it only 10 for 50, or is the 5 for 25 back as well?

TheDriver · 30-10-2014 2:59pm

Will these come as a simple 5 euro off or will there be strings attached i.e. You must spend 1500 euro....

They are €10 off a €50 spend. Not sure I remember any that were €5 off €1500, as you remember it. Anyway, I'll take 20% off over your .003%. Or you were hardly exaggerating in an effort to diminish the offer??

We got a 5 for 25 yesterday...

lotsofthegreen · 30-10-2014 8:51pm

Spent €91 in Northside today, got 1820 points and also them spend and save coupons : a tenner off 50 and a fiver off 25 both valid from 2 -11th November

Dickerty · 31-10-2014 2:04pm

I have no issue with any of the Dunnes offers. When they did the till receipt discounts, they were always good until the following weekend, and cover whether I needed to do a big or small shop. As for this particular deal, it is great - I spent 140 last week, probably the same tomorrow, so I will get €56 in vouchers later, on top of my normal vouchers. Will probably get close to a week's shopping free. I have no problem with that!

Yggr of Asgard · 31-10-2014 2:54pm

I got save 10 when you spend 50 today and she took the time to tell me how they work and that when I want to use them all together (I got more than 1) that I should tell the person next time that I had more than voucher and they would trick the system so that I don't need to pay my shopping in 50€ tranches. Nice of her.

The Supervalue in the shopping center had a sign "we accept dunnes voucher", so they are now jumping onto the bandwagon too.

But overall, it would be nicer if they simply lower the prices instead of this crazy 20% offers they do at present and until the 11/11.

However it was noticeable more busy today in the store, looks like the 20% off is bringing people in.

Also the lady told me that for over 25€ spend they now offer free delivery. Now if they only would offer online shopping for food.

rosieirl · 11-11-2014 9:46pm

Well feck Dunnes anyway with their €10 off €50 offers. My cupboards are full to the brim with their offers but, never one to turn down a 'free tenner', I made use of my final €10 off €50 tonight 11/11/14. Sure it's one last time, I thought. This will keep me going into 2015. And what did I see as I pushed my trolley through the shopping centre door, but ANOTHER €10 off €50 offer, being advertised, valid until 21/11/14. The same variations of €5 off €25, and €15 off €75 etc apply too. So ONE LAST TIME....

uck51js9zml2yt · 11-11-2014 11:15pm

Ive been stocking up on SMA follow on milk
2 for 20 € times 2 + a tenner of other stuff.:) Theres no room left in the presses

FrStone · 11-11-2014 11:29pm

When I was living at home, I never did much grocery shopping just a bit of alcohol etc. Dunnes Stores never bothered to post me any vouchers out even though I may have spent a 100 or two over the past 8 weeks. Tesco always did, so no matter how good there offers are I try not to do my weekly shopping there.

kn · 12-11-2014 1:39am

I bet Dunnes will do the same again, or something similar, in advance of Christmas. My local Dunnes was very full at times when I regularly go there when it would be otherwise pretty quite during the straight 20% offer. The €5, €10 and €20 off offers just did not grab the public in the same way.

casio4 · 13-11-2014 8:54am

I have a €10 voucher and a €5 one does this mean I have to spend €75 to use them together? are tesco accepting these vouchers?

joanas · 13-11-2014 9:47am

Yes, you would have to spend €75 to use the vouchers and Tesco do accept these vouchers.

My local Tesco wont let you use them together so you have to split the shopping to take advantage of both

One of the major disadvantages of using these in Tesco is that you don't generate any new vouchers. If used together in Dunnes, you would get another €10 & €5 voucher, which I find quite handy.

I don't have any voucher at the moment. If I purchase (say for €25) do I get an offer-voucher? And what is the closing date till which one would get the voucher?

Hi mac.in, yes, spend €25 or more and you get €5 off your next €25 or more shop. It is normally dated for 10 days from the day after your original purchase. If the offer is coming to a close, the number of days may be less, so be sure to check each individual coupon.

davebushe · 19-11-2014 1:52pm

50 quid this morning got me another 10 voucher valid till 29th.

hillbloom · 19-11-2014 2:37pm

I am not a bit happy with the current offer. I live 30km from the nearest Dunnes & when I get a voucher, it means going again to avail of the discount. Are they sending out the usual Xmas vouchers in the post.

Would you prefer that there was no discount, so that you could be happier 30km away from your nearest Dunnes?

hillbloom · 19-11-2014 3:47pm

Thank you itsallock. I was just inquiring about the Xmas mail.

Ah I was being very sharp, so apologies. For plenty of people who live closer to a Dunnes, this is an excellent offer.

I believe first week in December for the Xmas mailing.

Sorry, are they doing the money off vouchers on the receipts again?

Hy Gieni · 30-11-2014 12:15am

Was in Dunnes today and heard that their money off vouchers will stop being issued on Monday

Karen23 · 30-11-2014 12:47am

I got one yesterday, valid until 8th December. Wasn't expecting to get another one this week

TheDriver · 30-11-2014 10:50am

Noticed 8th on mine too and should be 10th so end is near

kn · 30-11-2014 1:38pm

Anyone get their mailing with the vouchers yet?

Connrang · 30-11-2014 1:48pm

Hi,

Vouchers expected to be mailed around 8th of December, they go out in groups so could be some slightly earlier but 8th is target date.

used my last vouchers last night, no more issued

CarrickMcJoe · 05-12-2014 9:17am

No, none this week, thinking that Dunnes will be posting the money off vouchers this week.

jockeyboard · 05-12-2014 10:10am

Thanks guys. Suppose it had to end sometime!
