Scanning at €12 in Tesco Galway

scanning at the same price (€12) in Wilton!

got a huge box of thornton's chocolates for €6.49 (half price), the smaller box was next to them on the shelf for €7.

Nanazolie · 19-12-2014 9:30am

the chocolates were 12€ in Clare hall too. However, I got a box of Tesco Finest ones, 9.99 for 400g, that's great value. The box is also quite pretty and will make a lovely gift

There were some good discounts on kitchenware (baking tins, etc) and they have recently launched a dainty baking line, like cake pops moulds, cupcake liners, etc... All more or less what you get in specialist stores but for a fraction of the price (cool stocking fillers). Also 3 for 2 on Dr Oetker cake decorations

whelan2 · 19-12-2014 6:44pm

great offers on wine at the minute, 6 bottles for 40 euro -can use aldi voucher. or some other wines are 6 for 50.

Yes- in the fruit and veg aisle (Maynooth and Lucan- not sure about other stores).

Got a few of those last year, went for the Dairy Box €9.49 this year, they look the biz, bought a fair few of them for clients.

Lads regarding the aldi/lidl voucher can you Defo use them for buying a tesco voucher or does it depend on the cashier

I got a receipt with my shopping . 5 cent per litre off Tesco fuel at Tesco filling stations up to 100 litres. Is this any good compared to the cheapest deal elsewhere ?

Depends entirely on where you buy your diesel.
I used a Tesco 10c a litre off voucher in Esso in Palmerstown yesterday evening- and got 58 litres at 116.9c a litre- which I consider to be quite remarkable (its 126.9c/litre otherwise). It really is the case that you need to shop around and plan ahead. Tesco Maynooth (where I got the 10c a litre voucher in the first instance)- is currently charging 134.9c/litre for diesel- which has to be up there with the crappest price for diesel in the country). If you know you're going to Dublin (or elsewhere)- use pumps.ie to price the fuel on your route- and you will save a few shekels. I saved over a fiver on the discounted Tesco price- for a journey I had to take anyway- so happy days. If you're deliberately driving out of your way to get cheaper fuel- it may not be worth it though.........

I'd change that buying fuel based on just price alone may not be worth it. Make sure to buy from a trustworthy garage as a trip to mechanic with engine trouble will cost much more than saving cents on a fill up

One member here posted that he purchased tesco voucher and got the aldi/lidl coupon honoured. But, for me, I was not allowed for the same; I also mention that the person in the counter was a senior member and well aware of these things (at least I guess by the way I judged).

Kenjataimu · 21-12-2014 12:06pm

I just went to my local tesco, got 15euro worth of groceries I needed.

Before the young fella at the checkout started to scan, I asked him for two 50euro vouchers.

He put them thru first and then scanned the rest of my shop.

So when it came to 115 I gave him my aldi voucher. Accepted no problem.

I don't really like shopping in tesco but I end up spending around 20 a week there, I do the rest in aldi.

Thanks to whoever posted about getting gift vouchers

My 5 cent of per litre voucher doesnt seem worth it for me . My city centre starting point might not be that relevant but Tesco stations seem to be much more than 5 cent dearer than the competition.

Aldi should give out some 50c off, per litre of petrol in their petrol stations, and then sit back and watch as Tesco collapses from accepting the vouchers

A) Tesco do not accept competitor's vouchers for fuel purchases.

Aldi (and Lidl) don't have any petrol stations- so its moot.
C) The lot of them would end up in court with the ASA and the Competition Authority- if they tried this lark- purely on the basis of unavailability (as in- complete and utter unavailability- you cannot advertise something that is unavailable).

I just bought 12 bottles of Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc for €91.60. They are €14 each but available on the 6 bottles for €50 offer. Then you also get 5% off the full price for buying 6 bottles or more.

So it was €14 x 12 bottles = €168. Less €9.40 = €91.60.:D

You'd be seriously pissed off if you worked in the petrol station and had 10-15 people an hour trying to use competitor tokens, and a queue of customers out the door, trying to pay....... This afternoon- one of the staff in Maynooth was actually in tears over the aggressive confrontation with one customer because she wasn't able to take the coupons. It really isn't funny. Its spelt out clearly enough.

niamhdeego · 21-12-2014 6:56pm

Esso are accepting tesco vouchers on price per litre off? only palmerstown? or esso everywhere? as esso seems to be the cheapest and I use them and have tesco per litre money off vouchers, this could come in handy.

how did you get two 50 euro vouchers? on what basis? they just giving them out if you spend more than a certain value? what do you have to do/spend to get them, Lucan probably wont be doing that, although they seem to be upping their game on the customer service, I think something happened here as I saw someone doing a survey about it and the staff seem to have done an about face on being helpful, which they werrent very before.

I think he means he bought two gift vouchers/gift cards. The list of essos that accept them is on the tesco website. There's a small few non tesco stations that take them. They can be funny about taking the vouchers you get from online shopping

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.

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.

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/

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 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?
