    those same 4 packs of beef burgers are already reduced to €2.50 in Dunnes - picked up a pack yesterday ;)

    thanks donnacha, i find it so annoying that Dunnes are not online for pricing, if they were i would do more shopping there (with the coupons of course:D)

    Well I know someone who knows someone and supposedly they are working on updating the website and come autumn you'll be able to get it. I still don't get why they can't distribute it electronically seeing as they have to send it to the printers.

    €2.50 in Tesco also at the minute...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 630 ✭✭✭bagels


    The big als on offer in lidl for €2.50 are their regular sized 100% beef burgers.
    The ones i saw in tesco & dunnes for €2.50 yesterday are 'barbecue' quarter pounders containing only 78% beef if i remember correctly.

    In Tesco - Big Al's Crispy Chicken 2 pack (190g) are half price, reduced from €3.49 to €1.74. Using the €1 off chicken voucher these work out at just 74 cents a pack.

    Per 100g for chicken this works out cheaper at 38 cents than the bag of chicken goujons 400g (2.99 - 1 voucher = 1.99) which works out at 50 cents per 100g.

    Thats sneaky if it is, the picture of the BBQ ones on the voucher says made with "made with 100% Irish beef". Many people glance at these and read "made with 100% beef", sticking the Irish in means it could only contain 1% beef, which is Irish. Bulmers do similar trickery with their 100% pear juice adverts, while the drink is mainly composed of sugar & water.

    The pack also says "quick cook from frozen", I wonder if htey made them more airy to cook faster or something.

    Anyway back on topic this is a cut & paste of some big al prices from tesco

    Tiny bit off topic, but has anyone had any problems getting the Big Al's Chicken Dippers at reduced price at Tesco?

    According to latest edition of Tesco Price News (page 9, bottom right of page) they're reduced from 4.99 to 2.49, but they weren't marked reduced at the freezer, in fact they were marked at 5.99, thought this was a mistake, took 6 packs up to the till and they scanned at 5.99!!! Was armed with my copy of price news so manager was called over intercom!!! - big queue forming, I'm getting a little red!!! - manager comes and begrudingly says I can have them at advertised price, so I got 6 packets for 2.49 but she took ALL of the Price News leaflets off the shelf....???

    Anyway my Big Al's shop was as follows:

    6 x Chicken Dippers (24 Pack) - Normally 4.99, reduced to 2.49 - with coupon 1.49
    10 x Chicken Burgets (4 Pack) - normally 2.99, reduced to 1.49 - with coupon .49c

    Also used the €1 off coupon from the Price News Brochure.

    €60 worth of goods for 12.84.

    (Don't worry, I wasn't being greedy with items was buying for sisters too!!!)

    Its the same as an incorrect price label being left up, of course they should take it down/remove labels. They did not have to give it to you at the price in the leaflet -so count yourself very lucky.

    What I found very odd was in the past I was overcharged, complained, the person brought me to confirm the price on the shelf but did NOT remove it, and I got the item free (back when this was policy),

    Tiny bit condesending???

    It's an advertised price! The price news leaflet is still online, so I'm guessing it's not a mistake.... Although if it is people COULD IN THEORY go and buy with a printed Price News off the net... Now I'm not advising that you do so, it's just a theory :o

    Tesco used the wrong image in their flyer, that's all.
    The advertisement says 360g BigAl Dippers is half-price at €2.49 and this is correct.
    Tesco sell BigAls 20 Dippers and 24 Dippers. The 20 Dippers 360g is at €2.49 and the 24 Dippers is at €5.99

    Maybe you should go back to Tesco and make the manager aware that you picked up the wrong pack and offer to pay the correct price.

    I wasn't trying to be -you were lucky to get it, I would have expected them to refuse to lower the price, I would presume it is difficult to do an odd transaction like this on a till, over-riding the value in their system.

    You had question marks after when you said she removed the leaflets. Did you expect they would leave them there?

    Reading your post it seemed you might have thought they were legally obliged to sell you it at the advertised price in the leaflet. I was making this clear to you and others that this is not the case, so others do not go in thinking they are legally entitled to it. It comes up in the consumers forum a lot.

    Why would I not? I didn't know until just now, after reading snubbleste's post that the image was incorrect. How would I know it was wrong, she didn't explain it to me, if she had I would have left them back and got the correct product.

    For some reason you think I'm out to con Tesco, I'm just after a bargain!

    I would not expect them to leave leaflets out with a potential problem, it makes far more sense to remove them than and investigate than to leave them there and have more problems/complaints.

    Enough!!!

    I didn't expect anything from Tesco, I read the leaflet and picked up the items. I would have left them back if she'd explained. They way it was handled was if she had something to hide.

    I don't think I've done anything wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 AG34


    Frowsy - I discussed the very same thing over on the Consumer Affairs thread!

    I contacted the Customer Service line this morning and a very nice guy called Gary agreed that the image was wrong in the brochure, that it was misleading and that I was charged the wrong price( €5.99). He is now sending me a money card so that I will have been refunded double the difference.

    Snubbleste -"Maybe you should go back to Tesco and make the manager aware that you picked up the wrong pack and offer to pay the correct price. "
    Maybe a bit condesending???!!!And insulting??!!!We were not pulling a fast one, we were not shopping on-line and were going by the store brochure. Tesco have acknowledged their mistake to me this morning.

    Thanks for this, was beginning to feel like a thief!!!!
    It was a genuine misunderstanding on my part, and a mistake on the part of Tesco.
    End of! (hopefully) :)

    Then I don't understand why you thought I was being condescending when I said you were lucky to get it at the reduced price? If you really do/did realise you were not entitled to it.

    My posts were to make it clear to everybody reading this thread that you are not entitled to get something for the price displayed. Its a very common misconception that should be nipped in the bud before its perpetuated, many staff have posted in threads about having to endure arguments about non-existent laws.

    I never thought you were trying to scam them.

    just as an aside and maybe to lighten the thread
    ... IMHO the mini goujons on offer at the moment are far nicer than the tenders! €1 for approx 8 in the bag

    Just on that, there are only a few products worth getting . tenders have the highest chicken content, Some of that other stuff is absolute rubbish.

    And there are a few good 100% beef burgers(check the back of the packs to find out how much beef is actually in them) not to be confused with the packaging that reads 100% irish beef, from big als


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭Frowzy


    Big Al's Chicken Goujons 400g now reduced from 5.99 to 2.99, so 1.99 with the coupon.

    If you are using your big Al's coupon in Tesco's and spend more than €5, dont forget to use the voucher in the Price news magazine or on flyers in the store for €1 off a €5 spend on Frozen food.

    2 bags of Goujons x 2.99 each less 2 x €1 Big Al's Voucher, Less 1 x €1 Tesco Frozen Food Voucher = €2.98 for two bags which would cost €11.98 at regular (inflated) price.

    The Tesco vouchers expire on Sunday 29th July - so be quick.

    Tescos have Big als Quarter Pounder 4 packs reduced from 3.99 to 1.99 at the moment. They also have a €1 off coupon in their in store price news if you spend €5 on frozen food

    3 packs at €1.99 = €5.97
    less tesco coupon -€1
    less big als coupons -€3
    Works out at €1.97 for 12 100% Beef Quarter Pounders - or 16c a burger :D

    Good luck with it. If you are buying 9 packs you have the option of picking up 3 of the instore leaflets for that €1 off coupon. Just remember you can only use the instore coupon once per transaction. There is no limit on the amount of big als you can use per transaction provided you only redeem one per pack of big als. Happy saving!

    They showing up as 3.89 online... Wonder is it store specific?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 472 ✭✭smilerxxx


    Ok I'm back :-)

    The burgers marked at 1.99 were the special edition quarter pounders only 2 in them but I was happy with those.

    First round bought
    2* chicken goujons @ 2.99 used 2 vouchers and Tesco's e1 off total 2.98

    3* special edition burgers @ 1.99 used 3 vouchers and Tesco e1 off total 1.97

    2* chicken tenders @2 and 1*special edition burgers @1.99 used 3 vouchers and 1 Tesco e1 off total 1.99

    I did the transactions separately to make sure I went over the 5 EURO Tesco condition because I didn't know if they'd take more than one in a transaction.

    SO I think that was a total of 6.96 I was gobsmacked, so much so, I went and did it all again :-)

    Ps I also got my clearasil face wash normally 3.99 for 1.99 with the coupon on another thread

    well done smilerxxx.

    I hadn't been in-store myself but had spotted the quarter pounders on pg 11 of the price news http://www.tesco.ie/pricenews/
    It looks like they've used the wrong logo/name of product in the magazine as the weight is stated as 267g whereas the 4 quarter pounders are 454g.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 472 ✭✭smilerxxx


    Thank you,

    Ya I checked the weight so I knew it couldn't be the 400g one. Plus the special edition were the only ones with price reduction sales sticker.

    WE'll still get some food from the butchers for the party but this will definitely help bulk out the amount Thanks everyone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭ringleader


    I went to Tesco's in Lucan last night and got this deal. They had loads of the price news magazines at the entrance.

    The big al's burgers on special aren't the ones in the magazine - they're the special edition burgers, unfortunately.
