Dunnes chicken roll rip-off

Lifelike

So I went into Dunnes Stores on St. Stephen's Green earlier to get my usual €2.29 chicken fillet roll for lunch, but was stopped in my tracks when I discovered that they have increased the price to €3.85 :eek: I then head over to the pre-packed sandwiches section where it turns out they have also increased the price of the sandwich meal deal from €3 to €3.50! A bit odd that these price increases come a few weeks after they decided to stop displaying the prices of most of their hot counter deli items.

Needless to say I'll be taking my custom elsewhere from now on :mad:

F*ckin' hell man, you love your sandwiches.

Shocking OP, maybe you should buy your chicken roll somewhere else!

The position of Dunnes in this matter has become untenable.

Well I don't get one every day, but breaking out once or twice a week can't hurt

Thanks for that consumer update OP and now for the weather.

If this doesn't send Irish people rioting into the street then nothing else will!

I bought what I thought was a hot dog yesterday in Dunnes.

I'm not that stupid to not only understand that it's processed meat in them, but hello.......... Not a mention of dogs in the ingredients.

Do ye not all see? They have to make back the money they lost when selling that cheap veg before Christmas. Crazy fools, I warned ye all constantly that this would happen, told everyone I came across, wrote to the Irish Times about it as well.
By warning I actually mean I said absolutely nothing because I couldn't give a toss but the point still stands!!!

Chicken rolls made from male chickens should be known as Cock rolls.

All very flippant here I must say. The opening poster is correct, that's an extortionate price increase in one go for the exact same product.

No! Your face is an extortionate price increase in one go for the exact same product.

Are you sure they weren't undercharging you by mistake or it was a special deal for awhile? €2.29 for a chicken roll is awful cheap. I usually pay around €4.

Sir Arthur Daley

The OP must have been getting it as a student rate.

Chicken rolls are 1.99 in longish and a lot of centras and usually 2.50 in the rest. In and around 4 in most spars. It is an awful lot for the price to go up in one day. Anyway vote with your feet. I wouldn't be inclined to spend 3.85 on a chicken roll unless i was in a a hurry and couldn't be bothered going to londis.

True. And it's not like there's even a choice. If we didn't have that crazy "you have to carry a chicken roll" Law, people would be able to escape this tyranny. It's a disgrace. Almost a whole Euron! Some Corporations will stop at nothing.

Edit. OMG. Almost €2 eurons. Jasus, that is a bit of a hike, in fairness. You sure OP?

Might not be chicken at all in that roll ............get your local Chinese Chef to test it for you.

It was advertised in their lunch deals, but it has been €2.29 for about the past 2 years and certainly isn't a student offer

Absoluvely

Griffin's Londis at the Stephen's Green end of Grafton Street is doing €2 chicken fillet rolls with lettuce, red onion and tomato. "Back by popular demand" apparently. They're not very nice.

Dunnes increased their Meal Deal price to €3.50 from €3 because Tesco did the same with their Meal Deal few weeks ago.

What I'd recommend is taking a trip down to the other end of Grafton Street and picking up a lovely chicken fillet roll with fresh bread and three fillings (including Mozzarella) from Maguires for €2.75 if you pretend you're a student.

Is everyone in Dublin stone mad for chicken?

Watch Food Inc. You may rethink the meat you eat and where you buy it.

This may be a big ask but how about making your own sandwiches...

mikemac1

Burn the shop down OP

It's the only solution

cloud493

But in most other places you can get chicken roll and a few wings for 3 quid now.

That's the American food processing system. That said I have no idea where the chicken comes from.

Anyway Im saving over 200 euro a month since I started bringing in my lunch. More options and better quality.

But the only real time a lot of people have is the night before and then there's the whole "What will I have" and then you have to fridge them and they get soggy and if you put Tomatoe in there...... well then you've got epic soggy sambos

sillyoulfool

Alan Shatter has issued a statement saying that this matter was only brought to his attention last night and a leading lawyer will be appointed to investigate it:D:D:D:D

Use seperate lunch boxes and put it together at work. Salads or a thermos for hot food.

jester77

But you would have gotten extra valueclub points :eek:

mad muffin

I shan't shop at Dunnes any more. Absofûckinglutley outrageous! :mad:

WellThen?

It's a great time to be alive for sandwiches. Forget the horrible white bread roll with processed chicken. Get a lovely monster sandwich. Green Bench for example.

Where did this meme that chicken rolls are basically molten lead mixed with toxic waste and asbestos come from? Its chicken, bread and a breadcrumb coating... they're a little high in salt, there's healthier things you could eat, probably shouldn't eat nothing but chicken rolls four times a day everyday, sure... but Jesus, the way some people go on is unreal sometimes.

Not directed specifically at your post whippet, just this whole hysterical food phobia that seems to be becoming more prevalent.
"Bread is cake, people!!! Wheat is poison!!! Carbs raped my mother! The food pyramid was built by Hitler!"

****e off you crazy dull goons.

God I love Wednesdays.
