    No. Anti-singleton so it is.

    Works a charm. Keeps me coming back. Getting better at angling the weeks shop towards the "50 exactly" mark. If just short, grab more loo roll. It will get used at some stage.

    Used to be a Dunnes regular but they are so expensive that even with 20% off its still cheaper to go to Lidl

    Can't agree with that. It all depends on what you're buying, especially whether branded or not.

    You won't get six litres of milk in Lidl for four euro!

    It's particularly good when there's a decent booze deal to use in conjunction with a voucher like the current 25% back on six or more bottles of wine!

    1kg of Siucra caster sugar in Charlestown for €1 today. That's very good value

    2kg for 1.50 in Dealz if there's one near. Sucrose is sucrose; one of the things where brand is completely irrelevant. Suicra is made in Germany now.

    Price has definitely dropped as it used to be 1.5KG for 1.50 which is the same price as the brand in Dunnes now.

    Shop and save is great, prices seem on par with Tesco and stock up on offers. Cute move by dunnes. I find most people have shops way outside limits e.g. 80 with tenner off used

    Totally agree that brand is irrelevant I was just specifiying what sugar it was. Iceland are also selling 2 x 1kg packs of sugar for €2.... ;)

    Beetroot sugar?? I would definitely say there would be a difference, for starters it would catch your eye cos it would be purple and I can't imagine what it would taste like :D

    sugar is made from boot beet and cane. The beet sugar factory was in Tuam when I was growing up so we in Ireland would have been brought up on sugar made from beet. I don't know if there is a difference in taste between beet and cane.

    FFS, start a new thread rather than derailing this one.

    Yes, but not for the same products. I like Avonmore Milk, Persil and Comfort, Onken yogurt, Walkers Spicy Nuts, and a number of other branded items that I cannot buy in Lidl. So I do the big shop in Dunnes and get/use the vouchers, some weeks €150, some weeks €100 (usually includes wine, f&v, bakery items, etc...)

    And I am perfectly happy with Lidl for salami, loo roll, brown bread, pancakes, olives, sliced beetroot, potato cakes, cleaning products and nappies! Prob spend €60 there every other week.

    Dunnes have finally beaten Tesco into third place, now within spitting distance of toppling Supervalu

    Will they ever introduce online grocery shopping and delivery?

    I"d love them to just so I could check their prices online. Rubbish website as is.

    Dunnes now has the largest share of the grocery market in ROI, with 22.6% to 22.4% for SuperValu and 21.4% for Tesco.

    Shop & Save is doing the business and long may it continue!

    Spotted this in St Stephen Green: anybody knows if it is valid for every store?

    Spotted that too passing George's St a fortnight ago but then forgot all about it.

    All mention in adverts, on their website and on signs in my local stores only mention €10 off €50 so it must be specific to a couple of 'convenience' stores?

    We got a couple of those vouchers in Dunnes recently, in large stores.

    Looking at the photo posted, the just-about-legible small print at the bottom says the €5 vouchers are issued in participating stores only and then lists these stores (can't make all these out).

    Definitely includes Georges Street- got one during the week, which I redeemed in Maynooth this evening.
    Re: Maynooth- spent 141 on shopping- got 3 * 10 Euro off when you spend 50 coupons/vouchers, not two (and 25 quid off from 3 pre-existing vouchers). I think they have loosened up the qualifying criteria for the vouchers a little.
