    No, but Parcel Motel do with which you'll risk getting stung with VAT if the package is discovered to contain alcohol. It has shipped just fine for me in the past but some posters on here have had their packages stopped by customs.

    1 litre bottles of Jameson with 2 whiskey glasses in a Ginger and Lime presentation box @ 30 each?

    Also- just an observation- you can use both of those vouchers on a 50 spend- you don't need to spend 60- its the gross spend before the application of vouchers........... I got a 100 Euro spend down to 17 Euro and pence today using vouchers. Felt like I had robbed the place on my way out the door.........

    Anyone in the border areas- Sainsburys have a 25% off 6 bottles or more on a selection of wines (incl. Prosecco) this weekend (until the 28th).
    Customer quotas do apply (and they are policing it) @ 36 bottles max per customer.

    Are you sure it was a 1 litre? The 70cl set is priced at €30 at Supervalu.
    https://shop.supervalu.ie/shopping/wine-beer-spirits-irish-whiskey-jameson-glass-pack-70-centilitre-/p-1056544000

    Need to get a whiskey present for someone and have Dunnes voucher so a box set would be ideal.

    I didn't buy one- I thought it was the 1litre bottle- I could be wrong- the presentation case is definitely the same- so I suspect you could very well be correct- if so- my bad- sorry- though with the vouchers, it is still a rather good offer..........

    Sorry if I misled.

    I think honour demands you make up the 300ml difference :)
    NO worries it's still a good set. Hmm, something to ponder whether to go for this or something with an age statement in a gift box.

    Are you sure about that? Visa Offers is cashback on a spend, and I think based off payments tracked to a retailer, so if you use a voucher to bring below €50 and only pay that on the debit card, then I'd be a little surprised if it qualified?

    Both vouchers can be used on a €60 spend
    €50 spend will not work

    The Jameson Whiskey Makers Series are currently reduced from €70 to €60 in Dunnes. Now I don't know how good a deal this is as I haven't tried any of them yet but the last two weeks I've had €20 off €90 in spend & save vouchers so with some groceries I've picked up both the Blender's Dog and Coopers Cruze to hopefully enjoy over the upcoming festive season.

    Haven't tried them but they appear to me to have all the hallmarks of a massively overpriced marketing wheeze for the gullible.
    I'd rather have a proper premium whiskey like Green/Yellow Spot or Writers Tears any day.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Judging by the reviews I've read, I'm quite hopeful they're at least worth the €46.66 I paid, if not their RRP of €70. But of course, the truth can only be found in the actual tasting!

    Wonder if it’s drinkable. The excise and vat alone would be more than 3.66.

    I put it in bargain alerts because it's a wine I would happily pay full price for.

    Having said that I'm far from a wine expert but check out the reviews online and then if you're still unsure shur all you've got to lose is 3 euro and 66 cents and you will know for sure then.

    Its regular price is €5.49, making it one of Lidl's cheapest wines. Having said that, in my experience unlike other supermarkets, even the cheapest wines from Lidl (and Aldi) are perfectly drinkable.

    The Merlot is a bit light, throw in a splash of cheap port if you want to give it some more backbone.

    Just to warn everyone, Tesco have stickers on their tills now saying that they no longer accept competitor coupons as their prices are already so low. Haven't seen this mentioned before so it seems like a new development...
