    Cronin's cider is lovely- not as sweet as Bulmers or Orchard Thieves aswell- which is a positive.
    Rare enough that you find it though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,625 ✭✭✭✭BaZmO*


    The nicest Irish Cider on the market imo is Double L by Llewellyn’s. Unfortunately you will never see it listed in this thread as it doesn’t come cheap.

    That’s the Kerry stuff isn’t it
    Local pub stocked it and they got a case for free, most of it went back unsold
    Hard to move people from bulmers

    Without knowing anything about it- if I saw that in a pub I’d assume it was Welsh

    Tried it once, wasn't great to be honest plus it was over 6 euro for a 500ml bottle.

    Stag was a good old thirst quencher back in the day.

    Are you logged in on either of the devices?
    Maybe you are seeing it as out of stock if you are logged in so it's reading the stock for a particular store.

    If it’s a bargain in Jonesboro it’s either counterfeit or stolen.

    Not sure but app has it 24 for €24.

    If I was a betting man I would hold off purchase until Thursday/Friday, there's bound to be good deals on crates for Electric Picnic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    Tesco also has Grolsh at 24 cans for €24 until next week, which is a stronger (and in my view far tastier) beer.

    And you can’t taste the difference ?
    Uk bulmers is a different company completely different taste and recipe
    The uk version that tastes the same as Irish bulmers is magners


    A few years back when the euro and pound were level I went to the north and stocked up on uk bulmers, bad mistake

    Good old Wikipedia explains it for me

    Bulmers cider is one of a number of brands owned by British cider maker H. P. Bulmer of Hereford. It is one of the biggest selling British bottled cider brands in the UK, with a number of variants including Bulmers Original & Pear. It should not be confused with Bulmers Irish Cider, sold outside the Republic of Ireland as Magners.

    Ok sorry. Should have been clearer. This is Magners.

    Dunnes Stores
    25% Back on all Wine, Champagne & Prosecco in Valueclub points when you purchase 6 bottles or more
    This promotion is in store from Wednesday 29th August 2018 until Monday 24th September 2018 inclusive.

    PS I thought that I read until 03/09/2018 in store yesterday?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,895 ✭✭✭Poor_old_gill


    Dunnes offers never really represent great value in my eyes as they are nearly always overpriced in the first place.
    With the 10er off 50 quid- you are just about breaking par on the value elsewhere- and that only if you spend more or less exactly 50, if you spend more then the divide in value grows.

    2 Slabs of mix and match cans for €50 is an example of a great offer and there have been many more and using the shop and save voucher is an added bonus.
    Last week I mixed drink and some random food nonsense that wife said we needed (down with that sort of thing) total was €92 and it cost me €72
    €20 saved

    You'll get fleeced in Dunnes if you're an idiot and buy all your shopping there. If you're on top of what your regular grocery items cost in the various supermarkets, you can actually do very well in Dunnes as they regularly run decent offers on many items.

    I agree, I go mainly for the offers on booze and graze the food offers, tried normal shopping there and got torn a new one

    Anyway back on topic

    Bulmers 12 cans for €18 SuperValu
    Same in dunnes for €16
    Spar and centra 8 cans for €13

    I'd be very interested if you can beat 45% off wine.

    It’s four for €10 on www.tesco.ie so it’s not a nationwide price reduction but a store specific price reduction
    Had a look in my local Tesco earlier and it’s not reduced to the price you have taken a photo of.

    Thanks , for me also it's scanned 4 for 10, but if you scan single it's coming 1.55 that's why they scanned 1 + 3 :)

    Urweisse bottles were 3.25/4 for 10 on shelf edge in Roselawn today, but took a bottle to the price check and scanned it at 1.55, so picked up 3 myself (couldn't be arsed going through the correction of a 4 for 10 mis-scan, or doing 2 lots). Paid 1.55 a bottle at the till too. So may be in other stores and worth checking if there's a scan machine in store, as given the SEL is for the higher price you likely won't be able to argue at the till.

    Tesco tills are intelligent enough that they won't apply a multi-buy offer (like four for €10) if the items' individual prices would add up to less. So no need to only buy three at a time etc!

    From my experience earlier in the year when there was lots of discounted beer in Tesco, I hit several stores over several weeks and, as I expected, any relevant multi-buy offers were never applied as the individual prices added-up worked out much cheaper.

    I was buying box loads so wasn't going to be putting them through the till three-at-a-time!
