    I saw a flyer for Carry Out earlier.

    It advertises Carlsberg and Budweiser 500ml at 6 for €10 and Heineken 500ml at 8 for €10.99.

    All I can say is proceed with caution.

    This implies that everything on the right hand side of that graphic is €1.49 including both bottled Argus and canned Argus Strong. Will pop up to Lidl tomorrow and check!

    It says "from" 1.49.

    I really like the stout one, can't stand the IPA. However I mightn't be the best judge as I really like stout & can't stand IPA!

    Definitely give it a try at €30.
    Even if you don't like it you can "inflict" it on visitors at Christmas :)

    I really like IPAs and I just thought it was a bit bland. Not much taste to it at all.

    Jameson 70cl is €21 in SuperValu from 4th to 7th.
    Went to buy 2 bottles with a €7 off €40 real rewards voucher and it was marked up at €23 in-store.
    Queried this with check out operator and showed her the price on my phone.
    She called the store manager,who honoured the €21 price but reckons it's an error on the SuperValu website.
    I'm happy enough anyway with 2 bottles for €35 with the voucherðŸ˜

    I was in earlier and there were loads of slabs of guinness around, far more than usual, so I’d say it will be in it.

    By "crates", do you mean slabs/trays of 24x500ml cans?


    If so, do you know if Bulmers or Heineken will be included?

    Dunnes seem to think only print ads count! So as I'm looking at one...

    The deal is:
    * 24x500ml Beer - Guinness, Bud, Carlsberg
    * 1L Spirits - Smirnoff, Captain Morgans, Cork Dy Gin
    * 70cl Spirits - Jameson, Bombay Sapphire

    Runs 16-Oct to 31-Oct.

    They are also running the 25% back in points for any 6 bottles of wine.
    And €5 off selected premium gins such as Hendricks, Gunpowder.

    This offer is normally for infrequent shoppers that spend low amounts to tempt them into a full weekly shop
    Don’t be fooled by this just buy drink etc on offer, dunnes if far too expensive for the average weekly shop

    Instead of 50 by 2, we got 50 by 1 and 25 by 2 on a 100 Euro spend. I am curious to see if we spend only 75 will we get a 50 and a 25 voucher?

    jack daniels dipped to 20euro a few times last christmas.

    I am only running out of my christmas drink now. Cans of guinnes were working out around 65cent as they were 20euro a tray and then discounts on top.

    With minimum pricing a possibility I will be stockpiling vodka if I see good offers where I can use vouchers. They take up little space and do not go off and can be handy as last minute presents.

    no, they have that covered in the law. Reading the law I think there is the possibilty of selling bundles though, its a bit of a grey area. The big shopping chains might not want to be seen to be using loopholes to circumvent the idea of the law. But I reckon smart small offies will.

    e.g. people reckon that the likes of smirnoff will jack up the wholesale price, so they are above the minium price level, which is just under €21.

    But there is nothing to stop independent offies legitimately importing from other countries with lower wholesale prices. So I do not think this is too big a worry

    e.g. my local supervalu used to import 5% scottish market heineken and sell it cheaper than the irish market 4.3% stuff. Before stoli vodka was properly marketed here I used to get it cheaper than smirnoff in a local offie.

    So a smart offie might sell only a small selection beers & spirits and offer them with bundles of other products. e.g. I still think it will be legal to buy a bottle of whiskey which comes with a free glass in a box. So I reckon they can bundle it with other products, like a tub of chocolates or box of washing powder or something. It would ideally be some expensive item everybody uses which does not take up much space.

    People are totally used to buying in 24packs these days, word would get out to go to an offie, buy a tray and get your stuff thrown in. The offie might only sell in trays, or minimum 3 bottles of spirits, queues could be out the door if they got it right, and have huge turnover.

    The laws can be seen here https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/bills/bill/2015/120/

    I also picked up a bottle of Argus Gold 6%. It has a label added on the back saying "Microfiltered lager beer".
    Just drinking it now, very nice.
    If you go for the Bushmills don't leave without some.

    Mix and match means pick any 2 items that are included in the offer and don’t forget to use your shop and save voucher to save another tenner and you will get another voucher to go again so it’s a win win
