    "I drank a tray once, and I was brand new next day'

    Pint of water does the trick. Before bed and a pint by the bed..

    A tray of Molson is akin to 24 cans of water before bedtime anyway.

    Any places doing slabs of Carling ??.

    Sorry if I've missed it, but are Dunnes doing the usual 2 for 50 on litres of spirits and slabs for the bank holiday?

    tesco are 4 for a fiver, so a tray for €30. I expect they will have the cases on offer within the next week. They are always going on offer, but never much stock.

    The 4 for 5 packs look almost identical to the regular cans, so be careful what you pick up as they can scan differently. I noticed when I got home last time that I picked up 5 regular 4 packs and 1 promotional one, but as I had done the self scanning trolley thing they did not pick it up, they have in the past though.

    Any cans of mixers on sale? Tesco had 4x200ml poachers for €2 a few weeks back which was very good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭RayCon


    Perlenbacher XXL (8 pack of 500ml bottles) €7.49 - back in Lidl this week


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 904 ✭✭✭Blaze420


    Anybody know if Lidl have the Argus Strong back in stock yet? (7.2%) I wanted to go for a look but the queues in the local Lidl here are ridiculous most hours of the day.

    Excellent deal. I really like this beer. There is also the small bottle version which is a lager

    That's a great price, alright.....I get tonic from Amazon in bulk, normally. 24 x 200ml bottles of Fever tree can be had for around £24stg if you keep an eye out. Same with double dutch, which can be got for cheaper again.

    Never tried poacher's well, had to google it. Their site seems to be just a placeholder, I might tweet them to see if you can buy it directly from them.

    Not yesterday they weren't- and also none of the 25% off 6 or more bottles of wine offer that they usually do either........

    There are very few specials running in Dunnes (or elsewhere) in comparison to normal times- I guess their costbase has shot up- and they're saving money by not running offers (other than their 10-off-50 offer- which is ongoing).

    Lidl had it for €25 couple of days ago. Not been in since.

    Do you happen to know if they are in store now? I don’t fancy heading there and queueing for ages only to find they are not there.

    Thanks

    Thanks! Saves me a trip over! Pitty no offers, thought that there would be with the bank holiday this wkend but I guess their booze sales have sky rocketed the last few weeks!

    Think they normally do their offers on a Tuesday? Maybe given the mayhem, they might put up some offer later in the week? I'm pulling at straws. I'd love 25% back off wine- I have my eye on a few nice Pinot Grigios for when they're on special, the regular price is just too damn high.

    Or ring the store and ask.

    Dunnes was clean out of guinness slabs this afternoon
    what are the chances that they will replenish the stock if i head up tomorrow?

    I got some in Clonee earlier ..... but my local in Celbridge didn't have them out on the floor yet so I guess it depends on the store.

    Usually it's Thursday in the papers the offers are displayed, we are in a bit of an unknown now but I'd expect whatever deals are going to be on to be starting tomorrow.

    Thank you, got the double dutch. Much prefer the 200ml bottle than the 150ml cans. Will keep an eye out for fever tree.

    The strength, they dilute it down to 4.3% for the Irish market to match "irish tastes".

    Well they can fûck right off with their overpriced pisswater. The beer I've just opened is 10.5%* :)

    They've always tried to market it here as an expensive premium product when in reality it's anything but. It was great when Wetherspoons here told them (and Guinness) where to go.


    * Gulden Draak 9000, 4x330mL is €9.99 in Lidl so grab 'em while you can!

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    Apparently they stopped a brewing contract last November in UK and Ireland. Their owner Asahi has withdrawn Grolsch from these 2 markets. Very disappointing news to discover.

    So we're no longer getting UK brewed under licence shyte, no loss really.

    Sickened that Staropramen is now BUL in the UK, it's shyte. Stay away from the 660mL bottles, and examine the labels of the 500mL bottles very closely. Quick and easy way to ruin a respected brand. Fcuk these mega-brewing conglomerates anyway.

    Really nice. Get the 4 660ml for a tender in Tesco.

    Make sure they're not BUL-shyt
