    Seems all the main retailers are doing 470 ml Guinness slabs for 24 now. No discernible difference in taste but the head isn’t as proud.

    Lidl doing 8 cans Beamish 500ml for 10. Grand for a change.

    Dunnes have 12 cans of Guinness 500 ml for €15.50 so €31 for 24.

    we should just all agree to never mention the 470ml cans again. and if someone does mention them, maybe the mods could fix it so that 470ml is automatically changed to MUCK.

    The only problem getting Beamish and Murphys is the price.
    I see a Lidl offer there but it's rare and usually stuck with 4 for €10. Same for Murphys, I only see 6 packs for e14ish.

    Im really liking the Murphys now, have had a few of them lately.
    Got 4 Beamish at the weekend and its probably more "tastful" than the other two.

    I find the beamish more bitter then the Guinness maybe it was just the can, haven't had a Murphy's in a can yet I know you can but a single can of kilkenny drought in supervalu cant see it anywhere else

    I'd say when the restrictions down here are reduced, there will be a lot of cars heading up from ROI especially as Christmas shopping will be starting and with a high EUR/GBP exchange rate.
    Traffic would also depend on any restrictions in NI at that time.

    It was mentioned as ending on 22nov so might not be one of their dodgy pulling the offer early tricks.

    The new date is right up to christmas day Special OfferSAVE 7.66 Was 20.66 Now 13.00valid from 23/11/2020 until 25/12/2020

    and I doubt it will stick to 13, I reckon it could go to 10 again and higher.

    They are also saying the quality street etc tubs of chocolates are all €3.33 until christmas eve, and I really doubt that will happen.

    recipes change around the world, so are the way calories are counted.

    330ml of rockshore is 73kcal

    but coors light in Ireland is showing as 36.1kcal per 100ml, so a 330ml bottle is 119kcal.

    The consumer exchange rate is €1.13/£1, absolutely no incentive to travel to save a few cent when there are so many deals locally

    O'Brien's are doing 5 bottles of Guinness Foreign Export for €10. Lovely stuff, a far bigger tastier drink than standard Guinness.

    Sainsburys offering 25% off wine if buying 6, bottle of Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc 75cl is £6.75/€7.63, buy 6 or more and it's €5.72.
    Tesco ROI have it for €10, reduced to €8.33 if buying 6 or more.
    So €5.92 against €8.33, nearly 50% dearer, that's a big difference.
    There are many other differences toys, electrical, booze and others.
    Some shops in Newry will also give you a much higher exchange rate and money will be tight for a lot of people this Christmas and every little bit will help.

    I'm all for shopping locally but not if it's going to cost a fortune to do so.
