Not sure if it was already mentioned but better safe than sorry. 18 bottles of Corona for €15 in Tesco. Same price for 12 bottles so look around.

Finally secured a bottle of 3 swallows powers, absolutely fantastic

Not a bad drop. €32.46 in supervalu currently

Have you tried the West Cork single Malt, get it for under 30 in Dunnes. Very nice flavours.

Another very nice whiskey is the IIrishman Founders Reserve Whiskey, around same price as Powers 3 swallows around 40, but imo a better drop for the money. Expect their single malt would be even better, but not tried yet.

For cheap whiskey Powers gold label @ 20 in Centra

Just out of lidl in clonee. Plenty of both the 12x500 Guinness under €15 and the craft boxes everyone is wild about!

Hotblack Desiato · 28-11-2020 05:08PM

Picked some craft beer boxes up in Clondalkin, only a couple left on the shelf after me :eek::pac:

tennis12 · 28-11-2020 05:34PM

Lots of the craft beer boxes in lids Carrick On Suir. Slabs of carlsberg €20 too

adam240610 · 28-11-2020 05:58PM

There were none of the boxes in lidl Greystones around 1pm, probably space for 3 boxes on the shelf slot for them, pretty disappointing

The Sauvignon Blanc is quite nice but very hard to get as seems to be sold out in a lot of Lidl stores I go into.

dinneenp · 28-11-2020 07:02PM

Kahlua and milk like in The Big Lebowski.

Basq wrote: »

Cream and vodka..

big lebowski also used "half and half" creamer, not sure which was used most. Cream would be best, I would consider milk to be a "diet white russian".

I see wiki has a " an Anna Kournikova (named after the tennis player), made with skimmed milk (i.e. a "skinny" white Russian"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Russian_(cocktail)

Tia Maria is also 20 in tesco and some would think is a better quality liquer, of course subject to taste.
https://secure.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=257304458
valid until 22/12/2020

the kahlua is down to 19
SAVE 4.60 Was 23.60 Now 19.00
valid from 25/11/2020 until 22/12/2020
https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=255949777

they both show as 20%, I think tia maria used to be slightly stronger than kahlua. (I think one or both can go down to 18euro too)

Slabs of Guinness are 20 quid in Dunnes, Briarhill, Galway.

guinness are being utterly ripped apart on facebook in every post they put up, people complaining about these cans.

20 should be the max you have to pay from now on, and if availing of dunnes vouchers it might be worth it. You might just have to follow the advice on using it best. I still think beamish or murphys could cash in on this and turn some of the freakishly & illogically loyal guinness drinkers to turn to another dark side. I always find it utterly bizarre how many people are out there who consider themselves "guinness drinkers" but who might have only tried 1 or 2 other stouts in their entire life, and some would have had their minds made up before even tasting those "sorry mate, no guinness on tap, -oh I'll have a lager so!". Masterful conmen of marketing... Only Coca cola come close, and maybe heinz ketchup in 3rd

Guinness is more like the McDonalds of beer, it's even got a quality team to ensure the consistency in every pub. That's why I cringe every time I hear of, "great pint of Guinness here", "awful pints of Guinness here". It's probably the most consistent a beer you can get.

cadaliac · 29-11-2020 01:02AM

Fairweather Guinness Drinker myself so hopefully the widget returns soon. The pint I like but the cans are at best meh (to me).

In other news, Stella is 20 bucks in Lidl for 24 x 330 ml bottles and a bottle of baileys is still €10 there also.
Been that way for 2 weeks now.

Aldi

Tesco

Supervalu

I’m not buying those 470 ml cans. No chance. (Just thought I’d let you know in case you were wondering :-) )

Cloudio9 · 29-11-2020 09:17AM

Good deal on the litre bottle of Boyle’s gin. That’s the usual price for 700ml.

I made the same decision when they came out, I refuse to support the sneaky humps for pulling a stunt like this.

I see in the ads above that Aldi haven't detailed the size of the cans which is even more sneaky, at least the others have put it in the small print.

To be honest at 20 for 24 cans I'll probably yield and pick up a few Bulmers if they are in front of me, but hell will freeze over before I support Guinness with this hungry move.

I see they were selling glasses in Lidl yesterday, 7 euro for two and they had some other tat as well they were trying to charge premium prices for when they should be giving it away and be thankful if anyone would want it.

The Covid 19 is after landing them on their arse big time, I'm delighted, they have taken their customer base for granted for far too long.
