highdef wrote: » That is much more like a bargain - about €1.25 a can versus almost €1.80 in Supervalu! Funny thing is that I thought these promotions are no longer allowed under government regulations or is that just a "please don't have price promotions" ask by the government rather than something that is enforceable?

brandonviewer wrote: Thanks First up. I've been a regular booze cruiser for over twenty years and agree that in the main you should aim to spend a little more for the bulk of your purchases. At the lower to mid point of the market is where the greatest savings can be achieved. For example a bottle of Vina Sol will usually be over €2 cheaper than what you can buy it for here even when it is on special. If you are buying a good quantity from the wine caves in Roscoff or Cherbourg you should also be able to negotiate a healthy discount

Don't panic, deals on crates and slabs will be back. It might not be until March though (run up to Paddys Day)
