8 cans of smithwicks 500ml cans 14 euro dunnes , always hovered around that price pre MUP . I invested in a pack today .
It's a pity theres no asda in newry. Looks like they do 30 440ml cans for 21pound regularly. Kilkeel store is tiny. Never been to the portadown one but presume that's where the good stuff is
No, they are loose on shop floor or fridge
I presume they're prepacked units of five bottles/cans to get around the ban on multi-buy offers?
OBriens still have the 5 for 10 on beer such as Spaten, Budvar, Utenos etc.. doesn't seem to be as big a selection from intro of MUP but still good in my opinion.
Also saw 10 X bottles of Corona for €12.95 in Tesco. I did get 18 bottles around Christmas for €15 In Tesco, but that was exceptional value.
Have 20 boxes of coors lights 20 bottle pack @ €18 a box and 20 boxes of Corona 12 bottle pack @ €15 a box. Mayo area. If anyone wants some before I return to shop.
Even though northern supermarkets may beat these prices there are still some substantial savings to be made, particularly if you like magners. Its half the price.
Can i ask what dispenser you use? Im interested in getting one.
Thanks for that! Not bulk buying at the moment! Someone gave me a lot of free beer recently, and I’m normally just buying blade kegs. I ring them up the previous day to make sure they have chilled kegs. If I was bulk buying I’d go to the trouble of going to Newry. I’m still trying to find San Miguel at a good price!
I go to McGeoughs which is 20 metres over the border and 16 minutes from my house in Blackrock in Louth. Blade kegs ( Moretti ) work out at €41 which has increased lately due to the strength of sterling. Heineken a bit cheaper, Puntigammer around the same as Moretti! I also bought a keg of Lagunitas IPA which was a bit more expensive but I had to lie down in a darkened room after drinking that! Dublin prices around €50 for Heineken!
You'd be better off tipping up to one of the supermarkets. Their prices aren't great to be honest.
Sainsburys have 30 cans of 440ml Heineken for €33:40.
36 cans of Coors Light for €38:40 and so on.
If your bulk buying you may as well do it right.
Any reccomendation on the Blade? Where's best to buy nowadays...
I remember trying to look it up and seems just going up North is best?
Price list!
Been there when McGeoughs don’t have blade kegs of Moretti in their cool room, they’re about a mile past McGeoughs into Jonesboro. They’re a bit more expensive for blade kegs, but not sure how they compare for anything else!
I see this crowd took out a full page ad in the Northside People this week, they are in Jonesborough...

Agreed - I ordered a slab of Holsten Pils and a slab of Paulaner Munich Helles. Worked out at €76 including delivery (so €1.60 per can). My order is currently with UPS in France , ETA Monday 🤞
It's the beer. But I'd rather order in the Krombacher or bitburger than pay 40 quid for a slab of heineken. Much superior taste.
Isn't that the same price as a slab or is it because you are ordering a beer that would be even more expensive here now?
I'm definitely interested - might get a few of the lads together and order a few bottles and cans up to the allowed amounts and see how it goes.
That bira Moretti is crap though. It's the s**t that is brewed in the UK and not imported from Italy. Horrible in comparison. The 660ml bottles of Moretti are usually imported.
you can add the virtual card to Google Pay as well.
Costcutters Clonshaugh cans of Bud, 1.75 and turborg 4 pack 5.50
You can sign up on the Tesco UK website using a UK or NI post code i.e old parcel motel one or look up a hotel or shop address and use that post code. Then they will email you a virtual clubcard. I then downloaded the stocard app. It's an app that lets you hold all your loyalty card details on it. All you have to click on add card in the app, pick Tesco as the company and instead of scanning the barcode on a card (because you don't have a physical card to scan) click on manual input on the bottom of the screen and key in the card number from the email. That will generate a bar code that you can scan from your phone when you are in the shop.
That's exactly the way I look at it now.
I suppose the war is over and we lost.
We have to do the best we can now with what we can get.
You could always console yourself with the thought that 12 bottles of beer would cost about €60-€65 in a pub.
Hi. Any simple way to get s tesco club card uk. Not techy minded 👍
Not a bad price I suppose for a decent beer in comparison to other prices on the go now , before MUP they were always around 12 for 15 euro anytime I was looking for them .
SuperValu had them 12 for 12 for a few days offer in the run up to Xmas .
Is this a deal now? Or just real life?
Birra Moretti 12 x 330ml bottles for €16 in Supervalu.
Had this before. Recommended.

There's no great offers on tesco.com, asda.co.uk and sainsburys.co.uk but as you say, it's a lean month. They usually have good offers on the usual bacardi, smirnoff etc.
