Haven't seen the logo on any Aldi Lidl Centra or Supervalu own brand stuff yet, In Aldi I've only seen it on special offer stuff, third party beer all seems to be old stock.
Thanks, thats my local Tesco so i assume all Tescos are charging this. Didn't keep the receipt but i was 100% charged for it as I remember checking the receipt when I bought it for this.
Shouldn't have been charged, it's over 3 litres. And there is no mention of the deposit on tesco online shopping compared with the 2 litre water bottles.

Tesco Slievenamon Irish Still Spring Water 5L - €1.45 €0.29/litre

Tesco Slievenamon Irish Still Spring Water 6 X 2 Litre - €3.10 €0.26/litre + €1.50 Deposit
I do a weekly shop most Fridays, most recent 29/02 and yet to be charged a deposit or see anyone at the RVM.
Which price rises have you seen? Picked up 15 Guinness cans for ~€24.97 the other day in Dunnes Stores, which to my knowledge is the minimum unit price so if anything it's come down since a few weeks ago
I've seen plenty of price rises, excluding deposit, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. What proof do you require in order to believe I'm not an AI system designed to take down the entire DRS?
Lots of examples documented by posters on this thread
As a former Pepsi addit.
Value pack (2x2L) has been removed.
Leaving only the single 2L bottle averaging around 3 euro - was always 2.50 at most and on offer most of the the Time around 1.50.
Yeah in fairness the supermarkets put prices up and down the whole time, not sure if you can really say the DRS is to blame
Come off it.
Multiple posters spotting increases on the beverages product lines at same time as the scheme rolls out, at a time of inflation easing.
Coke is one example where it is very obvious.
They ( the manufacturer) decided that they needed to keep the multi packs below €20
So they reduced the pack size of Coke zero from 24 to 18. And sneakily the price didn't reduce.
How are the retailers making a profit out of that?
U used my local supervalu machine this morning with a few beer cans from last nite. I didn't rinse them but there was a bucket type thing by the machine to shake any excess liquid into. I didn't bother with it and the cans went through just fine.
And plenty of examples of prices on applicable products coming down as well.
I'm sure you can list some examples so, and not of items of old stock being sold off pre logo rebranding.
Yes I saw the 18 pack in lidl yesterday for €9, I'm not familiar with usual prices of coke, is 50c/can good/bad?
Just from shopping yesterday, the pre-mentioned Guinness, saw Heineken as well also at MUP. All on deposit applicable 500ml cans
Coke as mentioned was €9 for an 18 pack. Fairly sure it was the same price when I bought a case before Christmas but open to correction
That's not a "coming down" in its RRP for the beers. Pre scheme it was periodically reduced down to MUP for bank holidays, rugby etc, that is just a continuation of it.
So what products in scope of the scheme have had their RRP reduced versus increased?
did they have a return logo? its probebly to shift non-logo stock.
miwadi was 3 for 3 euro, then 2 for 3 euro, then was entirely removed from the shelf for the first couple weeks the scheme went live feb 1st. Then only came back like a week ago now x2 for 4.50+50 cent deposit. What was once 2 for €3, is now 2 for €5, a price increase like that is'nt inflation, its stores taking advantage of the deposit return scheme. And outright gouging.
Also you may have missed this post here in the drs thread about it, https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121780997/#Comment_121780997 and https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121783212/#Comment_121783212 The other thread someone else linked here (supermarket increaases) has alot of examples too
Yes, it had the logo (and a barcode) so would be recent stock
As I say I seems prices of some things are going up and others down or stable, my main purchase of cans would be beer and I've noticed no difference in the last month. To be fair I do accept that booze is stupid priced already thanks to MUP so might not be the best comparison to make.
Supermarket brand juices seem to have no change in prices either
2 things i have to say, first being i have no knowledge on anything alcohol related or alcohol pricing, but as for other prices the prices all have increased on everything bearing the return logo, before the deposit is even taken into account.
Alot of aldi and lidl supermarket brand products have yet to even have the logo, probebly will by june 1st i'm guessing. but tesco's own brand bottled products already have the deposit. Sparkling water and the likes have increased before the deposit is even taking into account.
My point was they don't need to be washed like a previous poster complained about.
Pepsi Max is the same, the multipack is now 18 instead of 24.
Ordered a takeaway delivery from a well known app last night and was charged extra for the deposit returned scheme. Food arrived and the cans do not have the logo etc. They're not even the "new" shape but old from outside Ireland.
I assume they will be rejected by any machine I try to return them to?
type them into the barcode checker, it will tell you if they are valid or not.
also keep your receipt from the order, incase there's no deposit to reclaim on the can
Return CEO Foley will be on RTE Radio tomorrow morning - Claire Byrne hour. Opportunity to bomb him with questions and burn his ears.
In a centra over the past few days. Lucozade zero has been labelled 2 euro on the bottle for at least the last two years..label on the bottle is now 2.20. a ten percent increase. This is not the retailer's price. It's what on the bottle.
3 bottles of diet coke(2 litre bottles) were a fiver Dunne's online. Now it's two for a fiver.
They are just the ones o have noticed as they are the most regular I look at.
I'll tune in to listen. Be sure to bombard him with the price increases especially and be specific, sounds like it could be another euro changeover situation on the face of it
Tesco sparkling water is showing at 65c for a liter of the apple and elderflower flavoured stuff online, has it increased much?
Edit: just saw the regular 2L are 6 for €3.10, fairly sure Lidl are more expensive than that at about 60c/2L
I pick up litter in my local area some weekends, this weekend I got a few bob back on bottles and cans for my trouble. Happy days
these have gone up about 25/30 cent, before we ever add the 25 cent on it
