    Yeah, it's just a pity there's no Asda in Newry to cop Tesco/Sainsburys on. They both know they can get away with offering nothing whereas Asda in the north run that offer all the time but it's not worth a trip to Belfast unless I'm going there anyway.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    Worth noting it's not just booze which sometimes has the Re-Turn logo up here as well, certain soft drinks will also have it. Handy if you are going through a lot of coca cola, tonic water etc.

    I used the scanner to check the Carlsberg that I bought in Jonesborough for Xmas (hardly touched as we all had the flu).

    None have the refund logo and all qualify!

    Heineken in NI is a different product with a different ABV to what's sold down here so those cans ain't gonna work. Same as with Carlsberg.

    Only caveat is if purchased in an independent offie, it might be 'Southern' Heineken/Carlsberg and then those cans will work.

    The flipside is the likes of Carling. The one product for the UK and ROI in the same cans with the same barcodes.
