    Dunness are accepting "others" vouchers. They have ads on the TV or Radio saying it.

    Anyone have any luck using this voucher in Dunnes? Had a look on Dunnes' facebook and website and there was no mention of it. I haven't seen or heard the ads on the TV & radio.
    Off to do a weekly shop, would be much handier to do it it Dunnes!

    Are Dunnes now accepting all discount vouchers? like tesco?

    Dunnes are gone up-market, have a look at all the Waitrose products in their freezer sections!
    Tesco is kind-of superfluous to needs now- it has tried to appeal to everyone- and now aside from those who couldn't be bothered shopping elsewhere- it appeals to no-one.

    Waitrose? Does anyone care?

    I was in Dunnes in Limerick city centre today, I asked the lady at customer care if they were accepting other shops vouchers like what Tescos are doing. She said no.

    The OP got confused. Dunnes say they take all the spend and save coupons together - their own, only.

    They're actually waitrose........
    Its quite remarkable.
    Some of them are the test products that Superquinn had before Musgraves bought them out.
    Its only frozen goods though- none of the nice yummy fresh Waitrose ready meals (yet anyway). I know I'd happily pay a premium for them......


    Dunnes been selling Waitrose branded wines for about two years now. I hear good stuff but I have not tasted.

    Who would you want instead of Tesco if they announced the sale of the Irish division;

    A. Waitrose
    B. Sainsbury
    C. Morrison

    I actually thought Sainsbury would buy Superquinn.

    Asda. Asda. ASda. ASDA. ASDA......

    (I know this will bring on the Walmart comments)

    I'm an Asda fan. I always make it my business to go there (Enniskillen or Falls road are the two nearest for me) when I'm in the North. Or maybe I have been known to go to the North to go to Asda....

    Anyway, when rumours of Asda and Dunnes talks were abounding back in 2007(ish), I was delighted. But nothing materialised. Or did it? The offers in Dunnes are not unlike the lost leader offers in Asda (albeit at a lower price). Don't ask how I bother to know :-) but the Waitrose range is probably tied into this.

    About as much as the conversation re Tesco prices..but as they say "every little helps" :-)

    FYI - I was in Aldi last night ( with my €10 voucher ) and the fellow on the till said they will be a €10 off a €50 shop voucher in the Sunday Independent every Sunday between now and Christmas.

    Happy Days.

    We're spoilt with this.
    I predict a very intense battle for each grocery shop for the next six weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 853 ✭✭✭hillbloom


    I was in Tesco Ballinasloe last week & they hadn't a brown paper bag for drapery & toys. Just said they were ordered & didn't come in. This is very poor for such a big company. There was a lady ahead of me with loads of toys & drapery, what if she had kids in the car!! In my opinion they should be substituting with free plastic bags in this case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 283 ✭✭dm1979


    I know its way off topic, but tesco in the uk do kitchens and i've heard ALL ORDERS have been cancelled, even jobs they were half way through doing. Not looking good for them, is it.

    Not actually legal for them to hand them out for free.

    I think a lot of Tesco's core shoppers- are moving over the Dunnes.
    Dunnes are gone up-market, have a look at all the Waitrose products in their freezer sections!
    Tesco is kind-of superfluous to needs now- it has tried to appeal to everyone- and now aside from those who couldn't be bothered shopping elsewhere- it appeals to no-one.

    Not everyone has a Dunnes close, and personally I would never shop in Dunnes. I have never been in a position to have them local and never been a fan of them.

    I shop between Tesco and Aldi and Amazon subscribe and save. I never have to buy full price yoghurt, tesco always run special offers, it's the same for everything, I go online check all offers and make my lists accordingly. We get Sunday papers in work so I always get the vouchers again, use one in each store. Its all about shopping sensibly,

    Tesco usually work on a 67% mark up, but they go by the retailer RRP which can change on any other day. Depends on the suppliers and the particular contract they have.

    I used to have to go north regularly for work and would fill up in Tesco as it was a lot cheaper than down here, the likes of 1kg of rice Is 40p but 1.19 here, and baking flour is 3 times the price here, is mad Ted

    But their prices are Fubar when it comes to Deciphering the costs.

    My aldi has been closed for 2 weeks, finally opens tomorrow, ready to go with my voucher and browsing online to make my shopping list, also hoping to gab a bargain or 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 283 ✭✭dm1979


    Whats not?

    they have apparently fallen out with their suppliers, money issue I think, given the recent hole in their accounts I think some suppliers outside the grocery side of things might be starting to panic

    You make your lists accordingly but only shop in 2 places....doesn't really make sense.

    What do you not like about Dunness? You'll buy the same stuff at the same price (pretty much) so why would you never go there (if their was one local)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,417 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    These Aldi vouchers are gonna sort me right out until Christmas (and might use some alternate weeks in Tesco !)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 69 ✭✭momec


    May I ask a question please. When the €10 Sunday Indo voucher is used, does it show up as a deduction on your receipt?

    Growing up in 80's we had Dunnes st. Bernard which was as cheap and nasty as yellow pack, the days when own brand meant you could not eat it. My sisters worked in Dunnes, all I was thankful for was that my mum shopped in Superquinn,

    Its not somewhere I would chose to shop because of the poor quality, its personal opinion and I am glad of the fact that I have other stores closer,
