Hi Lucena....
sorry for the late reply... but i was just in there ( Tesco) a short while ago and they had none and the shelf label was gone as well ...

I suspect they were just clearing stock last week.

Franziskaner Weissbier 4 for 5 Euro in Lidl until Sunday.

Lucena · 27-05-2015 09:51AM

I assume it's just the 'normal' Weissbier and not the dunkel?

Had the dunkel many moons ago, I remember paying something like two pounds for a bottle. Twas lovely stuff though!

Is this offer definitely on everywhere? I can't find anything on their website.

Seems to be rarely advertised, just saw the label by the bottles when passing. Box 12 for 15 Euro...Yum

My local Tesco has Johnie Walker Black retailing at 26 euro. That's down from 48.49 euro regular price. Pretty amazing deal. I'm in Galway. I presume it's the same elsewhere in the country.

It is officially; and til mid June. My local branch however had no bottles and had removed the shelf edge label! Suspect the manager isn't willing to sell at that price.

Or just all snapped up by one person, who could be a publican or own an offie. I know the owner of a bar near me gets his heineken in centra, which is all above board.

Or staff might have snapped it up themselves. Its not like it takes up much room or has a best before date.

They would usually leave the SEL on in those occasions. In this case they've removed it and widened the Chivas Regal to four bottles wide.

L1011 · 28-05-2015 01:06PM

Lucan has some. Less than it had though...

Works out a 22.23 if bought in twos with a Sunday world voucher (including the cost of the paper). Not counting the 1.50 or so likely value of the fuel voucher and 52c in points.

The manager has no autonomy in this situation to decide not to sell something based on it's price. That's a decision that has nothing to do with them. It's been decided for him/her.

The way it usually works with these offers is that supply is limited. The store I was referring to only got in a single case of a few bottles last night. It mightn't get any at all tonight. Some stores may simply never get any for the duration of the deal. There's a luck of the draw element to it all.

The store with the missing SEL could be one of the unfortunates. So they've probably removed the SEL for the time being.

Keep an eye out!

L1011 · 28-05-2015 05:16PM

Its a large store that sells it year-round though along with the other, limited, premium scotches. Just found it very, very odd.

MonkstownHoop · 28-05-2015 08:51PM

O'Briens have their 6 for 5 craft offer on again, not sure if its all stores either but Ballybrack store were giving away nice O'Haras glasses with every 4 O'Haras bought aswell.

Lucena · 28-05-2015 09:16PM

@MonkstownHoop

Is it 6 for the price of 5, or 6 for a fiver?

Thanks for this, just picked up a bottle. Ever since I've heard that the late Christopher Hitchens had JWB as his "don't leave home without it" travel companion I've been curious to try it. Not €48 curious however, so this is a good chance to see what the fuss is about. While I'm quite fond of single malt scotch the only blends I've tried would be the likes of Teachers & The Famous Grouse, neither of which I liked. I assume JWB will be a step up from those.

Sometimes they forget to put the offer price out, if you had gone to the till chances are you'd have got the discount.

I got this deal on Wednesday and I saw that it went on until June 16th

Then this evening, I was in the Tesco offie section and plenty of black label bottles left - but no SEL
Price is gone back up to €48

I thought maybe be it was just a store specific thing
But when I checked the Tesco 15mins up the road same thing back to €48

Can they do this and why ?

The price has returned to €48.49 on their website now too.

L1011 · 01-06-2015 09:23PM

At best you could object to false advertising, I guess. They're not telling anyone its the offer price now, though.

It could be the case that they realised there was a catastrophically expensive typo. 36 has been the offer price since the last duty hike.

I had intended to grab two more with the Lidl voucher from the papers this weekend but at least I got some at the offer price.

EagererBeaver · 02-06-2015 06:00PM

Nah, contract law pretty clear on it. Display of price doors not constitute a legal offer, therefore not bound to honour of actually a mistake.

As for false advertising, not really either. They advertised it for 26e and sold it for that. They've obviously simply decided to end the offer early, which they're perfectly entitled to do so.

5 lamps lager 6 for €10 obriens website

fret_wimp2 · 18-06-2015 06:28PM
