    As you say, stock up now!

    Yes and with the Guinness cans now the same physical size as normal 500ml cans it's much easier to stack them with other cans when building a wall of beer, no need to have single rows of Guinness crates in your stockpile, lol.

    Not sure if the use of spend & save vouchers will be no more as they don't seem to be covered in the legislation but multi-bottle wine offers like six for €40 or €50 will definitely be banned from 11th January next.

    I also did not think the 10 off 50 vouchers were included but its a bit vague, it could be a "similar benefit"
    the award, whether directly or indirectly, of bonus points, loyalty card points, or any similar benefit,
    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2020/si/4/made/en/print

    They can certainly still have deals, like a pick & mix of 6 bottles for €40, as long as those bottles are not available for sale individually. There could be other ways around it, like if the bottle was the same wine but a different barcode is it legally a different bottle? They could overlabel bottles themselves to do this -though it would look bad in the press.

    Guinness are allowed to list their alcohol as 4.1% even if its the regular 4.2% (as there is an allowable tolerance), so that would be a different product.

    Discounted prices must last for 3+ days.

    So people expect that there will be better deals next week before BHW.

    Especially looking at Guinness cans preferably 500 ml

    Yeah, there are definitely legal workarounds but I don't think the major supermarkets will do anything that goes against the spirit of the legislation for fear of the bad press.

    Are the slabs currently these prices in SuperValu ? Can't see it on their website. Presume (hope!) the Guinness cans are 500ml too ?

    i've found the more you spend with them...... they don't bother to send you any of these vouchers.

    I spend a lot less nowadays in Tesco and 2 days ago got 6 vouchers in the post, each for €12 off a €60 shop, one a week for the next 6 weeks.
    Will use for booze only.

    Tanqueray 10 in Dunnes reduced to ~€40.

    Good price for a good gin with a voucher, not so much without.


  • Registered Users Posts: 402 ✭✭rogieop

    Method & Madness gin is €35 in Dunnes at the moment which is an excellent price, especially if you have a voucher too.

    How do people feel about buying alcohol only in the supermarket trolley, this afternoon only for the mask I was feeling like Fred West going through B&Q with patio slabs.
