Was in Lidl yesterday and they had a limited stock of Carling.

24x500ml 4% €20.

It is in tesco 24 for 24 and as usual very limited stock. I have never seen cases of it, you have to get 6 4packs and there is usually only 1 lot of 24 on display, i.e. under 48cans on the shelf

They also have similar looking 4 packs but they are not in the offer and are a fiver.

Any guinness deals ?Or will have to wait for a new promotion cycle

Very little booze bargains in the supermarkets at the moment as it's not like they have to encourage people to come in buying groceries. Guinness slab in Dunnes today @ €32. Feels like an eternity since you could buy 2 slabs for €35 back in December.

Down to my last 72 cans here.

Macardles stock running low in Cork yet piles of Smithwicks.
I hope people weren’t reading this thread last week.

I walked past a pub yesterday afternoon and they were offloading about 30 cases of Sol on to a pallet to be placed in the back of a truck. Got me thinking with sell by dates and stock potentially sitting around idle for months that to get cashflow going the publicans would prefer to offload them while the pubs here are all closed there is no licenced premises market for them.

Will the unsold beer now be put on the open market at a reduced price?

I saw somewhere that Diageo and Heineken were taking back all stock and crediting accounts.

Wouldn't be surprised if some of the stock ends up in off licences as job lots.

Something to watch out for.

They won't be pouring pallets of beer down the drain anyway, that's for sure.

To the best of my knowledge, they can in fact do this and get remission of the duty previously paid, which would account for the vast majority of the value involved.

Seriously, though, you need 70%. alcohol to kill it.

I know a lad, made a still.
He's going to use Lidl 37.5% vodka, and concentrate it down to 70% to make hand sanitizer.

Strange days.

You can easily get hand sanitizers on ebay why waste vodka.

Paid about £26 for 2 300ml bottles. I know a bit expensive but at least I have it.

Back to Booze: Jameson 75cl - €25 Tesco.

If it was a supermarket its because they are cutting the range available to ease the pressure in the warehouses at the moment. Lots of craft beers and slower selling beers wines and spirits are being temporarily blocked and will only be sporadically available if at all.

Jameson Crested €29 in Dunnes. With a tenner off €50 voucher you can have 2 for €48 or €24 each.

As the old folk used to say "you'll see a hard day yet"

Lidl have a Chianti Riserva DOCG down from €8.99 to €5 .99 March 26th to April 1st.

Do we think dunnes might bring back the 25% off 6 bottles of wine for Easter?

I don't know. Today , I got 2 euros off 6 bottles (plus the usual 10/50 voucher discount). There was no sign about a discount (that I saw).

They did have slab of BUD for 30 and Guinness for 32 (which reduces by 20% with 10/50 Vouchers).

Have you seen it on shelves? My local LIDL in D3 seems so swamped with restocking the basics they seem to have forgotten about the wine of the week... As th ad had given me a thirst for Chianti (yes I know we're all imagining Hannibal Lector right now) I picked ip the basic Chianti DOCG for €6.99.

No sorry if I gave you a bum steer but I'm only shopping once a week at the moment.
I was going by the website.
I hope you enjoy the basic anyway. It's pretty good and the Spanish economy needs all the sales they can get .

There was an offer on Rockshore that was suppose to last till April 14th.
I'd added some into my basket on Tesco online but the offer seems to have been taken down now.
Will they honour this deal still?
I've sent an email with the screenshot but no reply

Is your delivery date beyond the offer date maybe?

No they wont. Tesco chop and change offers at will.

Strikes me as tactic, you see offer for 7 days, off you go to shop and pick up the item, oblivious to the fact its no longer on offer.

Or if you do cop it you are already in the shop so wontgo anywhere else.

No it was for the 3rd of April and the offer was to the 14th.

Tesco don’t chop and change the offers. All offers have a start date and an end date. If you order online and the delivery slot is past the offers end date then you don’t get the offer. Like wise if you order an item that’s full price but in the delivery date there’s a half price offer, then you’re charged half price.

Here’s a tip though if you’re in store. Look at the price label. The special offer price labels are yellow and white. At the bottom they have an offer end date. But it’s written backwards so 200325 is 25/03/2020

That means the offer will still be on for all of trade on 25th but new price will start on 26th.
By law they can’t have an ‘always on offer’ price as that then has to be the new price. Products have to have a certain amount of time at full RRP in order for a special to be special.

Some times an offer will stop prior to it’s official end date but it’s most definitely an exception rather than a rule. Typically an availability issue or an error correction.

Not sure given current events is it moral to list cheap beer, if it's not send me to the gallows.

Tesco
Corona 18x330ml €20 :pac:
Budweiser/Bulmbers+Light/Carlsberg/Coors/Guinness/Heineken/Molson/Stella 24x500ml €30 (think this is current cheapest price for crates)

They do it quite a bit, I have numerous posts about it, in this thread and other threads for food, I often warn people to snap stuff up and do not rely on dates.

One happened just today, and if you check google cache is shows it. I was holding off going to the shops until I had a big spend and my food had run low. They had loads of beer on offer for €30 for 24 cans, heineken, guinness etc.

The offer has been pulled 2 weeks early

https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=250640585

google cache shows it was there yesterday

That date is 25th march, some of the other cans do not have as up to date a record history.

I bought 24 cans of Heineken for €30 in Tesco today.
I had a €15 off €70 voucher so together with some groceries it was good value.

I just emailed a friend about it, who also said he got heineken today for 30

told him it could be pulled from the online offers to discourage people from ordering for delivery, they have ads on radio now saying to visit the shop if you can, and leave slots open for people who really need it. People reckon they make a loss on deliveries, and the old people using it right now are getting free delivery.

Smirnoff/morgans/gordons are €27 for 1L, not brilliant but works out €18.90 per 700ml

dubstepper · 02-04-2020 2:42pm

You'd think that the supermarkets wouldn't be bothered doing many offers at the moment. Everyone drinking at home pushing up demand. I have noticed Heineken gone from shelves at various times in my local places.
