Well gone lad. Cheapest now is 25 in dunnes dropped to 20 if you have vouchers (if you buy 2)

Interesting how you assumed I was a man. Plenty where I live. Works out ~ 81c per can. Excellent value. It must be a loss leader at this price?

Apologies For the assumption. Which store is still carrying plenty of stock please?

Interesting that Yyhhuuu assumed that the use of the word "lad" implied that you are male!

I wouldn't apologise. Everyone is either male or female, it's a genetic thing. It's more a shame that someone would bring up a gender topic because you said "lad" but made no reference at all as to whether it was male or female orientated. In fact, it would seem that it was however Yyhhuuu who has decided that for itself that it is a "gender targeted" thing and has attempted to create some sort of agenda!

On the other hand, Yyhhuuu may be just taking the pi$$, in which case all is good in the world and we can all live a little bit better together....social distancing of course!

I bought a pack in Cornel's Court yesterday, but priced at €16.xx (not sure of the cents) but had a coupon that reduced by €5, so very pleased.

(Real 500 ml with widget).

12 x 500ml cans in Lidl for €17.(67cent I think) if that’s any use

They have them in Center for 15, Budwiser, Carlsberg and Bualmers as well, until the 28th.

The ALDI one far nicer imo

On a side note, On BBC2's "Eat more for Less" last year, in a blind test, a couple that drank 3 bottles of Moet a week, thought Lidl's Champagne was actually their usual Moet and said something like you can always tell quality even if it cost a little more.
The show had swapped the Moet for Lidl's Champagne and the couple couldn't tell the difference.

Where I live "lad" or "lads" only refers to a man or men. I personally would find it quite strange to see a woman addressed as "lad". I have been addressed as lad and found it quite endearing. I think there is an assumption that mostly men drink beer.

In fact the Cambridge English dictionary defines the plural "lads" refers to a group of men.

You are merely completely misconstruing what I said with phoney suggestions of my creating some sort of agenda.

Can I respectfully suggest you examine the Cambridge English dictionary's definition of the work "lads" to denote males.

On topic, could anybody kindly let me know if there are any beer deals in Tesco. Many thanks.

If you live in Cambridge, you might be correct in that 'lads' refers to young males. If you live in Ireland, particularly the West, 'lads' refers to young ones that hang around together - male or female - and not always 'young'.

'Ladeen' refers to young 'young ones', and that will not be in your Cambridge dictionary.

More beer and less talk.

Unless you bought food you dont like - the principal of saving the €5er on whiskey still applies.
So buy the whiskey!

That's interesting, I've been thinking of a Margherita night also, but always seemed expensive.
Must check Aldi and Lidl to see if they sell a cheaper version

In previous years ALDI have had a triple sec orange liqueur on sale in the run up to Christmas. Much cheaper than Cointreau.
Disappears off the shelves very quickly!
Keep an eye out for their xmas catalogue.

You can make orange liqueur at home using basic vodka and orange peel and a few other ingredients.
You can google recipes as such approaches are outside the scope of this thread

Black Barrel showing as â‚¬40 in my local Tesco this evening. â‚¬30 is a great price, especially if you can get a further â‚¬5 off with voucher.
