    Just left Lidl Bray (third lidl store in a hunt of hammock on a stand) and thought the Carlsberg was good value.
    20 x 300ml bottles for 17.99

    Heineken was 20 x 300ml bottles for 21

    Edited to say I must have read the boxes wrong, I don't think they come in 300ml bottles, must be 330ml bottles

    The Heineken are 330ml.
    Recently lidl had a lot of Heineken x24 of 365ml for €25. That was very nice deal.

    It's worth noting that the case of 20 x 330ml gives you 20 x 30 ml = 600ml extra or the equivalent of 2 extra bottles compared to the case of 20 x 300ml.

    Ultimately though it's down to taste and you should buy the beer you prefer to drink.

    Luckily for me I like both :).

    these were 355ml and presumable intended to be sold in pubs so sold to the supermarkets instead of letting them go out of date. Aldi had them to but were more expensive.

    I dont know if it will or wont come within the allowable weight/dimensions but in any case it will likely be on the limit of those restrictions. I was just curious as to what the overweight/oversize charges were in the event that I would have to pay.

    Fingers crossed they'll be within the limits though

    How did you get on? Any charges?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,028 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    3 Desperados for €5.99 in Lidl. Not exactly a great deal but the alcohol content is 5.9%.

    Good value, but life is too short to drink very mediocre whiskey.........

    Still only the price of 5 half ones in the local.

    Indeed. It may not be the bee's knees but it's far from mediocre IMO.

    Dunnes currently selling powers gold label whiskey 700ml for 20 euros..Handy if you have money off vouchers..

    Very mediocre is being generous.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 9,923 ✭✭✭mik_da_man


    Very mediocre is being generous.

    It's all relative tbh, at the price point it's decent and well above a lot of the more expensive whiskey from new suppliers.

    The powers offer above may be better for a more seasoned whiskey drinker.

    And going back to the bargains, Powers three swallow is 33 in SuperValu at the moment, fantastic stuff and nothing would beat it at the price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭Luap


    Carry Out have Hendrick's Gin 70cl €36.99

    Powers 3 Swallow is an absolutely superb whiskey. And at €33 is an absolute steal.

    Very very underrated whiskey.

    Honestly there is no reason for the snobbery. If they think Jameson is mediocre they should try entry level scotch or bourbon. Jemmy is decent for the price point (even more so at €20).

    Just been in Dunne’s and got the Powers at €20. They have some decent bargains. Redbreast 12 for 57, Powers Johns lane at €61 and a fiver off others including Green and Yellow spot. I picked up The Irishman founders reserve for €30. Will be back tomorrow with my €10 voucher for the Redbreast!
