Anyone see slabs of bud about?

As partly said by previous poster, Tesco have 15 cans 440ml Bud or Bud Light for 20 and an offer of 2 boxes for 25 which works out at less than 1 euor per 500ml can so not three bad at all!!

Just grabbed last 4 in a local T-express. Happy days. Notice it’s 4.5% as opposed to the norm 4.3%. I’d imagine it’s un-noticeable in terms of taste difference.

No idea how long these are on for, but were on-shelf tonight.

Dunnes usually change their offers over on Tuesdays- so you should be good under COB today.

Cob?

Paddy offer was gone on Sunday. Absolut, Smirnoff and Powers were still there. Smirnoff was €28 not €27, my mistake.

Tesco from today October 2nd to October 16th

Molson Canadian
Carlsberg
Budweiser

24 x 500ml cans 24 for €20

rubadub · 02-10-2019 4:16pm

also tesco
Heineken 8X50cl Can
Special OfferSAVE 2.00 Was 12.00 Now 10.00
valid from 2/10/2019 until 13/10/2019

So 24 for €30

(and definitely 500 rather than the 440ml!)

If searching tesco I now just type "beer" and then click on refine search and pick "special offers". Now it will show loads of bottles which are 4 for €10, so pick the other drop down menu and sort by "price high to low". This will display the mulitpacks which are on offer. And then all those 4 for 10 beers appear later.

Is that just a Northside thing as they are both in same shopping centre?

Supervalu Pavillions (Swords) used to until a few months ago. They no longer do. Supervalu Sutton did not. It looks like some Supervalu (Musgraves/ Ex Superquinn) do or did but only when Dunnes were in the same shopping centre.

Guinness 8x500ml cans for €10 in Lidl.

Was just coming to post to ask WTF was going on, rocked into my local Tesco with trolley ready to go and no offer on! Hopefully it'll be back for the Bank Holiday.

Was in Tesco in Banbridge today and picked up two bottles of Jack Daniels X 1ltr. £20 each. Max 6 per customer but have loads of other 1 ltr spirits @ the same price.

took thursday 24 for 20 - wasn't advertise on the slabs corner, but on the individual cans shelf (i.e. ~2euro/can or 24 for 20e selected beers and cider; didn't see any cider on the shelf, was only bud, carlsberg and molson ) -tesco dun laoghaire
They had a slab of bud on same shelf , but from experience, the seller will scan the slab's bar code and charge you ~30e instead of scanning one can and multiply by 24...( some store managers been trained into guerrilla marketing, in order to keep their positions/bonuses - fine by me, i've seen worse cases )

Yellow Dog · 05-10-2019 1:13pm

20 300ml bottles of Budweiser €17.99

Spend €20 in store and get €5 off.

Today, Saturday and tomorrow Sunday only.

https://www.lidl.ie/en/p/weekend-super-savers/lager/p28411

Wouldnt have though that was good for Carling.

fin12 · 05-10-2019 3:17pm

Have they stopped making the 330ml cans of smithwicks blonde? Haven’t seen them in a while, were handy out if u were going away n wanted to bring some cans instead of having to bring the bottles and a bottle opener.

carling is usually 8 for 10euro so a saving of 6euro on the slab.

Hard to get any decent 330ml canned beer in Ireland. Going to pick up the grolsch in Lidls.

I saw that today, there were no cases, just loose cans. This happened with grolsch a while back so I grabbed an empty box that had wine in it (sturdy) and put my cans in it and a few in my bag.

Sometimes the offers dissappear online but are still in store, I presume to stop people just buying out rakes of trays of beer to get delivered easily while the intention is to get people in the shop doing a full shop.

Might be time to put my first complaint in with https://www.asai.ie/

I suppose if it was available online and not instore they did nothing wrong. Normally they have full page adverts in the paper for these crate deals but didn't this time around.

Yeah, I am not sure if its a legit complaint but worth a try. The complaint is they falsely advertise a start/end date and pull it early, they have been doing it for ages, so even if they argue the price can be different instore they are pulling early, and they have most certainly not ran out of the product. This offer was due to end on the 16th, I tend to cut & paste the dates here partly to keep track of this dodgy practise.

Those tubs of quality street, heroes etc were reduced and said to be until 24th dec (or at least one was), then pulled. Now they are dearer no doubt due to halloween. They piss people off, I used to use the dates to plan when to buy but it cannot be trusted at all.

Not just online. Tesco Malahide which is a small/local one had them a 20 for 24 Friday. Didn't have car.....

Oh yeh i know the craft beers do it. Can be pricy and a bit of a lucky dip in terms of taste.

I meant main stream beers. Heineken etc. They do it in the North though.

flangemeistro · 07-10-2019 9:50am

I had the worst experience of my life in Tesco midelton last Saturday trying to get the 24 cans of carlsberg for €20.
Yellow label on the shelf stated the offer and there was only one crate of individual cans left so I picked it up and put it in the trolley with the rest of the shopping.
I'm trying to keep the small one happy walking around while my wife pays and she calls me over and says she's being charged €126 but she doesn't have €100 of shopping so I ask the cashier if the offer has come off, he says no, he's only a trainee so he asks the "more experienced" cashier behind him and she says she'll have to check,
So I bring her to the empty shelf and show her the label with the offer,
As I'm showing her, a store worker arrives with a combi full of beer but no carlsberg so she asks him about the offer and he says they're all sold out so I say I know I have the last crate at the till, he tells the cashier you have to give it to him.
She calls a manager who looks at it for another 5 minutes and has to call another manager he tells him to honour the price.
The lady closes her till and brings up our receipt and says she's taken the carlsberg out but the bill is still €106 without the carlsberg so she adds the €20 and it goes back up to €126!!!!
Now the queues are huge behind us and we're mortified but feck that I'm not leaving it,
She asks another cashier walking past to have a look who just scans the crate barcode and brings the bill even higher!!
My wife says no this isn't good enough and she empties all her shopping out and tells the lady to rescan everything so the bill comes to €66 and she still can't get her head around adding the €20 for the carlsberg and starts telling me "ok so I'll honour the €1.99 a can" which is also printed on the label and I say no because that will be almost €48 instead of €20 so she has to call over the manager again who is on his own till and he asks me how much is €20 divided by 24 so I tell him .83 and he puts it in manually and says I have 24 of them.
35 minutes later with a tired 18 month old, a pissed off wife, queues of people down the aisles but I got my beer.
Headless chickens would be a compliment.
Won't be going back any time soon.

That's enough to turn a man into a Pioneer !

Hogzy · 07-10-2019 10:33am

Fair play for persevering, id definitely have caved and just left the beer there.

laros · 07-10-2019 10:39am

You should have paid the bill in full... Then trotted off to customer service desk tell them you were over charged and let them sort it out... Then hit them for the double the difference on the overcharge.

Definitely fair play for perservering ,i would of left all the shopping there and never return to the shop for as long as i live.

joeysoap · 07-10-2019 11:15am

I’d have left the whole shopping there. €106 instead of €66 without the drink is mad.

That was in the back of my head but I had read conflicting reports on here recently whether that was their policy anymore?

Looks like she charged you 3 times for the beer (€20+20+20) on top of the shopping - then again, who knows.

Definitely cut & paste that post into an email and fire it off to Tesco customer service. They'll send you a gift card for the inconvenience.

You should pop into Aldi and try a can of "The 1079 Project". 33cl and only 89c.
4.6% and tastes good.
