    They were gone in 5 mins in Lidl carrigaline..
    I saw a staff member in his green Lidl shirt buy 6 he had stashed for himself at 11am!
    Interesting, the staff member handing out the whiskey yesterday told us that they are not allowed to buy any of the special offers?

    I saw a member of staff heading into the office with one yesterday, what is allowed and what actually happens are two different things I’d say
    Good luck to them if they can bag a cheap bottle or two, it would be a diffferent thing if they bought all the 55” TVs to sell on adverts

    I saw a fella I know take one back for a refund he’d bought yesterday and buy it back again

    Yesterday (15/12/2018) evening, I saw few Bushmill bottles on the shelf, but the price was displayed as 19.99. I don't know if they are the same as the one mentioned as available on offer for €10. I have taken a photo of it; I should be able to post it here after some time.

    Should I have tried to purchase those bottles for getting the €10 offer price?
    Would that have been scanned at the offer price at the till?

    In deed, I asked about this with the store keeper working on the floor, who didn't comment about it but just said those bottles were not on offer and the offer bottles were sold out.

    Were the bottles on offer different from those bottles that were on the shelf?

    The bottles are mainly white and 700ml. I doubt the black label was 20 but maybe it was.

    I would have just chanced it, asked for a till price check.

    I doubt there is anything to stop them putting up the price during the day on any item if they want to. I presume there was no sign up saying it was a tenner. Although the images on their facebook page say a tenner on the 15th.

    Why I doubt there is a restriction is since my tesco used to be 24 hrs and obviously had price increases happen at some time during those 24 hours.

    For anyone interested in the Lidl cream liqueur, they raised the price to 9.99 so people are better off buying actual Baileys.

    Some wines 6 for €50 in Tesco (I imagine you’ll get another 5% off original price in this deal too - noteworthy if using a voucher and just want to spend a min amount)

    Yes since yesterday


    I know on one wine I was looking at its cheaper now at 6 for 50 (as you prob get 5% off the original price aswell) than when it was 25% off at full price and no extra 5% off

    Supervalu has 10 off 6 bottles. Their chateauneuf de pape reduce from 30 to 15 so 13.33 a bottle of you get the 6, would normally be 30 a bottle. Great deal, good for Christmas presents or just to have yourself!

    It's buy one, get one free. So it's essentially 5 euro per bottle. Only on Thursday though.

    I think Tesco are €25 so get two and use a spend and save voucher from the paper and you will get them for €20 each

    I’ve made the bulmers in Tesco sound so appealing I’m heading there later to get more, herself has nowhere to stash presents this year with all the cheap drink, the only bargain I didnt like was the coors light 2 boxes for €25, I drank a blast of them the other night and may as well have drank water

    Could hit Dunnes either tomorrow or Saturday with my 25 off 100 voucher, any advice for an all booze spend for small presents?

    If any of ya's are near a B&M bargains with an offy in the North - they have 8 cans of Magners for £4.99 so £14.97 for 24. Not bad

    Irish Distillers have two sets of 50 ml whiskeys. One is 4 by 50 ml of Greenspot, Redbreast , Johns Lane and Barry Crockett. Usually 35, on special in Dunnes at 30 less your voucher.
    Second is 3 by 50 ml Redbreast, 12 yo, Lustau and 15 yo. Usually 25 , on special at 20.


    U would get 2 of each set for 75 ! Brilliant for whiskey drinkers as presents and for me (for moderate consumption...50 ml my limit).


    Also a great tasting opportunity . Barry Crockett is 250 a bottle and 25+ in a pub to try. Others are 60 ish a bottle except 15 yo Redbreast 90 ish.

    Will be trying over Christmas.

    2015 vintage rated 97/100 but not ready to drink yet (I suggest you place it in your cellar for a few years beside your Petrus '57 and your Blue Nun '18)
    2012 vintage rated 93/100 and ready to drink last night, so I did and it was quite nice - definitely worth the price. Doesn't have the clout or complex mineral taste of an 'expensive' Chateauneuf, but can't really expect that for that price.
    2014 - don't know, sorry
