Tesco wine bargains are few and far between now unfortunately

]It can be very good value, but you need to know your wines and how supermarkets market wines.

Personally I don't rate brands such as santa rita - Aldi / Lidl equivalent normal price wines are vastly superior as they don;t price in false promotions.

One example is Aldi Exquisite Argentinian Malbe @ 8.49 v Santa Rita Malbec @ 11.49 (8.61 after discount)
The Aldi one is miles ahead.

Beware of brands you only see in one supermarket.

"Winemaker selection"
"Ogio"
"Domain Arnaud" (utter muck)

Similarly avoid the cheap bottles of the mega brands such as cono sur, santa rita, wolf blass, frontera & carmen. After 25% of they are just about priced OK, but again you'll get better for same price in aldi lidl. (Aldi standard pinot grigio @6.99 will beat any €10 tesco version)

The value is in the €12-€20 price bracket where you can compare the wines and find independent ratings.

Tesco used to be far better for wine - these days I just find them to be appalling but with a little knowledge (and a smart phone when you are there,) you will find a few decent ones.

I don't disagree with your general point but I really like their Ogio.

Ogio is a really nice wine. Used to always be advertised as half price at 6 euro. Was great value. Think its about 8 or 9 euro now.:mad:

I do think Aldi/Lidl have better bang for your buck when it comes to wine.

Any tips on really good value wines for the 25% off in tesco?

Ogio is €10.00 per bottle at the moment :rolleyes: so €60.00 * 25% = €45.00 / 6 = €7.50 a bottle, not a great discount considering it usually retails about €8.00

I did a full tour of the wines in Tesco yesterday, armed with Vivino app. 80% of the wines I scanned were at their average price or a little below after the 25% discount.
A few wines like the Faustino which is on offer anyway is better value after the 25% discount.
Sangre de Torres is more expensive with the 25% off than last week when it was 6 for €40.
I highly recommend using the Vivino app to check your wines before buying. The was one particular bottle of Bordeaux supposedly reduced from €20 to €10 but which on the Vivino app was priced at an average of €8.

Pringles €1.50 yesterday in Wilton

Various multipacks of cadburys bars down to 0.75 probably all they're worth considering how small the bars have gotten! Picked up a flake, wispa and crunchie

Are they the packs of 3-4 bars or the bags of minis?

Got 2 or 3 of my wines wrong. Like suggesting a white for a red or got years wrong.

But thanks for the tip. If the price averages are better than the label recognition then I came out ahead.

Thanks. Found them in Claremorris at 75c. Lots of Wispa and Crunchie, shelf cleared of Flake.

They are still 1.50 on the website, so the 75c price might not be available in all stores.

I see comments a few posts back about White Toblerone being reduced. Today in Tesco Bray I picked up a few Milk Chocolate giant ones for € 2.99. I know it's the new design, but that's great value per gram! Reduced price of the old style one was usually € 4.00 based on 400g of chocolate. Weight has only dropped 10% (360g) with the new design but the price is 25% lower.

garbeth · 10-12-2016 9:44pm

Wemo plugs and bulbs reduced in Tesco Naas.

May be in other stores

Another set of X off Y vouchers arrived this morning - 16 off 80 for me, every week until the 8th of January.

This is basically a one week gap since the last ones ran out I think.

corblimey · 13-12-2016 12:52pm

Proper Yorkies for 20c (Tesco Mahon Point, anyway)

Four 10 off 50 for me, on top of the two 6 off 30 from SuperValu last week. Doubt I'll be crossing the threshold of an Aldi or Lidl (much) this Christmas!

deiseindublin · 14-12-2016 12:25am

I was given 4 x €16 off €100 this time round. I'll be hard pressed to get near that spend in my (small) Tesco.

amor3 · 14-12-2016 12:49am

Yeah I got more money off vouchers, still no clubcard vouchers though!

If you were due Clubcard vouchers, they should be available to print off in the Clubcard section of the Tesco website.

uli84 · 14-12-2016 1:39am

Oh I haven't received money off vouchers (yet i hope), nothing from supervalu either, aaah they don't like me anymore

joeysoap · 14-12-2016 2:21am

Slab of Guinness now €24 (28 in Dunnes and Lidl) €18 for Coors (20 in Lidl and €22 in Dunnes. Matching Aldi and Lidl for Smirnoff €17 - €20 in Dunnes. Noticed when in today that Coors was advertised for both €20 and €18 and Jameson 70cl was advertised as €20 and five yards away €25. When I pointed this out the staff member said it was the cheapest price applied - but he made no effort to remove the higher price sticker in either case.

Phone credit 5 x 20 or part thereof if stuck.
€100 is a big spend.

The website uses guide pricing the actual price will differ when scanned instore. If you end up paying more you can refuse at the door.

Not ime it doesn't

It states clearly - "Any 24 for €25 valid from 12/12/2016 until 24/12/2016"

Heineken also €25, Guinness is €24

Tesco extra Dundalk, definitely €18.

I got both money-off (4 x 5/25) and clubcard vouchers in the recent run, but nothing in the last few days. Maybe not everyone is getting them this time.

PGE1970 · 14-12-2016 3:34pm

Anyone know/think if 25% off wine offer will be back before Christmas in Tesco?

Nothing on their website.

joeysoap · 14-12-2016 3:53pm

Didn't think of that. Possible alright. €18 is a good price. (3 x €22 in Dunnes - 10 voucher = €56. €18 x 3 = €54 with no voucher or coupon.

Yes they do. Bought phone credit with a voucher today at lunchtime.

Variety box of walkers for 4 quid in dundalk today. 30 packs altogether.. seems decent to me..

Only got the clubcard vouchers, no X off Y spend ever from Tesco

joeysoap · 14-12-2016 9:16pm

This is a Tesco thread, but a heads up Guinness now €24 in Dunnes as well as Tesco and you get your discount voucher back if you spend €50.

Apologies for hijacking the Tesco thread but does mobile credit purchase qualify for the Dunnes spend 50 for 40 voucher?

It seems it does. If I had to travel some distance to tesco I would print out this page in the link below in case there was a dispute. The tesco employees seem fairly clueless about their own stores rules etc. Not sure if anyone did have trouble buying phone credit though.

Coke offer 5 for €5 until 20th

leck · 15-12-2016 10:52pm

Lipton Fresh Nature green tea, 20 pyramid teabags 56c. Not on website, so probably a clearance item.

joeysoap · 16-12-2016 1:38am

Tesco had boxes of crisps for sale (King, Tayto ) last week for €4 . Don't know if any left but you can get 12 + 6 free of Tayto for €3, which is better value.

stimpson · 21-12-2016 9:02pm

6 for €40 and 6 for €50 wine deals on again until Christmas Eve.

Sangre de toro and Castillo di Diablo on the €40 deal. Campo Viejo Reserva on the 6 for €50 is well worth the extra tenner. There could be more too.

Also, 6 packs of Hunky Dorys for 50c.

Now you're talking!
BUT I availed of this recently and one of the bottles was just OFF. I had a bottle next to it with a bottle number that was sequential or nearly sequential and it was the usual taste but the first bottle was awful.

What does one do there - bring it back to somebody in tesco and shove it under their nose "here smell this, it's awful"?
