    Less temptation to buy items you don't need in Aldi compared to Dunnes. Our weekly shop for 2 adults baby and toddler comes in around €50 includes baby formula costing €13.49 alone, cleaning products etc. I would augment this with buying cut price meat for freezing from Dunnes along with other items that are on special price from time to time. This comes to maybe €15 a week. Anytime we have done the weekly shop in Dunnes it has come in north of €70.

    I am wondering if there are different Dunnes offer in different dunnes stores? Or the discount applies equally to all dunnes store at the same time?

    Certain branches issue (or issued) 5 off a 25 spend or 8 off a 40 spend- at various times. The 10 off a 50 spend- is in common in all Dunnes Grocery stores (note- its groceries only- not clothing, hardware or homeware- and similarly- you don't earn towards a new voucher when you have any non-grocery-department items in your grocery shopping).

    So- the smaller spend offers- are local offers- the 10-off-50 is in common with all Dunnes Grocery stores.

    Oh ye

    I am wondering about discount on particular grocery items, such as a liquid conditioner from a particular brand was 50% off at my nearest dunnes store. Is this 50% off be applied across the country at all dunnes stores?

    I think it might be part of the weekly specials nationwide. Some Dunnes do have store specific deals too. I have seen the one in Pavilions in Swords do it. I think it might be if they are threatened by direct competition in an area.

    Can someone explain please? If I buy € 50, next time I buy €50 I will pay € 40? So in order to get €10 off every week I should spend € 60? (€60 - €10 = €50 plus a coupon to use next week).

    No.
    Buy 50 this week- and get a till-spit voucher entitling you to a 10 Euro off when you spend 50 Euro on your next visit.
    Next week- buy 50, use your 10 Euro off- which brings it down to 40 net, and you get another 10 off when you spend 50- because your shopping was 50 before you used a voucher- and so on, ad infinitum.

    No.
    Week 1: Spend €50 to get €10 off next €50 Spend. Cost: €50.
    Week 2: Spend €50 to REDEEM Voucher AND get next week's voucher: Cost: €40.
    Week 3 and so on....: Spend €50 to REDEEM Voucher AND get next week's voucher: Cost: €40.

    My dunnes stopped the €5 off with €25 offer recently. I've pretty much stopped going there. I always found them more expensive to shop in. It does depend on what your getting.
    Dunnes have hop house beer 12 bottles for €20 but it's 16 in Tesco. Veg & cheese usually more expensive too. I used to try buy special offers to make it worth while but don't normally spend >50.
    What annoyed me most is they never advertised the €5 vouchers or the fact that they've stopped.

    Was in Dunnes in Charlestown today and spent about a fiver and got a €5 off €25 shop hurrah!!! Haven't gotten one of them since Christmas so happy days :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,373 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    I posted a link before about the 5/25 vouchers and which stores officially do them. If I did not get one in a shop they officially say should have, and had bought compliant items I would be complaining to them. I reckon they might give you vouchers in the post. Not sure about dunnes but I hear good reports about complaints to tesco.

    Note, the till spits you get are only valid from the next day onwards, they aren't valid on the day you receive them

    That's true but it gives you time to maybe decide what to do for dinner for the following few days and happily head off to Tesco to avail of the discount....... naughty but great who doesn't love money off :)

    Depends on how closely they look at it- however, some staff have been told they must make good any losses from out of date vouchers from their pockets- which I find despicable, however, its whats been said. I'd just dump them- its not worth potentially getting someone into trouble over.

    Dunnes Stores Shop & Save (€10 off €50) till-issued store vouchers with an expiry date between the 28th Feb and 6th March have been extended for use for five days beyond the original expiration date.

    T&C apply, see: dunnesstores.com/promotions


  • Moderators, Regional South Moderators Posts: 5,733 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quackster


    I lifted that from their Twitter account and the link doesn't seem to work. The correct link is dunnesstores.com/valueclub-term-promotions/content/fcp-content

    This seems to specifically only apply to till-issued spend & save vouchers and not to the vouchers in last Sunday's Sindo?

    Correct- the vouchers from the Sindo and other papers- expire on their printed expiration dates.

    The additional time for vouchers (5 days) relates solely to till issued spits which expire between the 28th Feb and 6th March.

    The screenshot of Dunnes changed terms for the vouchers due to StormEmma here. dunnes.jpg


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,257 ✭✭✭deiseindublin


    My Sindo one went out yesterday, had no chance to use it.

    Kind of relieved in a way, I'll just go back to Aldi.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,329 ✭✭✭✭zell12


    €2.80

    http://www.newstalk.com/Price-survey-reveals-Irelands-best-value-supermarket

    "A new food price survey has found retailer Aldi is up to 47% cheaper than other supermarkets.

    The survey, conducted by Grant Thornton, says Aldi has reduced the price of over one-third of its product range in past 12 months.

    It examined the prices of groceries at Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, SuperValu and Dunnes Stores.

    A basket of 62 own-brand products is more than 17% cheaper in Aldi than Tesco, over 24% cheaper in Aldi than Dunnes Stores (after taking into account their €10 off €50 voucher offer) and up to 47% cheaper in Aldi than SuperValu."
