    I like the Perlenbacher 8 as it's the only time you get the decent German version of the Perlenbacher and also 'cos buying 8 makes you feel less like a degenerate compared to if you're buying slabs of 24 cans like Guinness lol!

    This particular degenerate won't need to be buying any 8 packs for a long time.

    I did my shopping/stockpiling before Christmas.

    Likewise. I tried my best to clear out the big Tesco in Tralee of cheap Talisker in the weeks before Christmas but they kept restocking! :eek: There are bottles of it all over the house now! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 469 ✭✭rafatoni


    After all the great prices before christmas they are all back up again. Nothing as bad :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,477 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Only 9 weeks til Patrick's Day though :)

    Scrap the cap!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    If Perlenbacher is in Lidl this week, the Polish 7.2% Argus should be in next week or the week after. Used to be €1.50/500ml, think it went up to €1.70 last year but still a great deal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,050 ✭✭✭cletus


    I thought i had stocked up before Christmas. Can’t seem to find most of it now...

    they might turn up. My place is like having an easter egg hunt, lifted a black sack of stuff and there was a 3 litres of smirnoff under it, found a couple of cases of guinness under a sideboard.

    Be great if Tatra turns up in Lidl as well as Argus

    Argus is a very nice beer,how do you know its in next week?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick

    Agreed, it's incredible especially for the price! Lidl seem to have a regular "offer rotation cycle" if you will - any time the XXL deal (which for this thread means 8x500ml Perlenbacher / €7.30-€7.50) comes around, the Polish Week, which includes several varieties of Argus and the yellow cans of Tatra, usually follows within the following three weeks. It used to always be the week immediately after XXL (so could start next Monday) but last year it varied by several weeks. Always shows up within a short timeframe following the XXL though, so keep an eye out on the leaflets!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious

    No Tatra there but they often don't give a proper full reckoning in the leaflet so if anyone's looking for that I'd still give it a shot!

    that's why I put the sad face on the post it's killing me to have to pay €36 for a slab. Does anyone know how much a slab of Guinness is in Dunnes?

    Message from publicans. Give up yer oul booze deals and come back to our lovely establishments.

    The Vintners Federation of Ireland welcomed the indications that the government will move forward with the plans.

    The organisation's CEO, Padraig Cribben says the move is needed to deal with below-cost selling.

    "We have been campaigning for a decade now on minimum unit pricing, and we think it's time to move ahead and put in in place because there is no other remedy insofar as in the way the retail trade, particularly the big supermarkets, are operating," he said.

    All this is going to mean- is a traffic jam to Newry and Eniskillen.

    Funny how it says a 12 pack of cans will go from €12 to €20, cans of what exactly because it’s unusual to see a 12 pack of bulmers for €12

    All this is going to mean- is a traffic jam to Newry and Eniskillen.

    With the potential for duty free from the end of March, it'll mean boot-loads being smuggled back from the giant Tesco in Holyhead alongside as much spirits as possible bought on the boat for a third of the price.

    The underlying concept is clearly against EU law unless you can demonstrate that no other measure can be effective. We are nowhere near close to that - we still allow alcohol advertising. We had minimum pricing on smokes which was overturned by the EU on that basis and that was despite an advertising ban, a retail display ban, second highest taxation in Europe, etc, etc.

    The organisation's CEO, Padraig Cribben says the move is needed to deal with below-cost selling.
    if they want to stop below cost selling they should be campaigning for it, instead of this ludicrous MUP proposal which sees retailers cleaning up when the money could and should be going into tax coffers.

    I would have no real issue with banning below cost selling, it is meant to be rare enough. I reckon some spirits are below cost but would just rise a little, alcohol is cheap to produce.
    We have been campaigning for a decade now on minimum unit pricing
    A quick google and I can find nothing about the vintners and MUP a decade ago, earliest I see is 2013. They have been against below cost, but that is a different thing. MUP still allows BCS to go on.
