12 330ml cans of Grolsch for €8.99 in my local Lidl (balbriggan) deliciously cheap!

Tesco Aromatic Gin down from €22 to €13.20.... Very drinkable gin!

Picked up a bottle this evening to try as I'd a spend & save voucher. The London dry gin is also reduced to the same price.

Yellow Dog · 15-05-2019 10:32am

Was in my local Lidl yesterday.

8 500ml bottles Perlenbacher €7.49

As always, keep an eye out for the 7.2% Argus for €1.50 or €1.70 next week!

Just checked the website and I don't see it at that price. Was gonna pop into Maynooth on the way home. Probably a waste of time now so.

It's a reduced price, not a sale price if you know what I mean. A "reduced" price wouldn't appear on the website

Got ya. Popped into Tesco Lucan on the way home and sure enough the gin was still at €13.20 so got two bottles. Had two drinks of it this evening and it's quite nice alright. Amazing value indeed.

Yep, the Tesco Finest gins have been discontinued, hence why they're no longer on the UK or Irish websites.

Been replaced by ghost label equivalents from the same distillery it would appear so quite possibly the same contents in the bottles.

My condolences on your loss but did you not see the writing in big capital letters in the link that stated "WHILE STOCKS LAST"?

Once again, I'm sorry for your troubles and I would urge you to try and remain strong in the tough times ahead. As always Yellow Dog, I am here anytime you need me and we can get through this together.

Remember, tough times don't last but tough people do.

When do supermarkets ever publish how much stock they have on sale?

If you look at the actual link being referred to you will quite clearly see in capital letters "WHILE STOCKS LAST".

highdef · 16-05-2019 5:32pm

Mainly due to this thread, I now have about 35 bottles of unopened spirits in the home bar and not far off that number of opened bottles. This thread has saved me literally dozens, if not hundreds of euro and I have enough alcohol to last me for quite some time!!!

Exceptionally rarely in the days of early morning queues for Silvercrest/Tevion/Medion laptops, TVs etc you would occasionally see a number per store posted. For booze the numbers are going to be relatively high and also relatively useless - different stores have different trading patterns.

Brewdog 12 packs for €12 back in stock in my local O’Briens.

Thank you for your concern.

The only reason I mentioned the lack of stock was because they only went on sale two hours before I arrived. I`m sure if I asked they would have found some more. The space on the shelf would only hold about 12 bottles anyway. Will probably drop in again today on my way to Lidl to get more Perlenbacher.

No brewdog in Obriens Nutgrove as of now.

4 bottles of the Tesco aromatic gin left in nutgrove.

Thanks for that.
Got 4 litres for €65 using the €15 off for signing up to online orders (just ordered to click & collect).

Caranica · 17-05-2019 12:40pm

Yes thanks for the Super Valu tip off. I needed to buy a bottle of Smirnoff as a thank you (I hate the stuff but the recipient thinks it's the best vodka) so upgrading to a litre makes it a very decent gift.

Limit of 2 per customer online now.

Now showing as not available.

Lidl XXL Perlenbacher 8x500mls €7.49 back from Monday 20th

hatrickpatrick · 17-05-2019 4:36pm

Turns out that next week is officially XXL week in Lidl, so the previous poster simply got lucky and got in early - this means that, in fact, Perlenbacher 8x500ml for €7.50 should be available in all Lidls next week, while Polish week will be either the week after, or two weeks after. Happy days!

EDIT: Just saw Vicwatson's post above

TheDriver · 17-05-2019 7:58pm

I notice Tesco stores are cutting price on random booze. My local has erdinger cans for 1.73, 4 pack tyskie for 3.50, 4 cans desperado for 5.40 etc. I was in other stores and different stuff on offer. Check out your local.

stimpson · 17-05-2019 9:19pm

Anybody get any gushers in the brewdog packs? I opened an Elvis Juice and had to get a cloth. Just followed it with an Indie and the same thing happened. The pack has been sitting in my fridge all week. The one I drank last weekend has no such issues.

This is ringing bells with me. I have not had any of the current brewdogs. I had a similar problem with a lot of McCargles on special offer last year. I simply do not know if it is a cold fridge OR if it is related to special offers/ destocking/ getting rid of (marginally) iffy products. Any thoughts?

Cold fridge should prevent gushers. From my limited experience in home brewing, it’s caused by an infection in the beer or by over priming causing excess CO2. It’s not an infection as the beer tastes fine.

Just opened a Dead Pony in the sink and it gushed a bit too. The face that they are different beers is the weird thing. I may email them to see what they say.

TheDriver · 17-05-2019 11:03pm

Im having no issue here. I did have issue with a certain Irish small craft brewer few years back and major gushers, owner wasn't surprised and remembered a lively batch which obviously made its way to me. Surprising in your case that it's different beers though.

Genghis · 18-05-2019 11:16pm

On the O'Briens deal. None in Dun Laoghaire, Blackrock or Sandyford. 3 left when I picked up 2 in Newbridge apx 9.30 tonight.

Great deal!

probably do not want people ordering loads online. In my tesco there was very low stock of the bottles & cans, and they were taken out of trays and there was no plastic linking the cans. i.e. purposely making it difficult to buy lots.

Dunnes

Tesco

Buddy97mm · 23-05-2019 11:42am

Tesco seem to be selling off a lot of their own wines (similar to gin previously referenced). Some of these are really decent wines and exceptional value now. They were previously reduced, but seemd to be now further discounted (prices in Navan today)

Claret €3.60
White Burgundy €4.80
Lussac St Emillion €6.40
Verdicchio €4.80
Some Barefoot reds €4.00
Some Carmen Gran Reservas €6.00

amber2 · 23-05-2019 1:43pm

SuperValu Guinness 24 for €25 at the moment. Bud, carlsberg, Guinness and Bulmers 500ml, 2 x 12 packs for €25.

KM792 · 23-05-2019 5:41pm

Tesco hot on the heels of last week's Supervalu offer on spirits,2 for €40 on 1 litre vodka,gin...good times to be a spirit drinker it seems..

Thanks for that. Bizarrely my local Tesco in D3 had B&G Pinot Noir for €4.80 down from €12 but didn't have discount on the Lussac. Picked up a few bottles and what was left on the shelf was snapped up by the next random customer.
