    In previous years ALDI have had a triple sec orange liqueur on sale in the run up to Christmas. Much cheaper than Cointreau.
    Disappears off the shelves very quickly!
    Keep an eye out for their xmas catalogue.

    You can make orange liqueur at home using basic vodka and orange peel and a few other ingredients.
    You can google recipes as such approaches are outside the scope of this thread :)

    Oh good to know, thanks

    Lidl

    From Thursday

    Stella Artois 24x330ml €19.99
    Bulmers 20x300ml €17.99

    Thanks! €30 isa very good price! (Just FYI - I am 99% certain that Black Barrel was €35 (not €47.01) in Tescos last week)


    Black Barrel showing as €40 in my local Tesco this evening. €30 is a great price, especially if you can get a further €5 off with voucher.

    It's ridiculous to think the Cambridge English dictionary only refers to the use of English words in Cambridge. It's one of the foremost authoratitive dictionaries.

    You're wrong about that I'm from the west originally and have NEVER heard lads refer to women.

    I was not discussing the slang word "ladeen"

    This thread is about booze.

    I bought a pack in Cornel's Court yesterday, but priced at €16.xx (not sure of the cents) but had a coupon that reduced by €5, so very pleased.

    (Real 500 ml with widget).

    I can confirm the .xx cents at 23.

    So €16.23 x 4 packs = €64.92 for 48 cans, less €10 off €50 voucher made it the equivalent of €27.46 for a slab.

    With widgets :D

    Saw an old boy in Cornelscourt picking up 4 slabs of the 470ml, cost him €92 with his vouchers. 96c a can.

    On a side note, On BBC2's "Eat more for Less" last year, in a blind test, a couple that drank 3 bottles of Moet a week, thought Lidl's Champagne was actually their usual Moet and said something like you can always tell quality even if it cost a little more.
    The show had swapped the Moet for Lidl's Champagne and the couple couldn't tell the difference.

    The ALDI one is far nicer imo

    the real test is the next morning after you have drunk the whole bottle
    cheap muck will tend you induce more banging inside the aul grey matter!

    Agree. The Lidl one is too dry- and is higher in sulphites than the Aldi one.
    I guess thats why I'd much rather drink Prosecco than Champagne.

    I saw Marks & Spencer London Dry Gin (Blended) in Liffey Valley, priced to clear at €22 for a 1 litre bottle, down from €31. Reviews are very favourable. The 70cl retails at 15 pounds sterling so €22 for 1 litre with our much higher prices is a great deal. Had a couple last night for tasting purposes and it's nice alright.

    There were 3 bottles left on the shelf. Was going to buy all 3 but left 1 for someone else. At the checkout, the till operator swiped a €5 voucher which I never even asked for, leaving me with a bill of €39 for 2 litres of pretty good gin :D

    I had to settle for 1 litre of Paddy which was the same price. Picked up some wine we like which was on special offer as well and used a €10 off voucher. Score.

    Captain Morgan 1Ltr
    Smirnoff 1Ltr

    Your memories are wrong. Might be worth another shot...

    It hasn’t changed. Only usable as a hot whiskey or to clean a mouth ulcer.

    Well...the thread title IS boose deals :).

    8 cans Hop House for 12 euro in Tesco. https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/product/details/?id=300400074

    Dunnes often does boxes of Hop House bottles for 20 euro.



    I picked up slab of Heineken for 14 euro in Tesco yesterday. "Spoiled" goods section is often good for beer. Only thing wrong with this slab was the packaging looked slightly worn. Just wanted to brag about that :)
