    Same thing is €15 + delivery from www.eurostop.fr.st

    What sort of drink? Wine/Spirits/Beer? Oddbins is a lot cheaper than the site you mentioned and they do deliveries from their Irish stores:

    Well, not online, but if you have transport and aren't too far away, I'd recommend you take a trip across the Border to Newry (<10 miles past Dundalk) - Curleys off-licence and Sainsburys will make you wish you brought a van ;)

    Not internet, but Aldi do a Galahad lager (24x500ml) for €19.99. I know supermarket own brand stuff is usually crap, but this is not bad and a good price.
    Lidl also do one about the same price but I didn't fancy it
    Aldi also sell single cans for99c. If there's one local try a few and see what you think.
    Dr Dre where is Curly's in Newry?

    iirc it's just beside Dunnes Stores and poundstrecher shoping "center" on patrick street


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,711 ✭✭✭Dr. Dre


    It's just off Monaghan St. - like Agent Smith said, it's beside Dunnes, poundstretcher and Argos.

    Patrick St. is where the college and sports centre is, IIRC.

    also not internet but carry out, dunnes and a few other places are doing bottles of rolling rock for €0.99 each. This is some of the tastiest beer available and well worth checking out at that price

    Thanks guys, I know where that is...must have walked past it numerous times with my eyes closed.
    Will look in next time I'm there, always interested in a shop with cheap beer.:D

    Who cares about being far away? Even if you were driving up from Cork you'd still save a load if you were buying in quantity like I do every few months. :D Sainsburys in Newry is good, Makro in Dunmurry in Belfast is better if you're ever passing that way...

    Robbing ba**ard. He's getting his beer from France? A slab of Bud or Heineken is €15 in France. That's a hell of a mark-up he's making... A €20-odd profit on a slab is just taking the piss.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭LizardKing


    in fairness he has to go all the way over and back , also has to deal with the illegality of it and the moral issue of defrauding the government of tax ... I could not care less what he is making , once I get it cheaper than over here

    No sh*t he has to go over there and back. He's still not cheap.

    A 10 pack of Bud is €13.50 in Tesco.

    That means 1 bottle costs €1.35.

    That means 24 bottles cost €32.40.

    In Tesco! Check the www.tesco.ie site if you don't believe me...

    He's charging €35 to bring you 24 bottles from France.

    WTF is up with that? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭LizardKing


    I think he's selling Cans of bud export (500ml)

    tesco.ie sell it at €1.79 a can or 13.99 for 8


    at that he'd still be cheaper than tesco me thinks ...

    ireland is a discrace for drink prices...

    in the states i bought 6 bottles of miller GD for 5 dollars, bout 4 euro.

    anything thats brewed in the US is cheaper in the US, and i know we get 20c off our pint a guinness in the pubs, but it should be a lot more!

    True that, Out in france I got like 64 bottles 330ml of Kronenborg for 30euro for the 64. Its a disgrace how much we pay over here for a carry out let alone going to the pub thats why I was looking for cheap online drink :dunno:

    Thanks for the replys I think the North would be the best bet pitty you have to drive that far for a bitta drink!

    Actually MGD is brewed in Cork so it should be cheaper here.
