    Nice one, but what does
    "Photocopies or reproductions will not be accepted."

    Even though it says all you have to do is print off this voucher!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,196 ✭✭✭pyramuid man


    It also says, All you have to do is print this voucher off and present it to any major retailler.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,831 ✭✭✭CountingCrows


    Got mine free in Spar with a print out.

    Fat chance the local Mace will accept those, miserable sack of **** place.

    Nationwide there's a huge Ocean Spray Cranberry push with practically every outlet selling the new litre cartons for just over a euro.

    I saw the same new cartons in Mace and brought them up to the counter - €2.50.
    Had to leave them there - they're obviously getting them cheap from the manufacturer with the new promo and they're selling them at full whack.

    Cheeky ****ing *****.

    Spar on Baggot Street Lower refused to take the voucher - apparently the bar codes don't match!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 800 ✭✭✭nialldinho

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,131 ✭✭✭RentDayBlues

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    Redeemed me a tub of Choc fudge brownie at the Centra, in Central park - dublin.

    Choc fudge brownie.... goes down smooth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,181 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    Manager in Spar Cherrywood is refusing to accept these. Miserable git. I'll get one or two on the way home though hopefully! Thanks OP!

    Funny, Now someone make with THE LOCATIONS OF PLACES IN CITY CENTRE THAT WILL TAKE THEM!!!

    *breathes*

    (Sorry, it's just "free" and "ice cream" are two of my favorite things)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 705 ✭✭✭yurmothrintites


    I can't get into the scoop shop page on the website. Will they accept the vouchers in Dundrum Cinema?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    Central Park, leopardstown..... next to Bewleys leopardstown & Vodafone HQ

    Go to 5th Avenue.... take a left..:)

    Yes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭RATM


    Has any one redeemed one of these somewhere in Dublin city center? if so where? I'd like a free ice cream but Im not willing to go traipsing around arguing with corner shop managers all afternoon which seems to be the problem had by a few previous posters.

    Any ideas?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 286 ✭✭NervousNude


    I work on Baggot Street and tried Spar, Tesco and Donnybrook Fair on Baggot St Upper, THEN walked over to Fresh by GC Dock AND Spar on Barrow Street but to no avail. All gone :mad: Anyone know anywhere in the area that sells the little tubs and has them in stock?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,926 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Thanks OP.

    Myself and 4 workmates just hit the local Spar. Walked away with 4 Caramel Chew Chew's and one Vanilla (women!).

    Sun shining, free icecream.....good day!

    P.S. The tubs retail at €3.49!! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 369 ✭✭lala stone


    How long does it take for you to receive the email? anyone try it in D1 direction?!! R all the spars handing them out?
    Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,926 ✭✭✭Soarer


    There's no email to receive.

    There's a .pdf file attached to the first post of this thread. Open it, print it out, go to the shop, get free ice-cream.

    Cool thanks! shops in dub will prob be too tight to hand them out id say! Judging from NervousNude's experience!!

    Sounds like you needed an ice cream after all that walking to put the calories back on:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 Timarida


    Mortons on Hatch Street do not accept this voucher :(

    Centra on Camden street do not have any 150ml tubs in their freezer :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭lindtee


    Anywhere in cork that will accept these. I don't wanna be scarleh at the counter and be questioned about their legitimacy!:o:o

    It was to be my reward for all the exercise! Instead I had to eat half a tub of lard just to be sure I don't blow away on my way home. Not nearly as enjoyable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,102 ✭✭✭mathie


    Anywhere on Henry St / OConnell St accepting?
    Thanks

    Got them in Spar, Eastgate, Little Island. Only had Vanilla and Caramel Chew Chew in stock.

    They'll probably have them in Super Valu Glanmire. I'm heading over there after work to get one of the half price fullsize tubs of B&J's, so I'll let you know when I get home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,172 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Wonder if Centra in Ranelagh are accepting these?!

    Thanks Soarer-I'll wait for your reply before I go to SV...you can be the guinea-pig! Wonder if I printed off a few and sent the kids in one by one would we all get one?!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 130 ✭✭4goneConclusion


    When printing it out should it be the full A4 size or smaller? because the default size for me is a lot smaller than the full A4. Thanks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭RATM


    Just been to Spar on Nassau St, Bustop on Grafton and Londis on Dame. No joy=(
    No offense to the Op but this offer is a waste of time if the shops won't take the vouchers.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,588 ✭✭✭JP Liz


    Are some shops refusing?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 286 ✭✭NervousNude


    I'm pretty sure it's a legit offer, although the website only mentions their 'scoop shops'. Which I can't see on my computer due to flash being blocked (or something). I just couldn't find anywhere that had any ice cream so didn't get a chance to try out the voucher.

    Nothing to do with the Op, its bad business sense and service. Its was even worse last year. If you take the time to email them http://www.benjerry.ie/contactus/ they might send you a voucher, which they did last year.

    No small B&J's in SV Glanmire.

    Did get the halfprice full size one, plus 2 x 10 packs of Hunky Dorys for a grand total of €8! That's the muchies for the Liverpool match this evening sorted!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭Brimmy


    Yeah the full sized tubs are half price in Supervalues..

    I have no printer in the house though and that's a good 20 minute walk.

    Think I have 1/3rd of some Baked Alaska I might root out of the freezer to help me with my essay :D

    Are the Hunky Dorys half price?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,926 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Yeah they are.

    Job!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 488 ✭✭soc


    Well I tried 2 shops on the way home, and both of them FLATLY refused the voucher. They didn't even bother their hole to look at it!

    I asked both places why they were refusing:
    * one said they just aren't taking them
    * the other said that they 'didn't get email from the distributor'.. and that 'the manager rang the company who knew nothing of the offer', and that 'as far as (they) were concerned it was all a scam, and they wouldn't accept the voucher'

    It's pretty embarrassing being shot down like that :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    I call Shenanigans on all the retailers not accepting this.

    The missus took one to Londis/topaz in wicklow who flat refused it.
    Dont they understand the reasons coupons exist?
    To make money!

    they make their money on the ice-cream anyway.
    It brings footfall into the store and can drive indirect sales of other items.

    This blind moronic attitude to these schemes by Irish retailers always gets my goat.
    I've spent some time in America, & my folks there dont even consider shopping anywhere till they've checked all the coupons they might have.

    its a win-win situation for the retailers here but they cant even bother their hole.... stuff em

    Spar, Manor St., Waterford said no initially but then said "Go on, ill leave you have it". He was the assistant manager and was clearly clueless. He pointed out that it never said "What store it applies to" and that the "bar code does not even scan".

    Havent tried it elsewhere.
