Price of a slab...

noddyflavin

When buying cans I'd usually just knock up to the local grocers and purchase 6 cans of Beer for 10 bucks, I'm buying a slab of said beer in supermarket for 24 bucks at the moment. How much will said slab cost in said supermarket after Christmas or do they stop stocking slabs then or what?...

To be honest, I'm better off paying 10 for 6, if there's only 6, I can only drink 6. When there's 24...

Just do whatever.

you can get some beers for 20e a slab in Tesco's ATM.

Offers, it's all about the offers, they (Tesco) do offers throughout the year. My general rule is, when they're on offer, I buy lots, which keeps me going until the next batch of offers.
Just be prepared to go through them all, tesco, dunnes, supervalu, aldi, lidl ..... There's nearly always an offer somewhere

What an odd turn of phrase. Did you visit the draper and the haberdasher upon your travels as well?

Slabs are usually €44.99, how much do you drink? once a week? :rolleyes:

6 x 52= 312 cans for €1.66 a can = €520 a year

so.... 312/24 = 13 slabs buy 13 slabs now for €312

That's €208 you've saved for the year :eek:

Yes, good enough value got them last year as well *** BUT BUT BUT check each store! Depending on where it's located the 'offer' may not be running.

As example last year my good lady was paying €36 for a slab of beer in Douglas Village so we returned it to go to Aldi but stopped in Mahon Point and got the same beer for the €20 which we bought.

Just because beer makes you a fatty. I'm as skinny as a 70's junkie rocker. I'm not a 70's junkie rocker. I'm a retired 90's ecstasy raver...

Isn't a haberdasher a tailor, or at least a man who sells clothes?

I always thought 24 cans was a "tray" no? Fúck it im half way into a slab of miller. I've been enjoying the deals on Guinness too. That €16 for 8 cans was taking the piss TBH.

"when there's 24..." what ?

If you buy 6 fish fingers, you can eat 6
If you buy 24 do you eat all 24 ?

If you can't stop drinking after 6 and leave some there for next week then you have a drinking problem

You'll just say to yourself 'i'll have one for the road'. Then after a while this becomes twice of what you wanted to drink. Then walla you wake up the next morning in your jocks painted blue in a cell .

If you have a problem limiting your drinking to an amount you're happy with depending on how much is in your shed/kitchen whatever then go on spend more it's worth it.

Loads of cheap drink doesn't suit you, I have the mentality of "using something up" because I have it, if you're like me then just avoid keeping anything in the house that makes you think like that.

I usually buy 12.5 gram pouches of tobacco but when I went on holidays and got a few 40 gram pouches man did I get through them quickly, when there is more there I consume more. Doesn't mean he has a drinking disorder maybe disordered drinking not for me to decide.

Am I out of the loop as to whats "in" and whats "not"? :pac:

I've never heard anyone say 'slab' .... always a 'tray'

In my cosmopolitan area we hear slab on the Northside and tray on the Southside, slab spoken in any dialect, but tray spoken in an upper English upper middle class accent, rather like Mrs Bucket calling herself Mrs Bouquet in a TV sitcom.

The bloke in the next cell to me ten years ago had to go to court one day and I heard a popping sound, Well his bottle of hooch blew up, The cell was wrecked, You see you need to let the air out and he wasn't there so boom, The prison officers never reported it as cleaning the cell after a long day at court was enough punishment.

O' Briens have had 24 cans of Tuborg for €20 for months at this stage. Great deal for a lager that's superior to most of the other mainstream ones.

some of you lads have some serious drinking problems. would you not think about knocking it on the head? this thread is making me sick. alcohol is a poison on this earth.
