As the title says, centra are selling tea and coffee (cappucinos and lattes also) for 1c with any other purchase tomorrow, tuesday 15th budget day. There are restrictions as to what the "other purchase" can be (see below) but if you buy a cheap bar or chocolate, looks like the drink is 1c. No mention of a minimum purchase.

The coffee will be spiked with a sub lethal dose of Ricin.
If you have one cup of coffee, you'll be fine
If you have two cups of cheap coffee, you'll get flu like symptoms, but if you have 3 or more, you'll die an agonising death (and rightfully so, you stingy ts and cs violator)

Its not trickery. All stores should be doing the offer, its advertised nationally. There is another forum on here for conspiracy theories.

Same sh1te again centra, not knowing anything about the deal in store or no sign of it.

I didnt go out of my way to avail, but there is a centra near my work and as i go in there anyways most mornings i would know the staff to talk to.

They have not been told of this offer at all.

Normally have tea in work anyway so it's no biggie, but why put up an offer that your franchisees know nothing about centra?

90c is about the usual cost. Still 91c is not bad for a coffee and a kit kat.

I availed of this this morning, picked up a freshly baked Danish as well, €1 for the 2 items, happy days. I did notice that the stronger (Joe??) coffee machine seems to be out of order, strange that.
