Agree they have stopped giving out vouchers, but last Saturday (8th) in Clarehall I put through a €50 spend, used my clubcard €10 off. Then used the €10 off €45 I got for that straight away for the second half of the shop. Receipt voucher said from 10th Dec.

Yeah, regardless of the 'valid from' and 'valid to' dates printed on any particular voucher, EVERY VOUCHER issued by Tesco in the past few weeks has the EXACT SAME GENERIC BARCODE so they will all scan every day up until the end of the promotion (currently Christmas Eve). Till operators may refuse to accept them though if they're outside the printed validity period.

Till operators have been refusing to accept them when they are inside the printed validity period, happened to me twice on two separate occasions

Use the self checkouts in that case. Get all the assistance to de-tag etc done before payment.

Considering it contains grain whiskey made by IDL in Midleton (and basically always has had ROI made grain since the 60s if not earlier), that would be a bit of a technical impossibility. Also their master distiller is Catholic anyway.

Only the aged bottlings - 10/12/16/21 are fully NI made.

Also, the Jamesons were protestant, etc. Very lazy, generally misinformed Irish-American in a bar, stereotype

They ship the Protestants into Cork just to sort out the grain, I’ve seen them.

Of course it isn’t

Proper fenians pour it into a glass - what kind of muck savage drinks whiskey from their hands?

Writers Tears Whiskey with 2 glasses reduced from €45 to €35 in Tesco

Went to my local Tesco today and no sign of this and staff member said they had not stocked it for years. Not a whiskey man myself but had hoped to buy as a present.


Also filled my trolly with €90 of drink and groceries, produced a €10 of €45 I received through post and €10 of €45 from paper and second voucher was rejected as first voucher brought total below threshold, but was allowed to add another slab to validate second voucher.

They haven't stocked it regularly for years; it has only reappeared in the gift box. Hopefully it joins the regular Christmas lineup - Cardhu usually vanishes during the rest of the year also and is also reduced hugely this year.
