Its quite remarkable.
Some of them are the test products that Superquinn had before Musgraves bought them out.
Its only frozen goods though- none of the nice yummy fresh Waitrose ready meals (yet anyway). I know I'd happily pay a premium for them......

Dunnes been selling Waitrose branded wines for about two years now. I hear good stuff but I have not tasted.

Who would you want instead of Tesco if they announced the sale of the Irish division;

A. Waitrose
B. Sainsbury
C. Morrison

I actually thought Sainsbury would buy Superquinn.

Asda. Asda. ASda. ASDA. ASDA......

(I know this will bring on the Walmart comments)

I'm an Asda fan. I always make it my business to go there (Enniskillen or Falls road are the two nearest for me) when I'm in the North. Or maybe I have been known to go to the North to go to Asda....

Anyway, when rumours of Asda and Dunnes talks were abounding back in 2007(ish), I was delighted. But nothing materialised. Or did it? The offers in Dunnes are not unlike the lost leader offers in Asda (albeit at a lower price). Don't ask how I bother to know :-) but the Waitrose range is probably tied into this.

FYI - I was in Aldi last night ( with my €10 voucher ) and the fellow on the till said they will be a €10 off a €50 shop voucher in the Sunday Independent every Sunday between now and Christmas.

Happy Days.

Great , thanks

We're spoilt with this.
I predict a very intense battle for each grocery shop for the next six weeks.

I was in Tesco Ballinasloe last week & they hadn't a brown paper bag for drapery & toys. Just said they were ordered & didn't come in. This is very poor for such a big company. There was a lady ahead of me with loads of toys & drapery, what if she had kids in the car!! In my opinion they should be substituting with free plastic bags in this case.

I know its way off topic, but tesco in the uk do kitchens and i've heard ALL ORDERS have been cancelled, even jobs they were half way through doing. Not looking good for them, is it.

Not actually legal for them to hand them out for free.

I think a lot of Tesco's core shoppers- are moving over the Dunnes.
Dunnes are gone up-market, have a look at all the Waitrose products in their freezer sections!
Tesco is kind-of superfluous to needs now- it has tried to appeal to everyone- and now aside from those who couldn't be bothered shopping elsewhere- it appeals to no-one.

Not everyone has a Dunnes close, and personally I would never shop in Dunnes. I have never been in a position to have them local and never been a fan of them.

I shop between Tesco and Aldi and Amazon subscribe and save. I never have to buy full price yoghurt, tesco always run special offers, it's the same for everything, I go online check all offers and make my lists accordingly. We get Sunday papers in work so I always get the vouchers again, use one in each store. Its all about shopping sensibly,

Tesco usually work on a 67% mark up, but they go by the retailer RRP which can change on any other day. Depends on the suppliers and the particular contract they have.

I used to have to go north regularly for work and would fill up in Tesco as it was a lot cheaper than down here, the likes of 1kg of rice Is 40p but 1.19 here, and baking flour is 3 times the price here, is mad Ted

But their prices are Fubar when it comes to Deciphering the costs.

My aldi has been closed for 2 weeks, finally opens tomorrow, ready to go with my voucher and browsing online to make my shopping list, also hoping to gab a bargain or 2.

they have apparently fallen out with their suppliers, money issue I think, given the recent hole in their accounts I think some suppliers outside the grocery side of things might be starting to panic

You make your lists accordingly but only shop in 2 places....doesn't really make sense.

What do you not like about Dunness? You'll buy the same stuff at the same price (pretty much) so why would you never go there (if their was one local)

These Aldi vouchers are gonna sort me right out until Christmas (and might use some alternate weeks in Tesco !)

May I ask a question please. When the €10 Sunday Indo voucher is used, does it show up as a deduction on your receipt?

It shows up as a cash payment.

Cash Eur 61.37

Growing up in 80's we had Dunnes st. Bernard which was as cheap and nasty as yellow pack, the days when own brand meant you could not eat it. My sisters worked in Dunnes, all I was thankful for was that my mum shopped in Superquinn,

Its not somewhere I would chose to shop because of the poor quality, its personal opinion and I am glad of the fact that I have other stores closer,

Yes but not very conspicuous, under TOTAL in bold:

You may want to go back for a try - I generally find that Tesco has the worst quality own brand products of any store going at this stage; with Dunnes being one of the higher quality stores. Add the ratty fruit and veg in Tesco to the mix and its quite reminiscent of Quinnsworth circa 1993!

I only pointed it out because a deduction May be seen as a discount. In this case the voucher is seen as part payment, not a discount. To some people this may be relevant.

Not at all getting on your back about that, sorry if I gave the impression I was - the distinction you drew attention to is appropriate and not trivial - the astute remark was genuine, not sarcasm.

As the voucher does not have a barcode its difficult for their systems to apply it as a discount. They would need to apply a plus code to it, but for such a short term promo, its probably easier to apply it as a cash payment. Either way, it represent a discount on a qualifyifing shop.

The question was "does it show up as a discount".
Hence my answer.

vicwatson

You must present in advance of checking out or so it says..ime ive had to remind the staff at the end to use my voucher, they then ask me to sign it for whatever reason and then they write the receipt number on it and off you go.

Just be careful that they deduct the tenner before entering card details if paying by card.

Let's see, its money off a shop, so that's a discount no? Or am I being pedantic???? Or perhaps it a reduction of 20% ? Or 20% off a shop of exactly €50?
What difference is it?

Its the way it shows up on the receipt. The 10 Euro shows as a payment.
In Tesco it shows as a voucher.

Jaysus, does it all matter? A tenner off is a tenner off. End of.

It doesn't matter to me or you but it may to the person that asked the question.

I assumed they want to substitute the voucher for cash doing someone else's shopping and if the voucher deduction was noticeable on the receipt?

Fuzzy Clam is right to draw attention that the receipt doesn't show the €10 strictly as a deduction - in case the purpose for the questioner might be restrictive (eg. using it for a tax claim), I'd imagine.

Thanks for your advice, its not a store I would ever use.

I don't buy own branded products anymore and I grow all my own veg and some fruit and use local produce.

As I said, it's personal preference thank god we have a choice,

Thanks everyone for replies. The reason I asked the question in the first place is because I am almost 100% sure the discount (or deduction or whatever the correct term is) was not actually applied to my shopping yesterday. Total bill came to €86. I had handed her the voucher in the beginning and €100 as payment. Signed the voucher but I am almost sure she handed me back €14 instead of €24. I was wondering if the discount should show up on receipt thats all. Not much I can do about it now anyway only learn my lesson to be more awake in future.

Sure the tills are cashed out during the Day. if there is €10 extra on the till it will show up. If you are correct when you say they gave you the wrong change if you go in and talk to them and they've an extra €10 on the till and the time matches your receipt, I'd say you might get it back, depending on their Company Policy/who you speak to and obviously you'll need your receipt. They're a German Company so they're normally very straight forward about things.

Did you spend €240 (150+50+40) before vouchers? or did you just need a subtotal of €150 and then use the three vouchers (23+10+8). Pretty nice if they allow triple-dipping.

leck

With regard to the €10 voucher appearing at the bottom of the receipt as a cash payment, this would likely matter if you bought exactly €50 worth of goods and wanted to return one item with a value of €10. I presume you would get the full €10 in refund rather then €8 (€10 less 20%).
