Thanks for sharing

uh... youre welcome?

Just what ive noticed. Ive been a dunnes shopper for about 5 years. I missed a date on a voucher and so went to lidl instead. instead of 3 or 4 days for meat, its closer to 5, 6 or 7.

Veg cheaper and imo, better quality too.

Dunnes has lost its way. Simple as.

Fruit and veg is far too expensive in dunnes in the first place, it’s not a place to do a full shop, if you have a voucher then have a look at the special offers in store and if you think you can spend €50 go for it
You need to graze the offers, the drink is normally cheap in there.

You can randomly get a €5 off €25 or €8 off €40 voucher on swiping your ValueClub card, regardless of your spend, so that might be what happened?

Yeah I often get €5 off €25 when my spend might by €10 or less.

still?
what shop?

I thought most places did away with that now and you need to spend the 50 to get 10 off

It's a random till spit that some selected valuclub members get.

We don’t shop in Dunnes often but whenever we do we get a 5 off 25. It’s been happening for months.

It's a fine art to get a bargain in Dunnes these days. A lot of their own brand basics (bread, OJ, milk etc) are the same price but fruit and veg are ridiculously expensive. Grapes that are €1.99 in Tesco = €2.99 in Dunnes or 2 for a fiver which is still dearer.

You need to combine special offers with reduced short dated stock with particular own brand stuff and be working with a €5 off €25 rather than €10 off €50.

It's EXHAUSTING.

Yeah I mentioned that earlier in the week
You need to be on the ball wherever you shop, personally I use them all getting whatever’s on offer
I had two vouchers for dunnes last week €10 off €40 and €10 off €50
Couldn’t justify a spend of more than €50 without it being a waste of money of that makes sense
I got my bargains and left the other voucher for the woman behind me.

Did a €50 shop this morning. Got a €5 off €25 spend voucher as well as the normal €10 off €50 in my receipt. First time this has happened me as far as I remember.

Availed of some decent bargains in their new value range promotion; four tins of baked beans, 454g dairy ice cream & 1kg sugar for €1. Also delighted to see they've substantially reduced the price of their excellent dishwasher tablets to be more competitive (40 for €2).

Unfortunately free range chickens are still much more expensive than Tesco/Lidl/Aldi (€6 versus €4). Can't have it all I suppose.

I was told by somebody recently that Tesco accepted a Super-Valu voucher off them.

Are Dunnes Dishwasher tablets good compared to main brands?

Actually yes, I can say they were excellent when i did my main shops from there. Lidl has totally taken over from me though.

No I find them bad. Compared to LIDL dishwasher tablets or main brands.

They are enclosed in a dissolvable wrapper so you just pop them straight into the dishwasher without the hassle of having to unwrap them. Such a convenience.

I find they clean just as well, if not better, than the other own-brand tablets I've tried.

Dunnes publish some prices of their basics :eek:

For me I found the lidl ones better, the dunnes ones never got tea stains off cups.
Could be down to the water where I live but I went back to lidl ones after dunnes ones.
