Elcato, If you're on facebook there are some groups where vouchers are sought and shared, for example if coming close to expiry.Wow - thanks for the heads up. I notice mine is down to a week now alright.
Actually this now is a pain as I am going on a weeks holiday soon and will lose the initial €5 off voucher. Anyone know of a way of getting a new voucher without having to spend €25 again ?
I get the 3 litre size of semi-skimmed milk in Dunnes, and this has increased again in price from €2.90 last week to €3.20 when I last shopped on Wednesday.While we are all watching the expiry date on the vouchers see that they have now increased the milk again to €2.29. I even glanced at the sign on the fridge and I'm almost sure it was still stating €2.09 but receipt shows €2.29! So from 1st January it has gone from €1.49 to €2.29.
I always assumed that the voucher system Dunnes use wasn't really self funded but was made possible by their suppliers through long term agreements (LTA's). Back in the day when we were thinking of running any sort of promotion or discount offer, it was only approved once the supermarket was able to maintain it's profit margins or the majority of that margin and the only time they took a sizable hit on that margin was when it was their own branded itemsPeople are spending lots of money either way so why bother giving them something that they don't have to and save Dunnes a lot of money too. They are probably out of pocket a lot this week too with people using up their Valueclub card vouchers that were issued recently.
Probably drop them to €8 and €4.That's a pity and will result is a few small changes in our shopping habit's either in more frequent trips and/or bigger spends

Either way no matter who is funding it it has probably become a cost that has to be looked at given the huge increases in the cost of doing business here over the last year and we could be looking at the demise of the €10 off €50 voucher, hopefully not
I agree. We don't bother with it at all. I think you can only purchase one item if on special offer also.Regarding lidl, their app is useless ,never see anything worth going for on it. Also I think you have to actually select the individual offer on the app before buying the product. I'm open to correction on that though
Yes you have to activate the offer. But what's good is that if you activate 4 offers they are applied when paying.Regarding lidl, their app is useless ,never see anything worth going for on it. Also I think you have to actually select the individual offer on the app before buying the product. I'm open to correction on that though
It would be a mistake to base your shopping choices on gimmicks such as these, they are after all funded by the consumer and are designed purely to encourage you to spend more.Much inferior to anything tesco or dunnes are offering. With tesco they actually tailer their offers to products they know you buy.

Was thinking along both those trains of thought last night, then I was thinking Good God where has my life goneIf you are driving and doing more trips don't forget the fuel cost.
Not sure if you know that you can split your shopping into maybe two lots of €25 instead of one €50
Would this be of any help??I 'lost' my €5 off voucher when I went on holidays as they changed it to one week duration. I am shopping in Lidl since as I was hoping they might send me a voucher to entice me back via Value Club but no luck so far. I have certain stuff I buy in Dunnes to make use of the voucher but so far I either buy them individually or go elsewhere.
Would this be of any help??
"Customers who spend €/£10 or more on qualifying Textile products will be issued a €/£5 off €/£25 grocery Shop & Save voucher"
Also what's the story with all the excluded stores, seems a bit unfair??
