As stated by Arriba Coleview shop sells eight magners for a fiver. Sainsburys are selling 24 Carlsberg or Fosters for a ten sheet. Anyone else have any offers they know about that fit the 'bargain' bill?

For those who believe all mas brewed lager tastes the same - Tesco's 4% Dutch Lager is £2.28 for 4 500ml cans.

In a blind taste test at a recent bbq, none out of six mates identified this cheap offering from a line-up also including Fosters, Carslberg, Carling and 4% Stella.

I always check prices on http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/

4% stella is horrible.one of the worst lagers i've tasted.

When does that Sainsbirys deal finish?

Not a clue chap.
Agreed. Heineken used to be cheap in Tesco, used to buy 4 for £2.71 think its gone up alot recently though.

I don't usually drink a lot of lager, however I got 2 boxes of Stella (18 x 284ml bottles in each) and a box of Magners (12 x 440ml bottles) for £20 from Tesco.
Plus a bottle of Grant's whisky (70cl) reduced from £15.49 to £10.

There's a reason for that!

You could wring out the contents of my youngest's wet nappy, add that to your taste test line up...and I doubt anyone would know any different even then.

My beers are sorted, got some free Canadian beers as I work for a pub company and asked Molson Corrs for some, 24 cans of Molson Canadian, 24 bottles of Moosehead! Job done! :)

I buy beer, I get to drink it.

Deal done.

I never used to like Heineken but went to the brewery in amsterdam on my stag do and got fucking paraletic on it. Not as bad as i thought it was

I agree. Real Dutch Heineken isn't a bad drop. Amstel is good as well.

Worst beer ever for a hangover? Portuguese "Super Bock". Fuck me, the bastard stuff is deadly

All Hieneken in this country is now the proper imported shit, not the piss they used to brew over here and pass of as heineken.  I love it. As above, Amstel is good too.

4 x pint cans of Strongbow for £4 in Delta News.

£1 a pint beats ridiculous pub prices.

But pubs are great!  You're paying for more than the cost of your drink when you buy a pint at the bar.  If your objective is simply to get trashed as cost effectively as possible, I agree...but a good pint in a good pub always tastes better.

Really ?,you work for a pub company ?

I had no idea either.

nor me

He's never mentioned it before.

I wonder what his take is on these supermarket drinks deals?

Shhhhhhhhhh

He doesn't like to talk about such things on public forums.

 :D

poor old Gazza

My opinion means fuck all the same with anyone who works in a pub, only way to get punters back is make booze cheaper than the supermarkets (meaning about £1.20 a pint). It won't happen so bye bye the British Pub, end of really. Most pubs sales have been shit even with the World Cup so pretty much face the reality that booze is cheaper elsewhere so why go to a pub when you can get pissed for about half the price at home?

The smoking ban really hasn't helped either

The good pubs will survive.  The bad ones will close.  I may not work in the pub trade, but I know I'm right on this one.

A few cans in my fridge which i'll sell for 50p each

Did anyone else do that Home Draught thing?  If so, how long does the voucher take to arrive?

It is all about supporting a local.

I think since I started my new job, I've spent around 60% of my earnings in the pub.

Who else can claim such dedication?

Joey Beauchamp

Just put 45 bottles of San Miguel in mine and I ain't selling

 :D

The World cup is less than a week old. All games are being shown on terrestrial tv. There has been one England game, on a Saturday - prime home party/barbeque time. A bit early to say it's been 'shit' I would say.

Dropping the price in pubs is not the only way to get punters back - they have to make it a more attractive proposition than staying at home somehow. Good pubs find a way to do this and will survive.

Lastly, do you see the paradox of moaning about the demise of the British pub (and therefore your job), whilst bragging about scrounging free booze from a supplier ?

I do accept that the current (and short term) economic situation makes it very difficult for pubs, but it's no different to the rest of industry - strong organisations will adapt and survive, others will go under.
At the end of the day though, that's just my opinion.

Ah but reason about bragging and scrounging etc is more about they give the beers to me to see if I want to stock them in our pubs. Its not a case of asking because I never have, They always send beers etc. If you like them etc. and they build a trading relationship with you then it bodes well for the future. Also get shit like Baccardi and shots etc I give away to others.

In terms of making pubs more appealing, not sure really how to do that and thats maybe the problem, before it was aobut the social aspect. Even coming home at 2 in the morning smelling of fags in a pub, it was part of the night really. Way back when the pub was part of the local community etc. you would go down have a pint etc and chat about football where as now, internet etc replaces needing to go out with mates to talk about footie etc to an extent.

It's more evolution really, like everything all good things must come to an end really. Turning pubs and bringing back smoking would not see massive increase in pubs re-opening,. As said before something needs to draw punters in. Sky is trying with 3D FOOTBALL but next season that will be available at home anyway!

so full of shit Gazza

Had a few of them tonight have we, little contradiction, stand to be corrected though  ???

 :sherlock:

A very much appreciated tip here, thank you thank you thank you

Im enjoying a can now :)

Gazza you say most pubs are dead, well the Blunsdon Arms is rammed nearly every night. Not just with people eating but with drinkers aswell.

I know you're talking about a general trend here, but what you're glossing over is that there are many pubs out there that are still the hub of the local community.

Anyway, instead of doing your level best to help kill off the pub trade by advertising cut price loss-leader deals at local off licences, why not big up Your Five Favourite Pubs (http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,39518.msg839874/topicseen.html#new) instead and give them some free advertising?

Didn't see that thread!

Yes asked in so much do they do them and they sent them, didnt ask for them to be sent to me for free.

Fucking hell !

Molson Corrs had some Molson Canadian ?

Unbelievable !

No ............................... quite literally

Im having a sneaky BBQette on Sat - brought 10 Bottles of bud in Teskio and got a free ice bucket jobbie!

When shall we all come over?

OK but no drowning all my girlies in the hot tub?! ;)

Oh and Ill be dressed as a cow girl!

I'll behave...

I won't.

Whats a bbqette? If it's what I think it is then a woman on a bbq is a big no no.

Ah Molson own the group with Corrs but dont stock Molson products over here, Sounds daft I know..... Howver Molson and Labbatts used to be readily available over here at one time, not so much now ofcourse.

no Sippo its just means a small BBQ!

For the love of God, stop digging.

I'd thought I'd better bump this thread as I've got a couple of exclusive deals for TEF'ers.

As mentioned on this thread, Coleview Express has got an 8 pack of Magners cans (440ml) for a fiver. Well I know the owner, and after showing him that his shop was mentioned, he has offered an exclusive deal...TEF'ers can buy 2 of these boxes for £9.

But that is not all, he has a deal on Italian wine (red and white), which is currently 3 bottles for £8.50 or 6 for £16. For TEF'ers, it'll be 3 bottles for £8 or 6 for £15 (which works out at £2.50 a bottle).

If you want to buy any of these two deals, when you buy them at the till, quote 'The TEF Magners deal' and/or 'The TEF Wine deal' , and you will be charged the prices above.

The prices will be available whilst stocks last.

Fucking hell, nice work!

bugger.went in there this morning and bought 8 cans.

Sorry, but I was only discussing these offers with him just before he left for home, just before 1pm.

You'll just have to buy a couple more later on...

i'll deffo pop back in during the week.
drank 8 last night so the others will go down the neck later.just the right amount for a mellow evenings drinky poos

He's only got about 40 boxes left. He saw them going cheap a few weeks back at cash and carry, so he cleared them out.

having checked the cans i can see why they are so cheap.they go out of date on the 26th

Get em down your neck quick then

always a steady pace for me.they'll be gone by the end of the evening

That might make it a problem selling it, but it certainly won't go off in your cupboard for at least 100 years.

Aye.

I tried this and the guy behind the counter didn't have a fucking clue what I was going on about.
So I got no TEF deal and made myself look a cunt :D

Sounds like someone has been taking the piss, I doubt it but possible?

I don't know who you spoke to, but it is legit. In fact I was discussing with the owner yesterday whether we could extend it to other alcoholic products.

Easy done......I do it most days!

He was a tall Asian guy.
