Now fans can save more on their top up shop and “shrink your bill at the till”.
The €3 off €15 discount vouchers were rolled out at the end of August in a move widely welcomed by shoppers with open hands.
It has been such a success that the supermarket giant has now extended the promotion until Friday October 4.
All you have to do is spend between €15 and €24.99 to be able to scan the discount code.
Consumers will be able to save on groceries besides alcohol.
But remember, the vouchers do not apply to Dunnes Stores fashion or home goods.
Commenting on their popular discount scheme, Dunnes Stores chiefs said: “Our iconic €10 off €50 vouchers help you save on your final bill.
“For every €50 you spend, €10 will be deducted.
“So, your shop worth €50 will only cost you €40, likewise your shop worth €100 will only cost you €80.
“€10 off €50 Vouchers will be applied up to the value of €150, excluding alcohol.
“When you shop in-store, your valid vouchers will be applied when you present them at the till using our app or your paper receipts.”
And there are other terms and conditions to note when using these discounts.
The retailer said: “If qualifying items are returned, thereby reducing the value of the original transaction to below the qualifying threshold.
“The value of the corresponding voucher(s) will be deducted from the refund unless the voucher(s) issued in the original transaction are returned at the same time.
“Copied, damaged or defaced vouchers will not be accepted.
“Voucher(s) cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional voucher offer.
“Validity dates are displayed on voucher and cannot be honoured once expired.”
And there is another list of prohibited items that can’t be counted towards the total costs.
These items include, tobacco, medicines, infant milk formula, lottery products, checkout bags, savings stamps, gift vouchers/cards, and mobile top-up & items purchased for resale.
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
