Pizza, onion rings and a 4 pack Stella? When did Waitrose go so upmarket?

Lol! Stupidest, but funniest, comment ever.

But a pint isn't a litre - a pint is 568ml...

1 pint = 1 litre = 1 facepalm

Monday 17th April and just 36hrs left to buy/auto-claim this offer. Grabbed a final set today as frankly the battered onion rings proved to be too delicious to resist!

Update: Tuesday 11th April and offer IS still running [no more need for beer battered onion rings so no more purchases lol]. So still no reason to believe it won't continue to be available for purchase in-store (or delivery by) Tue 18/4 as originally promoted.

Just personally to confirm in-store shoppers - this offer REMAINS AVAILABLE at today's date Tue 4/4 ie the till computer says yes "Beer Pizza Rings £5 [ie] -3.88" and from the original listing should remain available until Tue 18/4!

Though it'll annoy the customer services desk if a supervisor isn't close if you ask for a price-check as price-check only works on a single item not a combo set of three items, so they have to put it through as if selling to see what the bill total/discounts it to; and then it requires a supervisor to void the sale. This is because basket includes alcohol; apparently a measure to deter staff from running through alcohol without pre-checking age-qualified first!

As previously personally reported in this thread it WAS definitely available in-store and I'd expect the offer to continue to be 100% the same online and in-store, like anything else you see on the Waitrose website, and it's not due to end until Tue 18/4.

Will certainly validate that it's STILL available IN-STORE (for the second time, the first time it showed on in-store receipt as "** Beer Pizza Rings £5 ** -£3.88" ) in the next few days.

If you DO want the deal in-store and don't want to "embarass yourself" by checking it really is discounted at the till, just take the three items to the customer services desk first and get them to do a price-check for you!

​Lots of people got it instore when I posted the deal. They may have stopped it now.

If 1 pint = 1 litre = 1000ml does 1000p = a tenner :-D

I asked Waitrose via Twitter and they told me it was on line home delivery only - not in store

Excludes Waitrose in London where they don't bother with deals. Cold.

give the Stella away

they are not cans, they are bottles

Hoping so...

​it is in store they just havent advertised it. if you buy all the products it will be £5

Thanks that explains why, despite searching high and low, I couldn't find the offer in store today:(

Middle/Upper class supermarket.

With council beer!

In case anyone else wasn't aware this is online only - not available in store

I agree, 4 halves are much easier to manage than 8 quarters.

I'm just laughing at the comments regarding a pint being equal to a litre. Good deal but if I could give more heat, I would- specifically for the laughs in the comments!

I cut mine into 12, I was starving.

Now that I've established 1 pint = 1 litre, I've also decided to get this deal & cut the pizza into 4 slices instead of 8 as I'm not sure I can manage 8...

Thanks Op.

Got this today, nothing on the shelves indicating this offer, but just scan all 3 items through and the deal comes up!
Sorry to my local store for letting one of the Stella bottles slip out and smash on the floor! Still it was a bit if drama in a dull store. Bottles are made of glass folks take care!

Heat added !

A litre of water's a pint and three quarters...

Yes, but if £40 = £20, then £20 = 1000p. Hence no problem.

There is £40 min spent, innit?

Wow.
Just wow.

stella beer and beer battered onion rings!!!!! very alcoholic deal.

What about an alternative for non-alcoholics :wink:?

A litre of Stella is a pint as well..a

​Take no notice of the haters, they don't realise we now live in a post-truth world. You probably have a job waiting for you in the Trump administration..

stella gets a bad name

good beer

miles better than heineken or fosters or thai beer

Yes only Stella Artois and then ONLY in that particular 4x330ml bottles: just follow the 'Get deal' link - it goes to the Waitrose website page with the specific products you can buy ie the Stella and rings and your choice of one pizza from the half-dozen in their range.

If the products are available then the promo is available - just "ask the computer"...
see "** Beer Pizza Rings £5 ** -£3.88" saving on the store receipt.
(If you're not 100% confident I'm right, then take the beer, rings & chosen pizza to the customer service desk and ask them to do a price query for you.)

Stella and pizza classy, that's sort thing youd expect from the lower end of the supermarkets trade, I would have expected a quality red or white Italian wine from Waitrose

Not available in the mountsorrel store! There goes my romantic night in!

Heat added - could someone that's been in confirm it's only Stella though please as don't like lager ? Thanks .

What a legend just bought a 4 pint milk from the same shop this guy buys his Stella and it won't fit in the fridge

I feel a bit sorry for them now: to not only type something really stupid and repeat it, but to do it on a deal that has gone really hot so more people see it! It's a lesson for everyone though, if you are going to be a smart-****, make sure you are actually in the right first. :smiley:

Voted hot for showing me that the school system has officially gone to pot.

I've gave your comment heat in hope that your stupid a$$ goes to the top. :stuck_out_tongue:

If a pint was a litre, I'd be on my back after a few. :confused:

Hang on a minute. There is BEER in the onion rings. Therefore it may well be the full-sized continental litre pints in this offer and not the deceptive quarter pints after all!!

Reminds me of this for some reason. :smiley:

Go back to school.

Erm

All they need to do is throw in a packet of tissues and these will go flying off the shelf

This thread is hilarious :laughing:

I think you need to be staying off the Stella .:laughing:

Look at the deals this user has posted - gamer, nuff said.

I've never heard of a litre, having never been to the Continent.

Anyway, just going to fuel my car, they have 3p per pint off at Asda when you spend 20 shillings in store.

If you hold a 330ml can close to your face with one hand, then a pint can in the other hand at arms length then the 330ml can is bigger and therefore has more volume and therefore more larger. Simple

I desperately need your advice?
I went to fill the car up and they sell it in litres but my jerry can holds pints. My brain has entered a kind of paradox state, I'll just wait here until you respond...

Cold pizza and warm beer ..

Voted cold because I don't drink

1 pint = 1 litre = 1 facepalm

Thread of the week, 10/10 would read again.

Who are Waitrose trying to appeal to with this? not their usual clientele

Not a very good deal really. Often get decent pizzas for £2, onion rings for £1, and bottles of beer average 50p each if you buy a crate.

From the picture as well, it looks like it's one of those pesky "glass" cans as well.

btw, 330ml is 60% of a 568ml pint.

I read threads like this and sob at the fact some of these people are allowed to vote! Democracy, a fab idea - but some people need looking after!

'Amount of volume'. A+ for English and Physics!

I reckon since the deal was posted about getting a coffee in the canteen with the waitrose card, there has been an influx of HUKD's types..hence the need to include us all with obscure deals like this...to be fair its a good deal will go in later on the way home and get one each for all the family..thanks OP

Yep the onion rings are "whole British onion rings coated in a crisp light batter made with Dorset ale" and 55% onion
rather than reformed from diced onion and breadcrumbs as many cheaper ones are eg essential Waitrose's own.

Picked up the deal in-store today ie "** Beer Pizza Rings £5 ** -£3.88" saving on the store receipt.

There was ZERO indication in the area of any of the products (in 3 areas of the store) that they were part of any offer! With 6 pizzas and the onion rings needing to be freezer cabineted, they would have to devote about half their 'freezer offer' display cabinet [end of aisle] + stack the bottled beer nearby somehow, which I guess is logistically difficult particularly as this is quite a LONG term offer running for FOUR WEEKS from today to Tue 18/4

The free hot drink is available to ALL myWaitrose card holders...
http://www.waitrose.com/home/mywaitrose/free_tea_or_coffee.html

Any Santander cashback offer is specific to each account holder though!
eg I currently have a 5% Waitrose and a 10% Morrisons (and of course each cashback is only for ONE spend by a deadline), but another family member has neither, while you have 10% Waitrose.

Good reminder though to Santander account holders to check their their "Offers" as any cashback offer has to be activated/claimed before it can be exploited.

And 95% of Lager is water...so...that makes it just 0.3% of a litre is actually Lager. Terrible.

One pint is actually 1.934 x (10 to the minus 62) cubic kiloparsecs. Whereas 330ml is 1.123 x (10 to the minus 62) cubic kiloparsecs. I hope that clears it up.

I'd love it if it had changed at some point since the introduction of the metric system... talk about confusing matters

Brilliant, thanks for the laugh. Much needed on a grey day.

"In England we call it a pint and on the continent they call it a litre". Stated with such authority was the best bit. Bloody foreigners! Why can't they just call it a pint as well and save the confusion?!

Somewhere a village is missing an idiot......

Sure that Waitrose knew what they were doing when they put this deal together so that such a stir would be created on this site, had me in stitches, can't wait for their next deal, suggestions please :smiley:

Also Santander current account holders get 10% cashback at Waitrose right now. How does the free coffee offer work?

Looks good for Waitrose...their onion rings have great reviews. Stella 330ml bottles x4 around £2.80 on offer generally, so onion rings and pizza for a quid makes this hot.

Its glass bottles in the offer not cans anyway.

The glass bottles are 330ml, which is a fairly standard glass bottle size (sometime you get 275ml).
Cans are normally 440ml, 500ml or a pint (568ml).
A half pint is 284ml, so these bottlesare about 0.6pints.

The quicker we get out of the EU the better for you. Then you will only have to deal with Pints and we might go back to Feet and Inches and also 240 Pence to the £1 and get rid of those silly Kilos i'm sure that will make it easier for you !

That can would be 1m cube, or if a regular diameter beer can would be 340 meters high

A pint and a litre are the same volume??? Pints, litres, whatever you've already been at the Stella that's for sure.

Have you seen the large Stella cans which are 568ml? They are pint cans..

Sweet and fantastic price for the food, this is my love....:innocent:

and a Mile and a Kilometer are actually same distance, same with Ounces and Kilos :confused:

I think, the fact its 4 bottles will help people identify that they are not getting 4 cans

Shame about it being Stella for the beer

They are bottles......

Also need to factor in that 3ml of your can is used up making the tssk noise when you open it.

Used to be 2ml but then brexit happened.

think they may have been on the Stella already

Not drunk Stella in any moons but while passing the store ( if I remember ) will pick this deal up. Great post Op Heat

Funniest thread of the week award :stuck_out_tongue:

Me thinks they actually were serious, then maybe googled it.. lol

Unexpected gold in the comments. Not one of my teachers at school told me a pint = a litre. Off to see if I can sue them for erroneous education....
Heat added it's a cracking deal.

​You serious? Hard to tell.

But what if I pour it out in a pint glass? Will it hold all 4 of them cans or I only need a half pint glass for the 4 cans as I don't plan to hold the air and the froth anyway I like to separate them when I drink my lager so basically what I want to know is can I drink all four cans of this but out of a half pint glass so when my mum says I'm an alcoholic I can say "talk to the hand dear it was only half pint" but whilst I say this I am fully expected to be as punch drunk as one can be from 4 cans of lager?!

If the answer is yes I vote it hot otherwise COLD!

Remember the can walls are 4% thicker on the 330ml's to stop the large volume of air seeping through, which reduces the volume of Stella further to around 6% of a litre pint.

Pro rata.

It's possible to drink a large case of 24 and still drive as you will have drunk less than 2 pints. That's in old money. Now they don't make cases of 24 round glass bottles it's all in metric packs of 10 square plastic litre cartons to fit in the fridge.

Err no.1 litre is 1.76 pints.

Been that since the beginning of the introduction of the metric system.​

​You mis calculate as you forgot that most of a tiny can is actually froth so you'll be lucky if you get 7% of a proper pint.

To add to that, most of the can will be air to prevent the Stella from being damage in transit, so it's more like 10% of a litre/pint.

If a pint is a litre then one litre = 1000 ml.

Therefore the small Stella bottle is a THIRD of a pint. Just a bit more than a quarter I grant you but still no where near a pint which is what most people will think a four pack of lager is, namely 1000 litres per can.

Talk about ooc

Lol! Stupidest, but funniest, comment ever.

A pint and a litre are actually the same amount of volume. In England we call it a pint and on the continent they call it a litre. A litre holds 1000 ml. The cans of Stella are only 330 ML, therefore they are only a third of a litre / pint. Imagine ordering a drink in a bar and only getting a thrid of a pint pot. Thats what you are getting in each of these Stella cans.

good deal but odd that it's waitrose, bit downmarket

No more free coffee..

WARNING - the Stella cans are only 330ml - this is NOT a full can size, not a pint - only about a quarter of a pint probably.

this is not normal lol

Yeah, I don't drink anything other then vodka, not even soft drinks! Lol joking.. but yeah I saw it and assumed it was full size bottles..

And much much much smaller than usual cans of beer. People may be bamboozled into thinking they are getting a normal 4 pack of BIG cans.

They are not however.

STELLAAAAA!! :laughing:

Heat, PURELY for the Stella.

this is dope!!!!!

The pizza's free if you buy a case of Bud for £10.

What happens in I buy the Bud AND the meal deal? Will it give me the meal deal for £5.00 and then take the cost of the pizza off too?

a bit low-rent for Waitrose :confused:

great excuse to chin her indoors for burning the cheap tasteless cardboard pizza....sorry about last night love the stella went right to my head

Weirdest meal deal I've ever seen.

Pizza, onion rings and a 4 pack Stella? When did Waitrose go so upmarket?
