      Thanks, but this offer is NOT a duplicate. It is from Dan Murphy's where we BEAT the free VB offer by also giving customers the choice to get a free James Boag's Premium Lager instead.

          Who cares about who thought of it first, does it really matter? Most (marketing) ideas are not original in the first place and nearly all ideas and inspiration ultimately come from somewhere else.

        Yeah, this neg/pos feature on comments is pretty much a dud. Not sure what it ultimately achieves accept giving bored people like me something to do.

        There are a surprisingly high number of users on OzB concerned about their e-popularity.

        I'm too old to worry about that kind of thing……if I like the taste…..I like it irrespective of what bottle it's in….would have been happy with VB, but will be happier with Boags :)

        It's just branding. People who get all tied up about drinking VB in preference to brand X, Y or Z are doing the corporate master's bidding. The board members love to see the little people fight between themselves over a brand. It's rather sad.

    Anyone know offhand which of these papers is the cheapest?

    Because if any are below $1.95, then it makes a carton of Boag's cheaper, as DM's sell them for $47 ;)

    • hoiboy on 07/01/2011 - 18:53

      Does Boags sell for $47 these days?! Wow. It's a pretty ordinary beer - it should be maximum at the Tooheys Extra Dry/New/Carlton Draught level (~40 a case).

      At $47 that's more expensive than Coopers and Hahn Superdry and barely cheaper than Monteither or Asahi (when on sale)!!

      Geez, if you have to be pedantic, you can walk into a Maccas and take the coupon from one of the newspapers they have for customers. And comment reported for language.

      • mick01 on 07/01/2011 - 21:41

        Sorry the 's' word offends but it won't let me edit my post now.

        Not being pedantic. I haven't bought a paper in years - I read it online. Can't see why I'd want to spend money buying a crappy (is that better) newspaper so I can get a 'free' crappy beer.

          Funny how one synonym is OK, but not the other. Either way it is a good metaphor for news Ltd.

          But the beer is good! And nobody forces you the read the paper :-) Use it in the birdcage.

      Hehe.. yeah, fair point, if you buy the paper anyway it is free. And I do need a hug LOL :)

      I know I come across as negative, but I was thinking that if someone (eg COTD) posted a deal in Freebies that you had to buy something in order qualify, the negative votes would be off the scale! :)

      Judging by the positives for this deal, it's pretty clear nothing sells like an offer of 'free beer' though. COTD take note :)

  • beachmuscles on 07/01/2011 - 21:30

    All right First Choice - Nobody Beats Dan Murphy's, they have up the ante with a bottle of Boags (which is far superior to VB), your slogan is "If you find a cheaper liquor price elsewhere we'll beat it' i now want a better free beer - maybe even two to ensure your slogan stay's true to me.

          I understand that there are ppl that like a good beer and there are ppl who would never touch beer and there are also ppl who don't know how they ever survived without beer.. where I live, it's socially accepted that ppl can have their own opinions. I personally don't see myself ever touching alcohol, because it has no appeal to me. I think if you need to get drunk to have a good time at a party then you're doing it wrong. :/ You also seem to be somebody that doesn't like alcohol and that's great. Enjoy your liver then. There are also people who do actually like sensibly drinking alcohol and they have made the decision to drink it and that's also socially acceptable where I live. I'm not quite sure where you're living…

    Rumour has it that Daniel Francis Murphy (founder of Dan Murphy's) was accused of committing some serious crimes against children, and that his brother had a lot to do with the cover up.
    He's long dead now, but still.. it's enough to make me avoid getting my liquor from 'em.
    Anyone else heard this?

      No, I had not heard of it. And frankly, even if it was true, I doubt anyone should really care. Dan Murphy's is owned by Woolworths (ASX:WOW) now. Any allegation is unproven until it goes through court. Besides all that, even if the rumour were true why should it stop people buying at the store? Should people never buy a Toyota, Mazda or Mitsubishi because 70 years ago they supported Imperial Japan's war effort?

    This is clever marketing as the coupon was intended for Liquorland, 1st Choice etc. Basically, the Coles group. But Dan Murphy is accepting a competitors coupon so they must be making a loss to attract traffic.

    • beachmuscles on 08/01/2011 - 18:49

      Difference is, that Liquorland/First Choice, would have had a deal with VB and News Limited to share the costs, Dan's is paying it out of their very full Woolworths pockets. To be honest the people thinking the the sky is falling in rushing in to get their free $2.70 can of VB (after paying $1.50 for their paper) aren't the type of people, filling their exotic and rare wine collection from Dan's, so really they ain't getting too much out of it. Maybe they need to come up with their own idea rather than stealing it from Coles all the time?
