More Tesco Bargains [No Off-Topic Chat - See Post #1]

The Technika 3D bluray is also scanning at 1c.
Got the last one in Mahon Point.
There are 3 in Wilton that scanned in the price checker for 1c, but wouldn't scan at the tills. Saying item recalled or something. Weird that they scanned in Mahon.

Anyways, happy hunting.

Hope you reconsider.

The amount of 'PM me' vultures after this item was just amazing. It would be interesting to see how many bargains they had themselves posted in the past... :mad:

If you are one of the users that asked for a PM, but have previously posted bargain(s), then consider yourself excluded from the vulture club.

Why should it matter if someone asked for a PM or not? On what level is it right to come into a bargains thread & announce there is an electrical item scanning at 1c in Tesco but I can't tell you what it is. The reaction to it was completely understandable.

Ah the usual flogging of the dead horse that goes on here. I've posted lots of bargains throughout this thread and the previous tesco thread, not during this recent sale where the greediness and profiteering have been clear to see. I'm done with explaining myself to you lot. Thanks to those who posted and weren't directing ****e at me. I'm done with this thread now.

^ PM me, pretty please!

why did you post this ?

the only reason i can see is to tease people.

people dont like to be teased and thats why some people got annoyed

Maybe it was posted so people would know it's not actually available.

I didn't make it down to Maynooth tonight but from what I got last night it seems to be just some cds on sale for 1c in there, there were quite a few crappy dvds in the clearence bin though all marked at 50c or under, the only way you can find these bargains is by going in and scanning everything, I got a Clapton and Ed Sheeran cd each for 1c, paid full price for two 500ml bottles of Fanta to even things out, didn't even dawn on me to scan the bluray players though, important thing is to scan everything you can carry as you might get lucky, now I am off back to sleep off this stupid bug.

I'm sorry I ever opened my mouth about anything now. Do you think I'm happy that I got none? All i wanted was the one, Im not greedy. I had to collect my sons from school so was unable to check other stores. I had posted pages back about the possibility of items being reduced to one cent but no-one can be arsed to do the leg work themselves (or if they did they were sensible enough to keep their mouths shut). Lesson learned big time. Won't be doing it again. Have not seen this level of horribleness in a long time, especially given that the item was revealed several hours ago.

Well smartarse, get your facts straight.

It was I pm'd Lindtee the other day about the bargain after I spotted them in Douglas. I didn't buy any at the time and they were priced at €25, as had been posted in here weeks ago. Lindtee then posted here for all to see that they were reduced to 1c. She didn't pm me about it, so I found out about it at the same time as everyone else. It just so happened that I had an idea of what she was talking about.
As for getting 3, I only got 2....and neither were the 2900 model. I scanned two other types and got them. About half a dozen people pm'd me about my purchases and I told them what I'd bought. I also posted last night that there were 3 more in Wilton but they weren't scanning properly. So there's no great conspiracy.
As for my "friend" Lindtee. I only know her through boards and from the vast amount of bargains she'd post. I also knew she was from Cork and was looking for a bluray player. So I pm'd her to give her first chance of getting one at €25, as a thanks for all her bargains. If you think there's something wrong with that, well I'm afraid it says more about you than me.

As an aside, of all the pm's I replied to, only one replied in turn to thank me for the information. What does that tell ya?

Guys

Posters are not obliged to share deals here, no one is.

We are a community that relies on the sharing of information of our members (and the stealing of it from HUKD!)

I've tried to let this thread run with as little mod intervention as possible but it keeps getting rail roaded

So from here on in, unless your post is:

1) A bargain (e.g saw X was €5 in Athlone)

2) Update on the stock/price/location of a bargain (e.g. X was scanning at €10 in Galway, no X in Nenagh, still in Athlone behind the counter)

3) An alternative place to buy (e.g X is only €4 in Argos)

4) Question/Clarification/Info on the product (e.g. What version/weight of X is it?, I have X and its terrible)

Then no posting, 1 week ban if your post does not meet above criteria. (PM me if you think there is a valid post type I have missed please)

Big tins of Quality Street and Roses are reduced to €3.30 now! Expiration dates are August and October. I got one of each just for me and himself to nom on at home

After reading lindtree's posts, I went in search of the bluray player last night. Didn't find that but did find some DVDs scanning at 1c. Without reading lindtrees and other posts and knowing that people can actually find stuff for 1c, I wouldn't have been so persistent in price-checking items and wouldn't have found these. So thank you Lindtree!

DVDs I found for 1c - Ice Age and Scared Shrekless. This was last night in Claremorris. Today I say another Scared Shrekless in the pile of DVDs but it scanned at full price 5.99 I think. But maybe they are still available elsewhere for 1c.

Also, not great deals but still nice and found with Christmas stuff - 100g box of Butlers chocolates €1.62, 250g box of Lemon's Iced Caramels €1. Also sitting alone on an endcap Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml €2.34. I think this is a clearance item as there didn't seem to be an Filippo Berio with the other oils.

We must all be turning healthy and Tesco wants us to stay fat.

Loads of Xmas chocs and sweets in Tesco Clearwater, some with expiry dates to 2015. There about 2 hrs ago.

Quality Street Tins (plastic ones !!) €3.30
Freddo bars 9c
Love Hearts and Fruit Pastilles Tubes 62c
And loads of others

Also got 2 boxes of Tayto C&O, 20 pack, for €2.99.

Lots of stock of all the above

Got COD modern warfare 2 for ps3 on thurs in dundrum for 1cent. Was marked €5 but scanned cheap. Tried a few other dvds and games but no other discount to what was marked. There were a few CODs left though.

Was at self service till, yer one came over and took game off to manager but he approved the sale
