I got one a few weeks ago at the same price. Not sure if its any good for wiping feet. If it gets dirty its into the bin with it. Plus its very slippy on tiled or wooden floors.

Looks nice though.

thats good, and they are in pineapple juice. Some fruits are in syrup or other juices like cheaper apple juice.

Tescos own brand are strangely priced, the rings are 66c and the chunks are 95c. The 66c rings are 432g, so slightly less per gram than dole, the small tin suits me better though and dole are probably better.

The same tesco range have 227g for 83c! big tin is cheaper.

Tesco Pineapple Slices In Natural Juice 432G
€0.66 (€2.55/kg)

Tesco Pineapple Slices Natural Juice 227G
€0.83 (€6.11/kg)

Couldn't find the Dole pineapple, was it in a clearance area?

I've been seeing Kirstie Allsop stuff since Jan/Feb, but originally scanning at full price although marked as clearance. It used to be on an endcap, then they moved it into the stationery aisle and finally marked it down by 25%, but I think it's still way too expensive at that. Has anyone seen it at decent prices?

I'm also seeing bluetooth speakers in clearance but still only have 25% off although they've been in clearance area about a month. I'm waiting for them to be reduced more.

One example is this one - Divoom Bluetune Bean Bluetooth Speaker Red

Some strange ‘Make me an offer table’ in Tesco Naas this lunch time. I didn’t have time to get the details unfortunately. Suitcases seemed to be the most popular item, people going around with trolley loads, most people were struggling with three to four each. One of the labels I saw on a suit case was marked €7.00 down from €51.00.

"Make me an offer" promo is supposed to be on in Tesco Extra, Naas all weekend. Suitcase offer was stopped yesterday and the guy doing it got a right bollcocking from one of the managers. Apparently suitcases were not supposed to be included. Plenty of other stuff though. You have to go in each day to see what they bring out from their overstocked store-room. Nothing is pre-advertised. Wife got roasting tray with carving knife & fork for €2,Salter kitchen scales for €4 (originally €30 then down to €22), and kids bracelet making set for €4 (originally €30 then down to €19). Had to put suitcases back though.

Quick question: If I buy an electrical item in one Tesco store, can I get a refund in another?

Lucan store, possible nationwide:

Colgate Omron c350 electric toothbrush.

Was 80, now 40.

Also a novelty on the box, it says "powered by japanese technology." That probably means it comes in powder form and you add water before you shape it into a toothbrush with a tiny spatula.

Big new Tesco opening in Dundalk 2nd August. As a club card owner I got a brouchure in the post with three vouchers with €4 off €20 spend for each of the next three weeks. Dunnes have responded by putting a €10 off €40 spend voucher in the local papers. Applies to new Tesco and three Dunnes in Dundalk only. Bit of a mini price war.

The new Tesco also has petrol which may put downward pressure on prices locally.

Well it may be better than normal- but when you compare it with Dunnes and Supervalu doing the 18 pack at 6 and 5 Euro respectively- its only matching what their competitors are offering (though Supervalu do seem to be that little bit cheaper than elsewhere- when you factor the 10 off when you spend 50 into the equation- getting the per unit cost for the cans down to 22.2c per can- if you buy 10 trays of 18 for 40 Euro- i.e. 18 pack trays at 4 Euro each, but you have to buy 10 to get them at this price)........

Shop around- some surprises out there.

Not sure that it is a pricing error, I've been buying it at that price for at least 6 months, maybe closer to a year? Never posted it as a Tesco bargain alert as I had no idea it was a good price!

In Mahon Point, the blue Wingman stuff is marked at €2.80 but scanning at €4.35.

Qualifies for the double the difference refund.

Ditto- its been in or around this price forever. For the own brand stuff- its what it costs.

Tesco frequently have pricing inconsistencies between the small and large size of the same product, this was highlighted in an IT article recently. It always pays to check whether it's better to buy 2 of the small size as opposed to 1 of the large size
