    I just bought a 500ml jar of KTC coconut oil in Tesco Clarehall for €1.99. I've wanted to try it for ages but never saw it cheaper than around €5. It seems to get good enough reviews too.

    Picked up a Sony PlayStation 3 Blu Ray Remote Control for €1 in Coonagh, Limerick the other day. I don't even have a PS3 anymore! I gave it to a mate in work who bought one recently.

    It's actually this version that I got for a euro.

    They have it in Tesco Clearwater Finglas too.

    Just to let you know ,it has been a lot cheaper than 5 Euro in the past . If you search the Chinese stores around the city centre you can pick it up for 3 euro , 3.20 (Asian store Drury Street) , 3.60 (Asian store at Jervis Luas) etc

    However 1.99 is a fantastic price. I expect Tesco to bump up the price once it becomes an established product for them. Thats what they do . every little squeeze helps them :)

    with thanks to CH30H, I picked up some of the uncle bens high fibre rice in Tescos Balbriggan this evening. mine was the 500g box and cost 74c (there were boxes of it on regular rice shelf and boxes on the clearance shelf near the crisps)

    248974.jpg?v=2

    I also saw plenty of Ragu Sauce jars for 59c and 63c (depending on flavour) in the clearance section also

    In tescos balbriggan today I also bought some baby moisturiser for myself (baby section - I have sensitive skin so I like this aisle), price €1.50 it's really nice.

    Earth Friendly Baby Soothing Chamomile Body Lotion - 1 x 250ml

    310XpzqkBGL._SY300_.jpg

    Think I got a bargain as it's €6.59 in boots, the lavender one is also €1.50 but I don't like lavender

    I tried Clearwater this afternoon. No joy on the Callaway balls, sign on the shelf alright, but none there.

    Picked up these and checked price though. Came up at €5.00 but shelf price was €24.99. 36 balls for a fiver...sure I'll give it a whirl. They are sealed so couldn't open to check tip I got home. Took a few out and.......balls are awful, but I'll use them practising. Few more packs if anyone is interested, but I would be buying them again....grand for a beginner.


    If anyone spots the Callaway ones anywhere though, please let me know.

    I would rate them pretty equal. The tesco ones are 55% chicken, the birds eye are 50%.

    Not sure what your "versus" thing is about there, both birds eye and tesco dippers are simlarly made from chopped & shaped 100% chicken breast.

    Yep, 100% roast chicken always beats chicken dippers or similar! Dippers are fine but a bit bland for me, too expensive at normal price compared to €5/6 for a medium chicken which has far more flavour and versatility.

    I was using the info from the Tesco site. I guess Birdseye have better marketing "versus" Tesco. Usually if it doesn't state 100% chicken breast it usually misc chicken.

    @K-9 Rotisserie chicken is where it's at!

    €22.49 in Argos, reduced to €6.99 in Tesco. White label, good bit of stock about.

    Should this not be a Tesco bargain alert?
    I'm sure if we were all to use Argos as a price comparison and post about where items are cheaper then this thread would be very congested.

    Later today, when you read that back , you will realise that you just posted nonsense.

    The item is €6.99 in Tesco. for comparison it is €22.49 in Argos

    It's pretty cleat that if you were in the market for one, that the bargain is in Tesco.

    My apologies, I'm still half asleep, had two tabs open on my phone the Tesco thread and the Argos thread and got confused. My bad.

    Twice the Fibre Rice is not what it appears to be in the large print. Read the ingredients - the ones in small print.

    A significant proportion of the grains are not rice kernels at all but are instead formed pellets of pea flour and rice flour. IIRC it's more than 30% by weight. The dry pellets look quite like rice. The cooked pellets look a bit like discoloured rice but they REALLY don't smell or taste like rice. They smell and taste like sweepings from the floor.

    ugh :eek:. . . I haven't opened either of my 2 packets yet.

    So there was a reason why this product was reduced, thanks for letting me know. I stupidly though it was less processed or something.

    Yep. That's what we thought as well, until halfway through cooking it.

    Pile lots of curry sauce on it and put a clothes-peg on your nose. At least it'll keep you regular!

    the price is shocking too even if it was rice ... a 1kg of rice should cost roughly 1.19 euro .... not 6 euro or whatever it claimed to be originally for 500g... which puts a 1kg of this muck at 12 or 13 euro


    very late edit : 50 or 60 cent a Kg in Tesco in the North ... so truly we get ripped off here

    Not sure if it's been posted already but I picked up a 2D Cell Cree Tesco own brand torch for E11 yesterday in Tesco Lisduggan, Waterford. Previously it was E21. Its not "yellow labelled" as a bargain instore but the checkout assistant knew it was half price as I did ask her to check the price before putting it through. Nice torch by all accounts - not top quality compared to really dear ones I've seen, but still very serviceable.

    Supervalu Lucan have mailshot the entire area with spend 50 Euro get a tenner off vouchers, valid until the end of the month- and valid in Tesco, under their competitor's vouchers scheme.

    If you got mail crap in your door in the Lucan area yesterday/today- it probably has one of these vouchers in it somewhere......

    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.

    €0.66 (€2.55/kg)
