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.

Where did you find Tesco dippers are made from 100% breast?

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.

The only bargain I've seen in a good while.

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.

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)

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.

I can't seem to find the Tesco vouchers thread (if anyone would like to enlighten me).

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......

Tesco in Cashel (co. Tipperary) is doing 25% of all meat fish and poultry.

It is not online on tesco.ie so seems it's not every Tesco.

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)

Been following this thread for months and have picked up a few bargains cos of it! Cheers for the pineapple heads up....will have to pick up a few when I'm shopping tomorrow. If I open a large tin most of it goes in the bin cos I only want a small bit, but the rest in the fridge and find it three weeks later when its no longer at its freshest :O

That's good for the 7-Up. I often see 2 for €3 so that's a definite bargain.
