My son bought a toasted sandwich maker earlier today for €14 which is a decent price. That was in Letterkenny so I assume they're available nationwide.

I don't really have a problem with the staff getting a share of the bargains I know if I worked there I would!!!

Same here, but if I was the head honcho/store manager in Tesco and we were advertising deals/loss leaders to get people into the stores and I found out that the staff were not putting the reduced price stickers on the products or hiding the stock out back I'd be very pissed off.

It would make me feel that the staff thought I was a push over that never checked the floor, i.e not doing my job, staff running the show.

We all like to get a bargain, but some like to get them all.

Dont know if these have already been posted:

2x1kg boxes of cornflakes for €6
Mcvitties chocolate digestives 400g Buy 1 get 1 free. €2.59 I think and cheaper than the multipack.

When I was in tesco in Tullow Carlow earlier in the week they had mcvitaes dark chocolate hobnobs for 59c and they were also included in the Buy 1 get 1 free which I thought was a great bargain

thesandeman · 15-09-2012 3:44am

Similar to the Kit-Kat posts: Tesco Galway have various choc bars half price for 4 packs @around 1.15
However if you turn right just before the milk shelf there is a display of Crunchie 4+50% free which scan at the same price. So six bars for the price of two.
Stocked up myself but still plenty left around 9 last night. Honeycomed out at the moment!

siber · 15-09-2012 9:43am

Check out the frozen food section in your local Tesco's. In Athlone yesterday they had marked down lots of products. Looks like they may be discontinuing some of them.

Items such as
Tesco own Brand Pizza's for 99 cent
Bag of 32 fish fingers for €1.99

and lots of other items reduced.

The_Conductor · 15-09-2012 10:14am

Tesco Maynooth
Youngs Lightly battered large cod fillets - 2 for 2 Euro
No reduced tag- just a normal white price tag.
Nothing else writing about from the frozen aisles

lindtee · 15-09-2012 10:25am

Just reading there on hukd that the horse riding gear is reduced to clear in the UK Tescos so it is worth checking to see if they are reduced here. In Cork the only Tesco I know that does it is Douglas.

Never seen any horsey gear in any Tesco in Dublin, Lidl yes, must be a Cork thing.

Tesco Parnell St had Lynx Musicstar shower gel advertised at 82c last night, alas there was zero stock. Not sure if its nationwide.

tayto lover · 15-09-2012 2:18pm

Went into Tesco in Dundalk this morning to get a cooked chicken for lunch it being Saturday and all. I couldn't believe that the small chicken that was 5e last week is now 6.09e. The lad on the deli counter told me that it's because chicken feed has risen in price. The little fcukers looked like they never got fed. I left him with them as i don't like being ripped off.

shaddupayaface · 15-09-2012 3:10pm

Mb twister game in jervis this morning for €4.58. There were maybe 4 or 5 left.

Feed prices are sky high however with the farmers getting as little as 58 cents per chicken the feed prices would have to triple to push the overall cost up a euro and 9 sents. More lightly the extra euro is to pay the chickens air fare from thailand.

ladypip · 15-09-2012 7:14pm

Killarney (Deerpark): in the toys aisle on a pillar (very handy btw

), it's on the left hand side if you walk straight in towards the TVs. Then there is another one in one of the aisles closer to the very back of the store where the water and sweets are sold.
Tralee (Manor): on the back wall next the bakery department, I think there is a staff door right next to it. Just walk past the fish and hot food counters towards the crisps and nuts, then it's to the left on the wall.

livEwirE · 17-09-2012 11:56am

Is there a self scanner in Tesco Maynooth and if so, where is it please?

Neither have worked in at least a year, to be honest. If they even turn on- all they'll say is something along the lines of 'Please bring product to a Sales Assistant'........ Bit pointless.

The one in Naas extra has been broken for the last few weeks despite several reminders to them to fix it.
Looks like they don't want us finding the mis-priced bargains!! :-)

rameire · 17-09-2012 2:12pm

just stuck a query on their facemuck page under the price news posting, to ask about the price checkers.

vicwatson · 17-09-2012 4:14pm

3 that were in Wexford store don't work either.

Lets know what they say via faceybookey.

There are supposed to be 3 in Wexford .. just know of the one around the Households aisle . where are the other 2?

Gormal · 17-09-2012 7:10pm

Thankyou Quaderno they really like to hide that one in Tralee huh! I think I'll be heading to Killarney more often as that store is way better and more likely better stocked

I was reading on a Uk forum that they aren't fixing them but removing them instead. And they were saying not to leave stuff around them and to put notes in the suggestions box?? Now where would we find the suggestions box.........lol suppose thats well hidden if they even exist

There is one in Naas extra still working. It's on a pillar beside a counter in ladieswear (near the underwear so make sure you know where the exits are)

None of them work, last time I was in there there was one at the households as you say, one down by the Coca Cola aisle and can't remember for the life of me where the other one was, maybe the bread aisle, there was deffo 3 though as I went to all three one day to suss out an item and all were bust.

€5.00 for the first to get the answer right
