This goclever tablets are crap , haven't seen any positive reviews , they got one star on amazon , so you may want to add few euro and get a normal tablet if needed.

These really are crap. Not worth getting for even the most basic of use.

I have to say I got the 10.1" one of these last month and haven't had any problems with it so far, using it for the internet and games but mostly using it as an ereader using the kindle app

Loads of boxes of biscuits,chocolates etc. being cleared in Tesco Gorey,opposite the shelves of Easter eggs.Mostly Xmas stuff but dated until mid 2015 on a lot of it.My 2 yr. old didn't care,a chocolate reindeer or bear tastes nice no matter the time of year.

You forget though 99% of folks here are borderline kleptos this and other such cheap crap feeds their habits.

Obligatory bargain time again, giant kitkat bar with 8 regular sized kitkats inside is down to €1.75 in the christmas isle. 4 regular, 2 peanut and 2 orange inside.

Stationery - Sharpie 24 pack of permanent markers
Promotional '80's Glam' pack (lots of interesting psychedelic colours you've never seen Sharpies in before (and are unlikely to- ever again)).
Reduced SEL = 13.00, scanning 10.00

Tenner for a 24 pack of Sharpies- if you use these at all, its a no-brainer.......

Philips YS521 razor/trimming set in tesco Roscommon €24.99. £38 on amazon.

I just scanned all the ones on the shelf, there was another model 761 or something half price but it has the lift and cut blades that I don't like.

9 pack of tayto, cheese and onion or mixed bag for €2, they are near the tills as you walk in, in balbriggan - guessing it's a weekly special. They have €2 printed on the bag.

Also malteeser reindeers (same as bunny ones for easter ) are 22c each, they also have a box of about 5 mini ones for about €1.30.

They were that price a few weeks ago. The Asterix on the SEL means it is to clear and won't be restocked.

I considered the soundbar but the reviews of it aren't great.

Intel Celeron N2830 processor, according to http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/laptop/3580472/lenovo-b50-30-budget-laptop-review/

Would that be ok, for an older person for just browsing & for skype & no gaming, afaik? as i've heard somewhere that celeron's are slow?

Also: Unusually for a modern laptop, the Lenovo B50-30 also includes an optical drive, a tray-load DVD reader and writer.

What's the optical drive used for?

Thanks.

Spotted Lego Junior carry case for €12.75 in Limerick city. No yellow sticker but RRP is about €26.

nairy hipples · 03-02-2015 4:37pm

Might be a bit of a wild goose chase...

I was in Tesco Dundrum on Sunday and they had a random Wii U 8gb basic version behind the customer services desk (never saw any Wii U consoles or games in Tesco before!). I asked for a price check and it was €228.50.

Went back into the store today and asked for a price check and it was €114! Half price.
Very good price for what is a great console!

Might be worth keeping an eye out for however, like I said, never before seen any Wii U merchandise in Tesco...

In Maynooth about an hour ago, about 50 of the above left. Didn't buy one myself as we have more than one Monopoly game at home but you can't really argue with the price.

honerbright · 03-02-2015 11:28pm

Selected haagen dazs ice cream (€6.15) and Tesco Italian Pizza (€2.50) buy both together for €5 in Ballincollig today. Assume it's everywhere though

the groutch · 04-02-2015 1:08am

Haagen Dazs is regularly on offer for at around the €3 mark, and there are much better quality pizzas that Tesco's own brand regularly on offer for €2 to €2.50, so not that great a deal imo.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 8gb 7inch silver /white

Was €179 now €49

Barcode : 8806085144293

Haven't seen any around at all but if you call customer service maybe they can check the stock in stores.

Berty · 04-02-2015 1:13pm

Had barcode checked in a store for the tablet and it's basically out of stock and not listed. I've a few more stores to visit today so I'm keeping my eye out. They certainly have the tab 3 and 4 anyway in 3 stores so far.

dogtoffee · 04-02-2015 3:35pm

The bar code for that tab 2 scans at €124.76 it's in stock in a few of the stores all same price

Stuff 4 sale · 04-02-2015 4:09pm

Got some Christmas stock today, selection boxes €1.12, USA biscuits €2.74 large tin and a few other things. Not much left. Good date on some of the stuff.

Tesco Maynooth have a load of rolls of Christmas wrapping paper and cards going for between €0.12 and €0.14, I was there late yesterday. Also a load of Santa stop here signs and a few big Santa bags for putting presents in. A few other bits and bobs.. Now all I need to do is remember I bought this stuff come December lol!

athtrasna · 04-02-2015 11:36pm

Tesco on Upper Baggot Street have those long (1 metre?) Wispa bars (made up of many regular bars) for €1.50 down from €6. Lots of them there today, near the checkouts.

Made up of exactly 4 regular bars. Imagine paying €6 for 4 Wispas? For price comparison and Rip Off Ireland pricing, these were £3 STERLING in Norn Iron pre-Christmas and €6 here. That's some mark up for Tesco from the residents of Eire.

Not a Wispa eater but the OH is. Aren't 4 packs almost always on offer here for 99c - €1.49 anyway?

Wouldn't touch them. They've been switched on almost 24hours a day for several months - at least! I went into Maynooth Tesco about 4am on the way back from Galway one night before Christmas and they were switched on! about 6 people in the store at the time....

Buyer beware!

Be careful- several of their display models were damaged- one even had a broken screen. If you could get it at a knockdown price- and repair it- it would be a bargain- but for physically damaged stock- I'd want one hell of a bigger discount than this........

Why would that be a problem, Are they not designed to be left on 24 7?

Plain and simply, no. Notebooks/netbooks/laptops (whatever you want to call them) are not designed to be left on 24/7. I wouldn't go near them. They are well into their life usage at that point.

You can be certain the batteries will not have their designed lifespan- and as for the ones in Maynooth- check the screens very carefully- more than one has been damaged- and some of them badly.

moodrater · 05-02-2015 12:46pm

If they'll let you you could install a s.m.a.r.t utility and chec the disk hours and cycle count it will give you a good idea of how much its been left on.

In the latest weather reports, pigs have been reported flying in the general Maynooth area, and locals have been advised to take cover..........
