I saw these at €1.12 each but if you bought 2 you paid €6. There are quite a few items that work out more expensive if you buy 2 of an item. :rolleyes:

I haven't heard of this.
So if you buy one it's on the bill as €1.12.
but if you buy two they appear as €3.00 each.

I thought so too, so I chanced it by buying 2 of the Tesco Finest chocolate truffle balls. They came up at 1.12 each, total 2.24.

I work in the store so I would rather not say but it should be all stores.

ncur · 13-12-2011 1:09pm

As of 11.40am this morning, there were 9 boxes of the Bomb factory on the shelves in the toy section of Tesco Wilton. I bought 2, so should be 7 left. Even went through self service so the price wouldn't be spotted by staff!

Jessica Fletcher · 13-12-2011 2:33pm

I found very few reductions in Mahon

Mint crisps still 39c but they are marked at a higher price (€1.17 I think?) so there are loads on the shelf.

Ariel Stain Remover powder 1kg pack is in the reduced section at the back near the bread. It is marked €10+ but scanning at €2.64.

Ariel Powder Colour 800G with Acti Lift marked €1.49. (The Bio equivalent is €3.17)

Dotcomdolly · 13-12-2011 7:10pm

Mint crisps all gone today in Nutgrove but I did get a 300g bar of Galaxy orange & shortbread reduced from €3 to 79cent.
The Italian chocolates mentioned earlier scanned at full price .
No ipod alarm clock on shelf.

moonshadow · 13-12-2011 7:14pm

shaddupayaface · 13-12-2011 10:12pm

Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo €1.54 in Prussia Street. Marked on shelf. This stuff is normally €6+

Forgot to check the mint crisps but they did have a good few of the little selection packs for 75c

podge018 · 13-12-2011 10:19pm

Can anyone tell me where the scanners are in Tesco Clearwater and Jervis Street please.

karlyk1 · 13-12-2011 10:34pm

there's a scanner in Clearwater to the left of the Pharmacy counter at the back of the shop. Checked today though, only thing I could find of interest was the Snowman hankies for 37c!! Everything else scanned at full price.... choccies, kitchen rolls, loo roll (no USB sticks) and most other things that have been mentioned in the last page or two. Hey Tesco Staff! Leave some for the rest of us, will ya? :mad:

Boybands have such a short shelf life these days.

slave1 · 14-12-2011 11:00am

The problem with most of these BA's is that Tesco have so many stores and from my experience these savings seem to be store specific.
I've checked many of the postings in my local store but only a tiny fraction have applied.
Tesco are the real winners as I always end up buying something while I'm in there seeking out the ghost BA.....

mrsfraw · 14-12-2011 11:16am

mint crisps 39c in dooradoyle. 75c funsize selection boxes were there.
1kg of ariel stain remover scanning at price of 500g. 5.29 instead of 10.29 in both Roxboro and Dooradoyle.
Bath bomb sets sold out. new style on the shelves scanning full price.

wil · 14-12-2011 11:17am

Dont entirely agree, they are barcode specific much more than store specific. Also many are clearance or discontinued items so not in all stores.
I have posted items here and gone back weeks later and found them still on the shelf, seemingly unlikely when reduced from 14 to 1.40.
Helps though if you are not restricted to one Tescos.

Word of advice, other than the BA only buy you would buy normally, dont fall in to that buying something anyway trap just because you go in to the store.

tantipie · 14-12-2011 3:19pm

I picked up a Sony Ipod dock/Alarm/radio reduced from 59.99 to 13.99 today

Ronin247 · 15-12-2011 6:38pm

Must say I got some cheap AAA batteries a few months ago and a cheap(E2.95) phone emergency charger thanks to the eagle eyed bargain alert members, but for all these other bargains are there stickers/labels as when I am in Tesco I rarely see any of these things.Perhaps I should go to specsavers first.

Did see the big 900ml bottles of Pantene shampoos and conditioners for 2.95
this week which looks good to me.

karlyk1 · 15-12-2011 11:29pm

Picked up this mp3 case with built-in speaker in Tesco Omni Park tonight (last one though!). Only 3.50, can't go wrong really.

knuth · 16-12-2011 3:36pm

What's the model FFS !!

davehey79 · 16-12-2011 4:00pm

have to agree with the previous poster model number would be a great help on any post in here electronically speaking ( saves on lugging various models over to the price checker )

Cheers for the heads up buttie

Is there a price checker out in Tesco Ardkeen?

mccarte2 · 16-12-2011 5:18pm

Noob question - how do you guys figure out the BA's if they're not marked? Do you just pick up a load of random stuff and bring it to the scanners?

Keep an eye on hotukdeals, sometimes the Tesco misprices/deals are similar here. I have found that if something doesn't have a shelf label it is worth scanning! Also, I might have saw a shelf label with a reduced item in one store but its out of stock there and I would check another store where it might have a full price shelf sticker or none at all and get it there. And just be eagle eyed as sometimes the reduced price is just on a normal white shelf label.

daytob · 16-12-2011 6:05pm

this one for those looking for the sony clock radio. it was the only SONY brand facing the laptops

I didn't see any price checkers myself. There certainly used to be but not sure anymore. I was there at midnight last night though, had a quick scan around and didn't see anymore of these so I reckon they're all gone.

siber · 16-12-2011 6:49pm

Just 12 cents for this Party Popper in Tullamore today.

There are three different sizes in these and only the middle size (I think it's 20cm) was reduced.
The 20cm size is selling on ebay for about £2.50

ALSO Lots of 24cent boxes of Snowman Tissues in Tullamore today.
