    I thought I would start a thread and (sticky it) for people to post up any bargains they may find that would benefit people in Donegal. Things that could be included would be shop sales (or individual items), offers in Dunnes, Tescos etc, hotel breaks, even car boot sales/markets.

    I will kick this off with some home entertainment syastems and laptops in Tesco. The laptops were reduced from €699 to €299 but sadly I think they are now gone. Not much of a bargain now but you could always give them a call to see if they have any left - tel: (074)9123814

    Anyway feel free to post up any bargains or offers you find.

    I was in tescos today and theres a sticker on the shelf saying that the following laptop will be available again from tomorrow (20th August)
    Acer Aspire 7004WSMI (LX.AWS0Y.003)
    17" WXGA+ Display
    AMD Sempron 3500+
    1GB RAM
    80GB HD
    DVD Super Multi
    Wireless 802.11b/g
    Vista Basic
    Was: €599 Now: €299.49

    I asked at the customer services desk if they would in fact be in stock tomorrow and all the girl would say was that they were told they would be but that they were told this about other offers in the past and they never materialised.

    She did suggest ringing first - (074)9123814

    Muffler remove this if you think it's unreasonable, I swear I've no connection to the place, but the bookshop in the SC in Letterkenny is amazing, really wide selection of books dirt cheap. The owner is really nice guy too.

    37" HD with built in freeview channel receiver for about €480 in Asda, Strabane.

    Its £375 which should work out about 500 euro.


    Edit: Their exchange rate last night was €1 = £0.779 which would leave the price working out about €481

    1/2 price toy sale is Heiton's in Letterkenny Courtyard shopping centre. Plenty of stuff. We got a good few Christmas presents sorted today. Don't know how accurate the "1/2 price" claim is but they are cheap.

    Not perhaps a specific bargain, but yet another discount store has opened in Donegal Town.

    So-Lo (already in Letterkenny and Ballybofey), I notice is now open behind Watson Hire near Lidl.

    Indeed, the competition from just across the bridge seems to have froced their hand.

    Dolans, on way to Strabane?

    One of the cheapest in NI and if sterling looses any more value then it will be cheaper (almost)

    The way I see it is that this is a thread for bargains in Donegal, not Tyrone or Derry.

    Very quick off the mark, guys. :)

    Regarding petrol, Tinney's have been the cheapest for ages in Letterkenny and by a good few cent per litre, but the pumps beside JJ Reids have been taking them on recently by going a cent lower.
