I'm a regular visitor to the Bargin Alerts Page but since there are a lot of SuperValus in Galway; I got a nice big piece of Sirlion Steak (8.04Kg)this evening in Supervalu. It was 50% off. I also got a free bag of onions and a free punnet of mushrooms with it. I said to the butcher it was great value but he said it wasn't; it was super value. It cost me €4.39 all together. Offer finishes on tomorrow I think.

Toy city are still going with their 50% sale. Most stock is gone but there are still a lot of girls dolls and general baby toys

There's one on Fr. Griffin Road and one in Ballybane.

There used to be two in the city centre - one where New Look is in Eyre Square centre and one where Marks and Spencer is in Corrib centre.

I was in there 2 days ago, their kids toys are generally still pretty much in full stock. The only thing that's actual noticeably depleted is the Video game department, and Nursery. There's any amount of a full range of boys/girls toys left.

Centra are running an offer where the usually 7euro plus tubs of ben and jerrys icecream are 3.36

happy times

**biko** · 11-02-2009, 14:23

The Planet Entertainment Centre on Headford Rd Bowling €25/hour for up to 7 ppl during Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays "for a limited time" (whatever that means). If you use the vouchers from chillys thread it's €20.

Btw, my iBuy booklet arrived just now.

_Whimsical_ · 11-02-2009, 17:20

Referring to the ibuybook again there are several vouchers in it that could be useful for Valentines day. There are some vouchers for money off restaurants or a free bottle of wine with dinner.
There's also a voucher for 50% off a facial and massage beauty treatment. It's €90 usually but €45 with the voucher.Obviously you'd want to buy and book the treatment for her in advance for that though.A card with a voucher and €45 in it would not be every womans dream.

Head The Wall · 11-02-2009, 20:08

You'll probably find they won't accept vouchers for occasions like valentines. They are usually for drumming up business on quiet times

LadyMayBelle · 11-02-2009, 20:37

I also heard Vina Mara are doing a special of dinner for two, dessert and a bottle of wine for 67 euros..those of you who know vina mara will know this is a well cheap offer...doubt they'll do it Valentines night but worth investigating!
