    This should possibly go into Bargain Alerts but I'm unsure.

    Browns shop on the Dublin Road in Portlaoise have 6 bales for €20. This is the best price I have noticed for Briquettes this winter. Can anyone beat this?

    PS I have no affiliation other than as a satisfied customer.

    My In-Laws buy them from the factory just outside Cloghan in Offaly (Think its in Banagher??) They buy them by the trailer load for €2 per bale and would bring about 50 bales at a time. Its very keen I think.

    Do you know how far they deliver or is it just locally?

    Well you're the lucky lads! I've seen them at €5.00 a bale in Dublin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,108 ✭✭✭10-10-20


    €20 for 6 bales in Gings in Portlaoise.

    (= €3.33 per bale)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭dh0661


    The equivalent of €3-50 in Tralee
    The equivalent of €3-33 in Portlaoise
    And €5-00 in Dublin :confused:

    This post should be moved to rip off Ireland.

    Maybe but try renting a shop in Dublin and then shifting turf from the midlands and you mightn't make a whole lot. In fairness you can get them for €4.50 if you look around the city

    My business neighbour was selling hardwood square briquettes. Two types he was selling. They were 3.90 euro/bale in dublin. He sells by the ton also. Dont know about delivery, he has a truck but I dunno what he does with that. I collected my briquettes from him. Think he might be out of briquettes at the moment.
    One type were 75mm*75mm square cross section and 300mm long. 6 in a pack. Pack weight was 10kg. Hardwood.
    The other type he had were rectangle blocks similar to bnm ones only twice as thick and 12 in a bale/pack.
    He is a turf contractor among other things. He told me he has his own machines and bog to cut turf for sale every year. Dark/black turf he said.
    He sells loose trailer loads and bagged turf also. Mainly sells turf in the midlands and briquettes in dublin but he would probably sell turf in dublin too.

    Hi All.

    I just bought a palett of 90 bales from a company here in Mayo called Atlantic Fuels and Agri. I found them on a site called Done Deal. They would have worked out around €2.79 per bale each. (Best value in Ireland i found) http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/heating/1167486 have a look at yourself.

    I bought off B.N.M. factory in Offaly. 128 bales (pallet) worked out at 3.04 euro each.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 251 ✭✭dbyrne


    Can anyone just buy off them?. I would take 3 - 4 pallets at that price.
