Bargains in Donegal

muffler

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.

Another Tesco bargain - Mirai 32" LCD TV for €375

Fighting Irish

20p off a packet of Lyons Teabags in Bettys corner shop.

Thats right they still use £s in the shop :eek:

muffler

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

extopia

Anything on the menu at the National Bar in Donegal Town. Especially if the specials include the chowder at €8 or €9.

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.

emmemm

petrol at 109c at Tinneys of Bonagee. generally 113c.


diesel probably cheaper too.

smashey

On the subject of petrol, the Go station in St. Johnston is always a few cents cheaper than anywhere else.

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.

muffler

Dalys filling station in Lifford are now selling petrol at €1.04 per litre. Probably the cheapest around at the moment.

Senna

petrol 86.9c at the petrol station on the left on the way into Lifford.

Will it be cheaper to buy petrol in the north soon?

muffler

Dolans, on way to Strabane?

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

jonnygee

Hegarty,s in Buncrana are selling Sony 160 gb hard drive/dvd recorders for 149 euro, reduced from 339 euro.

smashey

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

muffler

You know you are using up my time which to me is precious. troll somewhere else

muffler

Sorry the last couple of posts (mine and smashey's) were in relation to a couple of posts that are now deleted.

shayser

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.

donegalgirl28

Just be careful as a lot of petrol stations near the border have signs in both euros and sterling.

vatman

Always check the large fuel company sign as it is the Euro price,

The thread is really for posting bargain alerts and not for discussing asides as such so if we could keep the posts on topic please.
