Bargains you have found in shops in Meath...

Access

Dont know about anyone else on here, but things are tough for most people at the moment and i am personally sick of driving into Blanch or city centre looking for bargains on clothes/consumer electronics/weekly food shop etc. So i would like to propose a thread (namely this one) to list off the bargains to be had in the shops around Meath.

Now, this might fall flat on its face or might actually take off... but I for one am willing to put my name to it anyways and list any bargains i see in my neck of the woods... Navan/Kells.

Good idea/bad idea?

Great idea, though it'd be great if we could get local businesses too, as they'd be suffering a lot more than supervalu et al

True... i only started off with the supervalu one as that is what i spotted first.

Any Meath local shop owners on here willing to give us punters a decent bargain.....?

I'll be in Navan today, i'll report my findings! This really is a good idea!!

Navan SC can be a bargain fest at times:

EURO 2 shop for all kinds of everything from shampoo to computer accessories

Cantech / Click, can have good offers on at times on PC's etc... About a year ago they had a Toshiba Libretto U105 with a docking station for sub EUR 500.00... pity I didn't have the cash

Tescos have great offers on different products from time to time

Jean Junction often have sales on mens & ladies clothes


Heatons / Sports world... Expect more pay less... plenty of bargains to be had there

Also, For Fish, there is a mobile Fishmonger operating out of a converted mini-bus in the Dunnes carpark on Fridays, much cheaper & fresher produce than the supermarkets..

The Topaz garage on the Navan -> Slane road (near Stackallen) had unleaded petrol @ 99.9 and diesel @ 89.9 the other day, the cheapest I've seen about in a long time.

That's definitely the cheapest diesel you'll have seen in quite some time, but for much of January and February all garages in Trim and most of the rest around Summerhill/Enfield/Kilcock had unleaded priced at 96.9c per litre, only went back up to 99.9 around the 20th or so.

Hugh McGeogh's hardware in Trim is a real traditional shop, never saw the boom but probably wont be hit by the recession either. he has a wide range of stuff and he is v cheap.
After that, Trim Hardware is pretty good value.

How about Kells? Jim Kiernan, Paddy Duff, James Allen, Dunnes - all have very good stuff at much cheaper prices than you get closer to Dublin. I understand the stock may be morre limited, but that's because turnover is not as high, and you can't beat the personal service you get in these shops. McEntees is great for homemade bread and cakes and such. Doyles is a treasure trove for little toys and colouring books and all an anyways. The newly refurbished Super Valu is a great shop. Lucy Locketts is very popular. The streetscape on farrell street is lovely! (parking sucks however).
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Support your local shops, because when they are gone, so is the locality.

Self Service Car Wash in Campus (garage) on the Kentstown Road (just before you turn for Supervalu Johnstown) for €2, seems like good value!

You get 3 to 3.5 mins on a normal car wash for €2 but a mate of mine was there the other day and his €2 ran out after approx 60 seconds!

I remember when it was a mace shop and petrol pumps and was an absolute rip off with prices... until supervalu opened near-by and then he tried to price match for a while, but that didnt work so they closed the mace shop and opened a drive thru coffee shop and then that closed after a couple of months and now its a car wash. Fair dues to the lad that owns it for trying new business models, but when you get tagged with being a rip off in the community, it stays with you no matter what you open!

Went in today to get the car washed, €2 bought 3 minutes of time on the machine. Car wasn't too dirty: it was a 4 stage wash, managed to select and use all four stages in the 3 mins, car turned out well.

If your car is dirty, you would definitely need to put another €2 in to get the best of it.


all in all, it was worth €2
