Duracell Torches in Tesco for €2 & €3.50 (incl batteries)

siber

Was in Tesco in Athlone today and I noticed they were selling some Duracell torches at much reduced prices.
There was no yellow reduced/offer shelf price on these, the torches were priced with the normal white price, but at the reduced price. (as a result it's not as easy to spot this bargain).

Duracell Voyager €2 : water-resistant, shockproof and comes with 2AA batteries

Price for this on the Duracell.ie website is €7.63

Duracell Explorer €3.50: About twice the size of the Voyager, this is also water-resistant and shockproof and comes with 2 D size batteries.

Price for this on the Duracell.ie website is €11.22

Hande hoche!

Thanks for the heads up. Always handy to have a torch or two around the house.

These would make a great stocking filler. Kids love torches

I have one of the Explorer ones and the light is pretty crap out of it. It seems to eat batteries too.
Still, for that price, it's handy for the car in case of a puncture at night (which is where I have mine atm)

Jebus, either torch is cheaper than buying the batteries alone! You are not obliged to buy Duracell replacement batteries when they do die... Rechargables ftw.

Also, the Xenon bulb should give a good light (while batteries last).

If buying for the car, get the D Cell one. A bit harder to bangle, maybe, but the doctor should not need an x-ray if it is switched on.... :eek:.....:D

I doubt the USB chargers are a misprice as I was in tesco Dun Laoghaire today and they had plenty of stock at the 3.XX price - it may just be another offer they have in conjunction with duracell

Sold out in Athlone.

They did have the charger things though.. longest BA ever!

Sorry, I think I bought the last of the Athlone stock yesterday.

I can also confirm no stock left in Ballinasloe, some stock in Tullamore.

Got 2 of the Voyager ones in Tralee today. There were about 4-5 left. All of the others were gone.

Just for comparison, Tesco are selling their own version next to it. Looks the same, feels around the same weight, but costs €9.99. Not sure if there were batteries in the Tesco one either.

One of the better BA's in a while lads. Good spot OP.

Hope theres some left in Tallaght. I'm such a torch nerd!

Thanks OP

If you buy the bigger torch for €3.50 it comes with 2 D size batteries.

I just checked the price of a pack of 4 D size batteries on the Tesco website and these cost €6.89 for the pack. (definitely not even near the cheapest you can buy these)

This works out at a cost of €3.44 for the two batteries that come with the torch.

Based on this - the torch is costing a whopping 6 cent

Keep an eye out for the pack of 2 rechargeable D Duracell batteries that were going for €1.50 a couple of weeks ago. Edit - Saw the rechargeable batteries in Midleton Tesco for €1.50 but no sign of the torches :-(

Thanks OP, I picked up a few Explorers today for €3.50 :cool:

A twin pack of Duracell D size batteries was €4.50 in store

siber

I was in Tesco in Tullamore last night and there were still some of the €3.50 large size in stock. These were hanging on the stand with the batteries and were marked at full price - around €14.50. However, the good news is that they were scanning at €3.50.

As I already had stocked up I had no need to buy any more, hopefully this will help somebody.

lindtee

None of the Explorers in stock in Wilton Tesco but did get a voyager one and there were about 5 left at about 1.00pm today.

Cheers OP, picked up 2 of these. They were marked €14.50 on the shelf but when I scanned at the price checker they came up as €3.50. There was only one or two left in Tesco Ballybeg when I'd finished.

ComeraghBlue

Many thanks op just picked up one of each in tesco balybeg. Even the guy at the till was surprised and said he'd get a few himself

There wasn't any in Dundrum yesterday

paddyp

saw 5 of the large ones shoved into the back of the shelf near the bulbs in tesco roscommon if anyone wants one. Still scannng at 3.50

RayCon

I got 3 of the smaller ones (€2) in Maynooth on Fri ... there were 2 more left - buried behind full price Energizer torches of similar size ...

phunkymonk

class,now i wont have to pay for a taxi home at night as i will navigate my way back home with my trusty torch.....but they seem to be all gone! doh!

Are these located with the bulbs or the packs or the AA batteries. I can't find them in the shop and I really need a torch for the car!

When I got one they were on a display with all the duracell batteries.
