Electric coolbox €16.50 Tesco

nantony98

Just bought an 24ltr electric coolbox (plugs into lighter socket in car) in tesco. Not marked as a sale item but same kind of box is €48 in Argos. Might be of interest to someone with summer coming up.

Seen this one (24ltr) in Tesco Extra Naas today but was priced at E10 :eek:.

The one half the size over E25 go figure.....

Down the right hand side when you enter the store go straight to the end of the aisles all the BBQ stuff is there and the large cool boxes are on the bottom shelf.

Didn't see any in Clonmel.
Beginning to think they never stock any bargains.

I just took the last one off the shelf in tesco Clearwater for €16.50.

Great Bargain, Cheers - I was very close to buying one of these for over €50 not too long ago.

Had a look in Tesco Naas this evening and there were none there at all. Gutted as been meaning to get one of these for a while and was only saying yesterday how I needed one!

folks be careful with these, they are great but make sure to unplug them! friend ended up with a flat battery on a beach with no phone reception.

It's this electrically operated box which keeps things cool.

There was nothing in Tesco Ardkeen (Waterford) yesterday - and they had not had them in stock previously either.

On a related theme, I was in Tesco Monread Rd - Naas - last week and picked up a couple of fold out chairs for.....wait for it..... €3.35 each.
They even have the little pouch in the arm for putting a bottle into!

Yeah I looked in Ardkeen yesterday too.:(

I have one similar that I bought a few years back. Its great for when we do our monthly shop, just chuck all the meat & dairy stuff into it as we can often spend a few hours in town doing the shopping

Picked up one of these for €16.50 in Balbriggan at the weekend. Steal considering Argos and Lidl version is €50 and Halfords version €65.

I got the 28l one in lidl and the quality is far superior. I used it the weekend and fitted 6 2 litre bottles in it.

The above poster is right though they use up a lot of battery.

Just be aware that these things are not a fridge, basically its a fan + heatsink thing, it doesn't cool anything down, it just helps keeps it cool.

Good to combine it with a bunch of frost packs + if you have a 12v socket in the boot its handy.

Be careful it doesnt remain on when you turn off the ignition as it will eventually drain the battery.

There's two of these left in the new Balbriggan store as of 30mins ago. The also have that Denby dinner service in the mushroom colour for 25.50

Good few of the €10 and €16.50 ones in Ardkeen but watch out as the price may go up at any time.

This is the price the old model was sold of at last winter and it looks like the kept the same EAN this year and haven't realised yet.
