Cheap computer equipment in Tesco

wobbles

Tesco have some serious bargains on computer equipment at the moment. This morning i picked up a Logitech Wireless Desktop MK250 (wireless keyboard and mouse) down from €30 to €1.50. Also got a Trust Graphics tablet for €1.25. Was told there was a 500gb Iomega External Hard drive down to €1.50 aswell but couldnt find any in the stores i checked.

These items were on clearence to get rid of them so not every store will have these, but they may have other stuff. Worth a look though if your in there

Why dont i live near a 24 hour tesco any more bet they will be all gone by the time i get to a tesco now.

I was in Clarehall Tesco this morning and these weren't discounted. Which branch did you get them?

Mr Magners

Any more info on this or is it a wind-up?

Nothing in Ballinasloe Tesco either. In fact their PC accessories seemed to have gotten a bit dearer.

Hank_Jones

500gb hard drive reduced to €1.50, seems like a mistake as opposed to a deal.

Considering they generally cost 50/60/70 euro, seems odd that Tesco would be giving them away.

Think this is BS or a once off mistake personally.

okidoki987

Looks like a mistake, sounds like the Tropicana 3 for €2 thread.
Another mistake by Tesco?

Quaderno

No, I don't think it's BS (which would be very harsh to say anyway...). I posted last night that I saw a couple of cheap harddrives on sale in my local Tesco (although nowhere near €1.50), so they do seem to have a policy to get rid of certain lines of computer equipment. Maybe the actual rate of reduction is decided by the store manager or something like that, but reductions do definitely exist, at least in some stores.

Ill find the recept for it if people dont beleive it. As i said, its on clearence stuff, so its only stores that still have that stock will have that offer.

Store was ballybeg in Waterford (i work there), i got the last tablet, and the keyboards are gone now aswell, but the price for the keyboards was still up last night.

Good man Wobbles.
This place is full of doubters. I think most would prefer you just hand them the bargains as well, so they don't have to leave their couches!

Could be the staff discount from heaven ?

I wish. You have to be there a year for staff discount to kick in.

Thanks OP, I'll check on my local tesco if they have something similar.

How dear is the staff discount anyway?

I'll be in Tesco (Jervis St.) later on. If the Dublin city centre store doesn't have it / had it - I'll be surprised.

1tb drives would cost you 60-70 online. Or, in Easons, a 1tb external Seagate drive is 70€.

Thanks OP, picked up a couple of wired keyboards (logitech "ultraflat" or somesuch) for €1.50 each down from well over a tenner. Gave one to a neighbour and the other will be very useful when the computer refuses to recognise my wireless keyboard - won't have to visit said neighbour to borrow their keyboard anymore!

Ballybeg, Waterford (store that OP spotted the deal in).

joe250

Picked up 2 ultra slim keyboards for 1.25 each in tesco ballybeg today.

wmpdd3

The offer is real. Only some store had these.

The bigger stores had them in the main aisle a good few months ago, (maybe a year). The smaller stores may have had them sent in too and not had a chance to sell them as they were not on the plannagram.

The label even has all the other prices the items were on it, all crossed out then the new price. None in Ardkeen, Waterford, far as I can see.

Definitely worth having a look on the shelves of your local Tesco. Just picked up a 500GB Seagate external HDD for €6.65. It's €40 odd on Amazon.
BTW the shop was the old store in Naas and I took the only one on the shelf, sorry...!

BragainMark888

Got 2 Belkin Routers in Tesco yesterday for E1.25 each, say some cameras reduced aswell but seemed to be sold out.

DermotOH

Checked in my local today, Nothing
Staff thought I was crazy

XxMCRxBabyxX

Anyone see anything in Jervis or Dublin in general today?
