No giveaway offers in Stillorgan or Dundrum.

Could be just the 1 store, making room for the HP Tablets they have coming in!

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

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!

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...!
