Toffifee's 400g box (48 sweets) is marked half price. Should be €3.42 but they are actually scanning in at €1.71 (75% off)! I got them in Clarehall and there were still a couple on the shelves.

Volvic 1.5 Liter is only 50 cent in all Tesco at the moment. 1.5 liter is handy sized bottle.

Plus Ben And Jerrys is around €3 again (half price). But if you seriously pay €6 for a tub of ice cream you need your head examined

Tesco also have cute 200 gram heart shaped boxes, of heart shaped caburys for only €3

Tesco have a few 'own-brand' wines like their Finest Chenin Blanc, Rose or Bordeaux- for very good prices (typically 7-8 Euro a bottle). Quality and drink-ability very good- and a damn sight better than the brand names in their wine sale, often at over double their price. Note: avoid the Chablis.

Thanks, I love the Chenin Blanc.
Chablis, like Pouilly, is worth paying extra for. Get it from a good off license

Right guys and gals.

I emailed Tesco Ireland customer services while ago and received the following reply.

"With regards to the 1c items these items are being discontinued. A customer can purchase these as it would be better to sell them at 1c then have to throw them away.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us and if I can be of any further help please let me know.

Kind regards

Henry Dawson
Tesco Ireland Customer Service"


So I guess we should be able to fill our boots guilt free.

Following on from the above, I emailed Henry asking the following....
"So is it Tesco Ireland’s policy that these 1c
items are to be sold, and it’s not at the discretion of the individual store
managers? "

To which he replied....

"When an item is reduced to 1c we do advise the store to remove them. If they do not remove them and a customer attempts to purchase them, the store must sell the item to the customer for 1c.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us and if I can be of any further help please let me know. "

So that fairly bookends that, and should do away with the need for all the self service sneakiness.

Yup. Weren't gonna sell at first until I showed the email.

RobbingBandit

**** off did you get a tv, really... I hate you.

Seems you are getting my good karma, the avengers bluray I bought for 1c has the wrong disc in it, some bloody star wars demo bluray instead. Only opened the box last night so no chance of returing it.

Wouldn't give me any discount for it being a display model either!

How did you know what tv to look for, have you the model no.

Picked up mario vs donkey kong for ds, it scanned at 1c, but the girl said she couldn't sell it, so I showed her the post on Boards, she went off to look for her manager and came back and said thats fine an email came from head office yesterday and they were allowed to sell 1c items.

They've little paper slips in the tv section with model numbers and barcodes. Picked up a lash of them, went up to the price checker, and scanned them.

Care to share the relevant model number

Ye have to do something yereselves.

I can't spoonfeed ye everything.
I've clarified the situation with Tesco Ireland so we can all buy the 1c items without issue. I've told ye I bought a tv and I've told ye how I found the price by scanning barcodes.
I don't live in Tesco's. I had to go out of my way every evening for the last couple of weeks, once the kids were in bed, to head over to a couple of different Tescos and scan codes. I finally came across one and purchased.

Really don't think it's too much to ask that ye go out and check model numbers yereselves.

Out of curiosity, what difference does it make to you taking the stock off the floor besides giving yourself the satisfaction that no one here will be able to take advantage of 1c stock?

Well according to tesco they normally go to charity as opposed to the charity of mé féin.
