That is their normal price. Tesco Clarehall usually only stock 6 at a time. I think they are brilliant for the price.

Thought that when I saw the the white label, didn't use it yet but looks like great value, I was delighted with myself when I saw the squeegee cleaning thing and the little notch for holding the roller in place and then I slapped myself for getting excited about a paint roller.

Seen Call of Duty Ghosts (PS3 and Xbox 360) for 10e in Tesco Lisduggan.

Also seen a label for Battlefield 4 and Far Cry Expedition for 10e but unfortunately the game wasn't to be found.

Vtech toot toot animal and drivers €3.75 each in tesco! They are €8.99 each in Smyths and other toy shops. My little ones love them! Picked up a couple more tonight as thought €3.75 was great value.

The new tesco shopping app has a barcode scanner on it, which could be handy if you shop in a tesco store thats doesn't have a scanner.

Got excited - see it here http://www.tesco.ie/apps/ Android and iPhone versions, but no Windows app (bah!)

Have you used the scanner in store to check prices?

I've just ran around the kitchen here- scanned a few jars of coffee, a bag of sugar, milk, a pack of cookies and a tube of smarties. Its fast, very responsive, and piggybacks on your phone's focus correction to scan the barcodes rapidly and accurately. Even shaking the phone- I still got consistent reads. Mental note to self- 100grm Kenco Colombian has gone back up to 6.57- take it off my shopping list for tomorrow.........

There is a barcode scan icon at the top right hand corner on the App screen- which launches it immediately- and once it scans the barcode it retrieves a description photo and price from the main Tesco website and brings these back to you.

The whole idea is that you'd use it to shop online from home- i.e. you'd wander around the kitchen/bathroom- scanning the barcodes on whatever you're running short of- and order directly from the App.

If you want to do this- don't. It crashes before you can check out. Seems to be buggy on both Android and iOS- lots of complaints in the comments about it. The barcode scanner itself is really good though.

Would be handy if you are shopping in Dunnes/SuperValu and want to see if tesco are cheaper.

Could still be very handy for making shopping lists throughout the week. When you notice you're getting low on something, just scan it and it's added to your list for the shopping at the weekend.

totally way off topic,
talking of lists,
if you have a smartphone
use the wunderlist app
its especially good if you want to share lists with two or more people.

Maybe that Tesco app thing deserves its own thread?

We're near the 10k post limit, only took 3 and a half years.

I'm gonna miss this thread.

Plenty of proper bargains back in the day (1c bluray player anyone?). Don't think we'll see it's like again.

Goodbye dear friend.

Found the bargain of the week - this Magicbox Prism DAB Radio. This was in Mayo. I think the radio was originally 39.99, was on clearance for a long time at 9.74 but they still had original tags up on the shelf. Yesterday saw it was still there. Used price checker and came up at 19c, so headed straight to self-checkout.

It's a DAB radio, which doesn't work in the west, but 19c is fine for FM only.

Thanks everyone for all the bargains. I got some good ones. But nothing like a dab radio for 19c.
