I got mine about about an hour before you. Great bargain at €17.
I also bought a Tesco own-brand DAB111 radio for €5. This was the
last one on the shelf.

They both work very well. The cheap Tesco branded one is a little better
than the Sony at decoding weak signals.

Neither left in Millfield Balbriggan. In fact shelves empty, possibly indicating new range due in.

Bought these two as well this afternoon in Mahon Point - last Sony and last Dab111 (mixed in with the 211).

You would want to be absolutely swinging out of the plug for the lead/wires to actually come out of a sealed plug unit.

Sealed plugs have a pull out cap in between the 3 plug prons where the fuse cap sits.

You just pop that out and there is the fuse.

Simples.

Unfortunately mine does have loose wires - and it hasn't been used as a swing.

Just a safety warning... The plug unit supplied is a transformer unit supplying 6 volts to the radio.
Cutting the " plug " off would not be advisable

I thought it served some additional purpose alright.

So how the hell do you fix one with loose wires??? sorry for the off-topicness

There's a version of a flicker scooter in Tesco reduced to €49, most stores seem to have them priced at 59.99 but they scan at €49.

Its a blue box and its is the size 3 for age 10 plus. Only seems to be available in blue.

Its supposed to be a bargain alerts thread- frankly I don't see how these are a bargain at a fiver each? They are nice- but they're nothing special. Someone is onto a good thing selling them @ a fiver a go.........

They cost more in the local garden centres and DIY stores,so if its cheaper in Tesco (Clarehall and Artane Castle for me),then its a bargain.

Hense it being posted in the "Tesco thread".;)

I dont see any issue with it being posted here.

avoid these like the plague, i bought one a few weeks back, hasn't got a flash player capable of playing youtube videos, wont stream from certain sites that show football, lasted three weeks and then wouldn't turn on at all, took it back to tesco and the manager said there are lots of them coming back
the screen is very hard to usealmost sticking your finger into it before it registers, i got a google android for the same money faster processor and way better

A word of warning on those Finish Quantum etc dishwasher tablets. My local tesco in Rathfarnham was selling packs of 72??(I can't remember but it's irrelevant) of the quantum or powerball type for €24.99!!!!!!!

I expect these to be on sale shortly, and I see there is a pack of some sort in that picture for €6 odd.

Anyways, Dunnes are doing packs of 39 (i think) at €8 odd with 100% extra free.

I apologise for the vagueness, but there is so much product differentiation it's hard to compare like with like (nearly as bad as nappies or health insurance!!).

Faustino I is reduced from €22.99 to €15 at the moment
Faustino IV reduced from €16.99 to €10.

Tesco are hilarious. Share packs of Mega Meanies were 1.55 each. They jack up the price to 2.10 then a few weeks later put them on offer for 2 for 3 euro. Wow, what a saving :rolleyes: I know they do this all the time but it's the first time I've actually come across it.

Plenty left in Clonmel, they're located over near the newspapers and magazines on a cardboard stand. Priced at €5.50 and scanning at €1.50.

Also over on the battery stand the Duracell 12 AA Pack is scanning at €2.00.

Just stocked up for the year
