Case is all plastic this year, the same model last year, again on offer at Tesco, had a 'metallic' finish on the top side of the case. Everything is plastic now.

Plus last year one came with a nice cord/loop/chain thingy to click on to it.

A bit of swings and roundabouts on the Read\Write too..

Faster on the write, overall. 12MB.

Slower on the Read, taps out at just short of 18MB.

Same version of ATTO used for both tests.

Clearwater must be the worst to get a bargain in, the staff grab everything, one of them saw me looking for flash drives a few months back, smiled and said "too late pal"

Every job has a perk of some description; it just so happens that tesco's perk interferes with our BA scavenging. Personally, i'd say you would have to see the funny side of his/her comment.

After they refused to sell me 14c batteries I was told they have to be returned and they could be sacked if staff took for themselves and they had a strict policy on it.
/sniff, defo not roses:rolleyes:

Anyway those 1.40 AAs must be mixed in with the rest because they keep restocking at irregular intervals. Tis the AAAs I'm looking for now if anyone spots (/swap?)

spotted those little 5 packs of Ferrero Rocher for 99c today (supposed to be €1.99 or two for €3), handy little stocking fillers.

There's a good few of these gold plated HDMI leads in Maynooth for €1.92.

My pic seems to be gone now, but they're technika 1.5m gold plated HDMI leads, good value. Loads left in Maynooth.

FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

Probably un-yellow-stickered too; they often don't advertise the outrageous deals. I remember in 2010 they had Dairy Milks/Pink Snacks etc for ~30-40c per bar.

And of course the epic Bounty deal; 10 Bounty's for €2.

Those real bargain 1.40 for 4 pack Duracell Accu AA 4x keep reappearing.:D
Noticed empty price spot on shelf for portable chargers for 92c.:) Dont know which variety so keep your eyes peeled. Duracell are actively advertising these at the mo but prob not at this price

Those 92c chargers are a duracell portable device charger and use two (included) AA batteries for emergency charge of phone/mp3 etc...I got one in tesco's weeks back when I was looking for the battery chargers...haven't opened it yet but the amazon reviews say they don't work very well for what they're supposed to...

Also keep an eye out for:

Tresemme Shampoo = 900ml for €1.49. Tresemme shampoo and conditioner are on 1/2 price at the moment but I got a couple of bottles that were marked only €1.49

Head and Shoulders Shampoo and Conditioner - (small size) some limited types clearing at just 74c

Pantene Conditioner 400ml Usually €5.99 - a number of different types including one called "Enhanced Layers" were clearing for just €1.24

Also picked up Ariel Stain Remover Powder 1KG usually over €10 for just €2.49

From my experience in the last few weeks, stores are clearing products at approx 75% off. However a particular product can be clearing in one store and be sitting on the shelf at full price in another.

The shampoo and conditioner were in the Tullamore store yesterday.
It pays to shop around.

Also lots of the 4 pack of Plenty at €1.49 on the shelf in Tullamore yesterday. No shelf price label on them but they scanned at €1.49

Nearly forgot to mention that I also picked up a couple of boxes of
Paynes Just Brazils 180gm for €1.49, reduced from €5.99 yesterday. (Tesco Tullamore)

Mind these are not worth €5.99 - but great as a stocking filler for €1.49
