Dealz

SunnyDub1

Don't know if there is a thread already on this store, If so apologies and feel free to close.

This store is based in Omni park shopping center, also think there is one in blanchardstown shopping center.

EVERYTHING in the store is €1.49.
From toothpaste,deodorant,cleaning products, garden, food (bars/biscuits and sweets, tea bags,coffee etc) small electrical, Cd's,DVDs, dog food, cat food.
They have a bit of everything.

None of this "reduce to clear" because food is about to expire , it's well known products and brands at a good price

Just taught I'd let all you bargain hunters know about it. Would recommend anyone in the area to check it out

pawrick

They have a shop in Athlone also - seems to be a British chain as some of thier stuff is geared towards the UK market - British Passport covers etc

I buy my sweets for the cinema there

Atlantic Dawn

Yes its around a while, good few locations around the country. Their parent company is Poundland in the UK. Some great offers alright.

snubbleste

You're very late op
Poundland to open in Ireland Aug 2011
Dealz Sept 2011

fletch

Although beware lots of times I find the same stuff in Dunnes (admittedly on offer) for under €1.50.

maximoose

Get bits and bobs in the Newbridge store all the time, some great bargains in there indeed

Plus its the only place I've found does cinema bags of sweet popcorn, score!

I think a lot of there stuff is grey imports, i.e. intended for a different market. Manufacturers like coke could have very different wholesale prices in different countries, this is why you get arabic writing on cans of coke in some chippers etc, they do not go through the official Irish distributor.

So some known brands might taste a little different than Irish market ones. So if you plan on really stocking up you might want to buy small amounts, go out to your car, taste a bar or can and go back in once you are sure it is OK.

best shop ever. I went in the other day and they were selling wallpaper. For 1.49 a roll.

They've a deadly cosmetics selection too.

Onthe3rdDay

Easily the best store of this sort. Obviously you get what you pay for with some products but there are huge savings in some areas. Check out the books section, very odd selection but the odd gem pops up.

Best deal so far was the armstrong and miller book I got in Poundland (same shop different name) in Derry last October. The person I got it for was a big fan of the show. Went to Easons on the way back to the car,

Eason price £10.99
Poundland £1.00

anniehoo

Ive banned myself from going in, its impossible not to come out without buying half a dozen things. Some products can be found cheaper in other supermarkets so not everything is a bargain, but i love it. Im such a nerd but i spend half my day looking for or misplacing pens. They have extendable clip on pens 2 for €1.49,,..best invention ever

maximoose

They do really good basic homeware stuff too

paddy147

Good gardening bits and bobs in it.

Items like bulbs and seeds,plant pots,water spray bottles,training wire,plant id tags and so on.

Jesus Shaves

4 cans of cheery coke for €1.49, yum yum

It's over where Halfords and Lidl are. Not sure of the name of the area with the shops but it's where the KFC is in the carpark.

It's Westend Retail Park

I saw that too! Intimately Beckham, Beyonce Pulse and one of the Katy Perry ones amongst others.

I bought beckham intimate just about last week,great offers in dealz,i was on my way in there for three packs of facial wipes 3 packs for 1.49!!!! I get all my beauty stuff in there,well bar the make up.But ive tried their rimmel eyeshadows and they are good no problems with them at all.Picked up a few other essentail bits and bobs,really worked out very cheap.
If it wasnt for pennys,dealz and lidls/aldi i dont know where i would be!!!

beauf

Mix of Cheap tat stuff and good bargains. Worth a wander.

CreepingDeath

Some good techy gadgets too.

€2 for a usb bluetooth v2 adapter, and it works with the Raspberry Pi.

Hmmm, I shopped a few time in Dealz and although they do have a very wide range of items from food to bathroom items etc, you really do get what you pay for. The Coke and Chocolate tasted quite different from the branded stuff, which explains the strange writing and different volumes on the packaging. Foreign markets may not be to everyone's taste. Plus the shower gel and body sprays were just vile-smelling cheap tat, which I was surprised by as I always got decent bathroom items in Lidl or Aldi. But at the end of the day, the stuff there is only 1euro50cent so if you are on a tight budget it might come in handy but if you are looking for quality as well, this isnt really the place, its a glorified tatty pound shop..

They are hardly trying to pretend they are anything else.

its not a glorified pound shop, it is a pound shop, called poundland in the uk, they just changed the name when they opened here.

what did you think they were ?

Comparing them to Aldi or Lidl is not comparing like with like.

Thanks for pointing out the part I've bolded :rolleyes:, as most normal people are on a tight budget.
Your post comes across as very snobbish tbh.

You're talking utter crap. The cans of Coke and food items taste identical to the sane ones that your but in tesco. The reason for the different volumes and number of items per pack is because most of the big name brands specifically produce items for dealz. I tried the shower gel and had no issues with any of them and all the known brands are identical to what's in Tesco and the like

Much of what you say is simply not true. Just like any other shop the buyer needs to be beware when you go into Dealz. There are a huge amount of Bargains with proper brands. There are some items that are average value and there are items that you need to avoid. The same could be said of Tesco. Some of their own branded stuff isn't great.

It would take too long to go down through the list of branded stuff that's on sale in dealz just like anywhere else. Where I will point out you get value for money is their electronic items Like HDMI cables and various extension leads.

You can also pick up the odd good book cheap. Dog treats are also great at 1.49 when they're close to 2.49 elsewhere when they're not on offer. Same with Monster munch, usually 80c cheaper than Dunnes for the same product.

They're called dealz because we don't have pounds in this country, but they're basically a poundstore, but one that's a cut above the rest generally.

daytob

Dealz in blanch last week had Original Source shower gel for 1.49, same one in tesco and boots for 2.79.
They also have sure and right guard as well, so I dunno what shower gel or body sprays you were looking at, but if you looked closer you would see branded items.

Its interesting that they've deviated from the "everything is exactly the same price" model here, which I believe they still haven't in the UK. May be an experiment with a smaller market to see if it works.

The difference in taste of coke & the chocolate is because they are manufactured in the UK. UK Coke & Cadbury's chocolate are nowhere as nice as the Irish stuff.

Or maybe, you are just use to the taste of Irish ones and people in the UK would have the opposite few.

Either way Coke and Chocolate are full of sugar, which is basically a poison which is causing the obesity epidemic and killing people, read here:

So better to cut them out of your diet anyway, you will live longer and be happier.

CuppaCocoa

Love this shop. They have a sister shop in the Buttercrane Shopping Centre in Newry called 'Poundland'. I get Laundry gel and fabric softener for £1 and it's very nice. They're great for electronic gadgets and tablet covers. I always manage to spend at least £30 when I go there .

In the Dublin store I picked up Prue Leith's autobiography for €1.50 this week. Nice stocking filler!

Doesn't tv contribute to the obesity epidemic equally if not more than chocolate, coke and sugar. :pac:

I buy all my shower gels and body sprays there,they are the same brands as in the main well known supermarkets,they dont smell of rats piss or anything so im fine with them.

I think you maybe never tried them before and have a bit of an opinion about it before getting your nose in.

Dont be so snobbish,dont knock it till you try it is my approach.

Sugar isn't "basically a poison". Fat isn't a poison. Carbs aren't a poison.

Aside from a few classes of lipids which aren't great for you in any quantity, the simple fact of the matter is that any excess food/drink is a "poison" (in some sense of the word).

Unfortunately it isn't just about excise. The problem is that sugar actually stops your brain from knowing that you are full, thus you over eat.

Fructose causes obesity and metabolic syndrome by encouraging you to eat more and by clogging your cells’ energy generators, Johnson explains. “Our work also shows that sugar or fructose induces resistance to leptin,” which is the hormone the body uses to signal fullness to the brain. It also regulates how energetic we feel. Eating too much sugar, especially too quickly, eventually leads the brain to miss the “I’m full now” message.

The problem is all processed food is full of sugar, way more then people realise or is healthy.

Just as a simple example, tomato ketchup is 25% sugar!

A can of coke contains 10 sugar cubes!!

http://www.sugarstacks.com/

Non of this is healthy levels of sugar.

No I'm not just used to the taste, one tastes better than the other. That's what the discussion was about, not what's good for your health. What's the point living life if you can't treat yourself every now and again and alway try to be the healthiest thing possible.

Some tomato puree with no added sugar is 18% sugar.

There is nothing unusual about coke in the slightest. Coke has the same sugar levels as apple or orange juice, grape juice is about 16% vs cokes 10.5%. Avonmore Skimmed milk is 5.5% sugar.

Why are two Moderators Discussing the merits of Sugar consumption on a Bargain alert thread about Dealz? There's off topic and then there's off topic. Dealz also sell a lot of weight watchers goods:D

Since Dealz moved into my town of Midleton two "convenience stores" have gone bust, and good riddance - the prices they used charge.

Dealz rules. i pop in nearly every day for a gander.

One deal which is particularly awesome is the 3 Scampi and 3 bacon fries for 1.49. Pubs charge around 1.50 for one bag.

The thing is you can actually get stocking filler material in dealz and i would say there is a better selection than the poundshops,i dont even bother with eurozone anymore or boots or whatever..

The selection of dvds and books is fantastic,got a few cd's,and books in my time,and i managed to pick up a dvd of aeon flux this week for a family member.

Ah stop it will you. Sugar a poison? Too much sugar is bad for you, it's most certainly not a poison. What's causing the obesity epidemic is people eating too much and not exercising. Not the occasional Coke or bar of Dairymilk.

The "British" Cadbury chocolate is actually made in Poland, no longer in the UK. The Brits have been banging on about how the taste had changed and vowed to never buy Cadbury again. We're lucky to have ours still being made in Coolock for now!

.

Yeah because a single shop can buy in bulk like a chain store with hundreds, if not thousands of stores. I'm sure they also stock loads of Irish produced products in Dealz too.

And people wonder why the country is on its knees.

From memory it was the Frys plant (which they own) and not the main Bourneville factory that closed?

Coolock only makes certain bars, mainly more complicated ones and Rathmore in Kerry makes the flakes and twirls from memory.
