    I came across a reference to this in one of the Sunday papers. I have only had a quick scan but the prices do not seem to be ultra competitive, they only supply non-perishables, and free delivery is with orders over €50. None the less I thought I should post it up for others to comment on.

    Had a look a while back. Not impressed, savings are not great & only for brand snobs.

    Saw the ad on a bus last week, wasn't impressed, thought the choices were poor.

    The ideas great.... Just takes some serious finance backing in order to get some more products in store, but a tough market to compare with when you have the Aldi, Lidls and Tesco taking majority..... Best of luck to them though....

    I saw a show on ITV a few weeks ago where a number of people wanted to buy a certain tv. They all got together and got a significant discount for bulk buying. They did the same with electricity suppliers, toasters etc.

    If a group of people got together I'm sure the discounts would be better than the buyers club.

    I noticed that it pays to compare because some items are really cheaper but others are more expensive but I found that on several items there were big discounts available. So I shopped comparing prices and not relying on what they claim the retail price is.

    I found products which are €2.32 in major supermarkets (Tesco/superquinn/Dunnes) but only €1.62 with them. That is an easy saving for me.

    I found haircare products (yes I am a brand snob) that are 2 for 9.00 in Boots or Tesco but only €3.24 each in buyersclub.

    Now I also found some items at buyersclub which are really more expensive, so the best is as always to shop around.

    So I'm going to shop with them comparing prices, giving that I usually only shop once a month for non fresh food the savings are good for me.

    I know it's OT but does anybody know how to get their bloody ad off the Boards page, or even reduce it in size? It takes up about 25% and stops me from selecting pages and from previewing posts etc.

    which browser are you using? get google chrome and then download the 'adblock plus' plugin.

    I use Google Chrome with the Ad Blocker app. It makes internet viewing a lot more pleasurable and easier on the eye.

    Thanks for that,did the trick. I do use Chrome but had to take Ad Blocker off for some reason which escapes my memory at the moment. No doubt I'll find out soon. :rolleyes:

    I ordered with these guys last week and my order was sent the next day via courier. No complaints here, used my living social voucher and 10% discount, was also given free delivery at checkout. Items were well packaged, I got lots of stuff from stationary and kids books to deodorants and american foodstuffs and I will be ordering again.
