Where to get ( x ) in Waterford City?

looksee

Cheapest means not kiln dried, so they will smoulder dismally rather than burn. Go to a reasonably reputable source rather than 'by the roadside'. Presumably if you are prepared to buy and store in a dry place (for a good few months, 12 for preference) you could buy the non-dried ones. The type of wood matters too, though I do not know much about that.

Looking for Kopparberg Apple or Pear Cider if anyone knows where I can purchase?

Not sure if you got sorted but I saw the Kopparberg Pear in Lidl Ardkeen this morning! They had Strawberry & Lime, Raspberry and Mixed Fruits varieties too but no Apple funnily enough.

Want to build a small fence 10ft wide x 5'

Anyone know where I could get old scaffolding boards or any old boards that are a bit strong.

Have a look in the scrap yard on the Tramore Road - on the slip road on the left. Can't remember the name. Its a scrap metal place but they do have scaffolding planks sometimes.

Hi all, can anyone recommend an Opticians in town that can do prescription sports goggles? And maybe how much I could expect to pay? Cheers

Did you try any of the butchers in the Shopping centre, I used to get them in Billy Murphys in the past. I now get them in the Kilmacow argi centre on the old Dublin road, about 1 km past the nightcap, probably a bit to far out for you though.

What's the difference between free range in a supermarket and real free range?

Any farmers market would probably be worth trying too.

So are illegal substances but you know yourself!!

kayaksurfbum

I'll try a butchers and see what they have. Been an egg snob now, but the difference in supermarket eggs and actual free range eggs is huge when you see the eggs next to each other!

There might be a good black market trade in illegal free range eggs!

deisemum

There's a big difference between true free range eggs and the commercial variety of most free range eggs both in the flavour of the eggs and colour of the yolks and in the welfare of the birds.

It remains legal within the EU for poultry producers to routinely mass-medicate flocks of birds with antibiotics even when no disease has been diagnosed in any birds within the group. Dye is added to their feed to put some colour in the yolks.

Free range doesn't mean the poultry has been outdoors, it just means they have access to it but it's usually via small openings but most are too traumatised to leave the barns or it's blocked by other birds.

I think Glenmore Eggs are still stocked in Ardkeen Stores, I've got my own hens so don't pay much attention to who stocks which eggs.

This where to get rid query - CDs. Not music but data CDs, got quite a few and would like to dispose of them and the cases rather than sticking them in the black bin if possible.

You could try the Kilbarry dump. They might have some method.

Can anyone suggest where I can buy locally produced honey near to Waterford/Tramore please?

danjo-xx

Ardkeen stores sells west waterford produced honey if that is any good to you.

Deise Honey comes to us from Pat & Sheila Deasy of We Bee Farm in West Waterford, producing high quality local honey from their apiaries in the Blackwater and Bride river valleys. All of the Deasy’s bees are native dark bees; Pat has a passion for nature and is the chairman of the Native Irish Honey Bee Society. The Deasy’s also provides a crop pollination service to farmers in the area. The nectar & pollen are sourced from the local orchards, the flowering agricultural crops and the natural flora of the valleys, giving the honey a distinct floral taste. The main crop is harvested in late August. As with all small batch production there are fluctuations of availability to coincide with the seasons and nature.

looksee

Thank you, that was the one I was looking for. I could not find any useful links to them. I had also looked on the Ardkeen store page but could not find it. I will go in and get some, thanks! Though I suppose this might be a low time of the year.

danjo-xx

Sorry I should have given the link.

Worth checking Homestore and More - their monthly half price offer is on suitcases for May.

I checked them out in local store in Dublin and the quality is dreadful. Barely worth the "half price" and an absolute ripoff if they were ever sold at full price.

Funny - you never see any of their "half price" offers actually on sale at full price. Surprised people never notice that.

My own opinion is they are an expensive store selling generally poor quality products.

This suitcase is something we would use about once a year for about 2 weeks .Surely the quality would stand up to this pressure ?

TK Maxx have a variety of suitcases.

Suitcases are good example of getting what you pay for - a good one will last a bad one will leave you gathering your clothes etc off the pavement in the rain.

Hadn't seen the cases in person, just the ad!

I know someone else recommended Debenhams and if you can get cases there on sale they are good quality. Also have a really long warranty-I had one where the zip broke after a few years and when I asked in store about repair they said they'd replace it free of charge even with no receipt. Full price they are expensive but they often have 'last seasons' designs on offer!
