    Fellow Elves I know some of you have most of your shopping done, can anyone recommend some good Irish sites or where on Amazon I would pick up some goods deals on hair sets high street names or professional hair salon products sets, or any self tanning sets? thanks

    I seen a great deal on Facebook from a hair salon but its no where near me.

    I've also just seen this on FB. Hope it's true - I'll be in to get my Christmas tree then I think.

    The Woodies sale annoys me as the original price of everything in the "50% sale" is stupid high. I'd say they don't sell anything at the original price.

    Shops can't advertise a price reduction unless the item was for sale at the original price at some stage. I saw how Woodies do this last year. I was in one day and they stocking the shelves with their Christmas items and they were all advertised at full price. The next day I went in they had the "50% sale" prices up.

    I think this is misleading as people think they are getting great deals when in reality they are paying the actual real price. Advertising this "50% sale" gets a lot of people in to their store too. Most probably purchase a few other non Christmas related items whilst in there.

    Ah don't tell me that - I bought a set of lights in there yesterday!!! Although they were low on stock & I really really liked them. Didn't really want to take a chance on waiting on the sale.

    This so true! I never buy full price from them. I've been in a few times looking at stuff cause I love it but even some of the stockings are crazy priced. This crack of almost E20 for a plate is madness. Last year I bought lovely Santa plates for E3.50 in Woodies

    I got my lights in Homestore and More a couple of weeks ago.
    I knew they'd be half price by the end of the month but I just didn't want to risk waiting!

    Aww damn just saw this now bought the 18 pack in Tesco today for €6 but would have bought the 24 pack for €8.

    Only lights half price in Homestore and more. Just been in for mine.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,519 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    If anyone is passing through Schiphol airport, they have 1 litre bottles of flavoured Baileys (salted caramel etc) and Tanqueray gin for €14. There are other deals also, but those two stood out to me

    If it's any consolation, I did the same.
    Bought the 18pk in Tesco, popped into Dealz and saw the 24pk. Didn't buy them.

    Went home, decided I'd get the 24pk the next day but when I went back they were all gone.

    Yeah I was in the one in Drogheda and had a good chat with one of the lads. He reckons they won't go to half price on the Christmas Trees because they are selling well at the minute :( Will wait until beginning of December then go for it I think.

    Lights were good value though, was glad I didn't buy any in Woodies yesterday.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 671 ✭✭✭Shoe Lover


    According to one of the staff in my local Woodies, Christmas Trees are going to half price there next week. Not sure how accurate that is though!
