Cheapest I've seen them

At current exchange rate it's working out at about €1.30 for a pack of 60 wipes

You'd have to order sh*tloads(pun intended) to get free delivery.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 27-09-2016 05:57PM

Excellent price compared to the usual offers of 2.50 or at best 2 EUR in shops here. Fyi the 9 pack was only 6.75 GBP last week (about 8 EUR) - best price I've seen on water wipes.

just watch out 'cause they do carry a "best before date"... the one's I bought before the summer "expire" in Sept 2017. just saying in case someone was thinking of buying a mother load
if 99% is water as they claim, it must be that 1% that spoils!

Water purchased in a shop has a best before date, manufacturers just stick it on for a laugh. Also best before just means that it won't be at its best, it's still usable though.

If you need them quick, they are €2 a pack in Tesco this week. And Joyce's in Galway.

Mickalus · 28-09-2016 10:37AM

They'll dry out eventually, hence the best before date.

RichardoKhan · 28-09-2016 11:08AM

3 month old baby & new mum ensures NO time to dry out or expire! :cool:

Tradnuts · 28-09-2016 11:26AM

They are down to 2 euro in Dunnes today.
Using the €10 off €50 voucher gives 20% off.
So working out at €1.60.
Not bad at all.

Got 10 packs.

peckerhead · 28-09-2016 12:19PM

I didn't realise Dunnes' €10 off €50 spend vouchers were back in circulation... are they appearing in the newspapers or what? Have to buy food and drink for a big party soon and would happily buy a couple of copies of the Sunday Rag if it'll save me 20% on that bill!

You just have to spend €50 in Dunnes and you will get a voucher at the end of your receipt to use on your next visit.

peckerhead · 28-09-2016 12:35PM

Ah. So it's more like €10 off if you spend €100, really... still worth splitting the shop, I guess — thanks!

It regenerates indefinitely though - use it and you get another

Are these so different at €1.35 a pack? I use them for cleaning a bulldogs face so forgive my lack of knowledge on baby stuff!

Yeah, those things are full of various chemicals which can have an effect on sensitive skin. The water wipes are literally just water.

I suspect the skin of a bulldog might be less sensitive!

CollyFlower · 29-09-2016 12:01AM

I don't get why these wipes are a bargain @ 15??? Can you tell me what's so great about them?

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 29-09-2016 12:25AM

They contain no unnecessary man made chemicals. Water and grapefruit juice only.

Edited.

Grapefruit juice contains chemicals - chemicals that can, for instance, cause potentially serious adverse interactions with certain medications.

Just saying. I'm sure the percentage of grapefruit juice here is negligible.

yup, but it is less then 1% of the product.

The product also contains 99% dihydrogen monoxide, which is guaranteed to kill you if you consume enough of it!

dihydrogen monoxide being the scientific name for water and consuming enough of it being otherwise called drowning! Haha sorry I couldn't resist it, I love this joke

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 29-09-2016 08:11AM

Medications that you ingest. Try not eat or swallow the water wipes.

Explaining it sort of kills the joke though

got two boxes of the 12 packs thanks!

Every €50 you spend earns you a voucher. But yea, you have to come back in the next 10 days and spend another €50 to use it. Clearly they want you to do your weekly shop there so if you spend €100 a week you'd be saving €20 each week indefinitely. This has been going on for many months now.

Unnecessary? other manufacturers do not just put them in for a laugh. Moist towels are a perfect breeding ground for bacteria & mould.

I saw these articles before about them,

I've tried many brands and I have to say I genuinely found them to be the best wipe, just in pure wipe-ability and lack of rash afterwards (which some others seem to cause). Zero problems with mold, as described above.

Some times, companies can add a lot of preservatives as it allows them to have a very long shelf life, which makes logistics easier. These don't have a long shelf life.

Also companies can add scents as they think it will help sell them better if it covers up the smell of poo. Finally they can add chemicals so they can use cheaper materials to save costs.

There are lots of reasons why companies might do things that aren't generally beneficial for us. For instance I was shocked when I looked at the side of the pack of "natural" baby porridge, it contained 40% sugar!!!!!!

Please tell me a single reason why baby porridge needs to contain so much sugar?

Often companies can do things which aren't generally healthy or good in the pursuit of profits.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 29-09-2016 06:06PM

Yes, unnecessary. BK summed it up nicely in above post.

If someone uses water wipes this is the cheapest you will get them anywhere.

The amazon ones I got this week are dated November 2017.

lovehathi · 29-09-2016 07:32PM

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 29-09-2016 07:50PM

i understand, but it doesn't happen for all the item.

It happens for items sold by Amazon. They always add Irish VAT. Products sold by smaller retailers on Amazon don't necessarily do it *

* There is a certain amount of sales to Ireland after which revenue rules require them to apply Irish VAT.
