Did anyone go to this? Where the Christmas decorations any good?

I was dropping my neighbours to the airport on Saturday afternoon and was going to call in on my way back however the traffic was crazy so didn't bother.

kitten_k · 09-09-2019 6:43pm

Yea i went, got a Nordic boy and girl, new baubles and a yankee candle. They also has Christmas trees, ornaments and lights.

Tesco have the Quality Street 650g tub for €3.99

tscul32 · 12-09-2019 10:47pm

Local tesco had them at 3.99 this evening and I was explaining to one of the little elves that they were price matching aldi. Became a marketing lesson when he asked why tesco were limiting to 4 per customer when they could get as many as they wanted in aldi. To be fair to him he did seem to grasp it, might have a future in business.

DvB · 13-09-2019 9:04am

Off to Aldi on my way home tonight so... nom nom.

kitten_k · 13-09-2019 9:05am

Lidl are doing selected bottles of wine for €5 per bottle

tscul32 · 17-09-2019 9:40am

All the tubs are 3.99 now in tesco

Toto Wolfcastle · 21-09-2019 5:56pm

The Next website is completely infuriating, but if you search for 'Christmas' and filter by Sale there are some Christmas jumpers and pyjamas and decorations. Lots sold out already, and mainly menswear and kids available but it might be worth a look.

Loughc · 21-09-2019 8:21pm

Dunnes have 2 for €10 on sweets and biscuit tins. If you have the €5 off voucher if you get 4 for €20 it’ll only cost you €15 making it €3.75 a tin.

dueaug · 22-09-2019 7:45pm

For those of you with little 'uns the Smyths €10 off €50 starts on Tuesday.

I was saying this to someone at the weekend and they quite rightly pointed its the same as €10 off €50.

I'm sure some of you noticed and were too kind to say it to me

OUTDOORLASS · 03-10-2019 3:25pm

Boots have a lovely gift ..Millie Macintosh make up set for E24....would suit many ages.
I.v bought 4 for my nieces.....Think the offer is ending soon. They also had a
Sanctuary set for E24..but I.v bought that range loads of times for lots of people....so
I cant buy it anymore......

Aldi has a 99 liter chest freezer in stock on Sunday 13th for €129.99.
It's a handy enough size. Bigger than the Currys 60 litre one for €109.00.
They are also a lot more Aldi stores around and they'd be no delivery charges.
There's also a 3 year warranty often with cheaper items you only get 1 or 2 years.

freshpopcorn · 14-10-2019 5:28pm

Use code CHZW20 to get 20% off Lily O'Brien's.

Christmas lovers, can anyone remember when Homestore&More usually have their Christmas trees half price? I'm trying to be organised - missed it last year!

From what I remember they don't reduce most of Christmas decoration till December maybe very late November. Or do what we do and go up between Christmas and New Year, when they are nearly giving stuff away, and stock up for next Christmas.

freshpopcorn · 20-10-2019 6:48pm

Up to 70% off at the GAAstore.com.
I'm not sure of it's any good.

Lots of people buying decorations in TK Maxx today. They have some very nice stuff. Even in TK some items were still a little pricey but I was very very tempted (actually picked up a fantastic new wreath for the door).

Toto Wolfcastle · 21-10-2019 9:49am

At the risk of upsetting some people, H&M has some of their Christmas jumpers in the sale.

Loughc · 22-10-2019 12:49pm

M&S have 20% off their Christmas Decorations at the moment.

freshpopcorn · 24-10-2019 7:39pm

This is the cheapest I've seen Chocolate Kimberly!(They may go cheaper tough)

Oh, a good price

DvB · 24-10-2019 7:49pm

Always a sign we're getting into the thick of it when the alcohol (spirits) start being included in the specials.

I think I have all my Christmas drinks bought now, which is great because they will be stashed away and forgotten about until the time comes

Same here on the spirits, though we may end up picking up another bottle of Bacardi, the beers we'll leave until closer to christmas though. TBH we've nowhere to store anything atm so it not like we have much of a choice

We are lucky to have a stash place for slabs of beer and soft drinks.
Scared to buy boxes of sweets though because there is a locust child and friends who will hoover them up if they are found!

Postgrad10 · 25-10-2019 9:47am

We’re the same with sweets and biscuits. I could ignore a stash until December but the 2 others in my house, they wouldn’t be there past this weekend. If I buy the odd packet of crisps for myself, I have to hide it in my room.

JustMe,K · 25-10-2019 10:06am

Its a nightmare isn't it - the concept of buying something and just leaving it there is lost on some people! And dont get me started on why they would assume that if something is deliberately out of sight that it was NEVER for general consumption anyway!

If I had a locked cupboard, the power drill would come out and the door would be taken off the hinges. And probably around 3AM.

Present shopping I think will have to wait till next pay day so hopefully they have this running in about 3 weeks time, unlikely I know

And 2 euro cheaper than Tesco/lidl. Although I absolutely despise our local centra for hygiene reasons.

Yeah if you are going for coke, you might as well get the real thing but drink in moderation.

I’m a Pepsi Max girl but since I switched from regular Coke to Diet Coke a few years ago I can’t stand the flavour of regular Coke.
