Hi, I was wondering does anyone know what time the Aldi in oranmore opens in the morning? Checked the website and says 9 but on the store finder it says 8am. Thank you...

Is there anyone who will source and fit a tow bar for a good price? Maybe a second hand one?

I've been quoted E650 for a tow bar but the car is nearly 10 years old and we only want to put a few bikes on the back so I just can't justify that price. Tx.

I would recommend Premium Towbars. Good value and come to your house to do the job too!

Best places to buy grinded coffee beans? I heard calander coffee is good

beardybrewer · 03-06-2021 8:23pm

I'd recommend both of these:

https://3fe.com/
https://badgeranddodo.ie/

03-06-2021 8:43pm

Matt's Sandwiches do bags of Barn coffee which I'd highly recommend trying. Not cheap though. Saw them in Ground & Co in Salthill the last time I was in too.

Worth picking up a cheap burr grinder and getting whole beans but that's probably a topic for another forum!

cooperguy · 03-06-2021 8:56pm

I've been buying my coffee from 3fe.ie and cloudpicker.ie for the last while. 3fe only roast the beans the morning after you order them and ship it the following day. Arrives very quick.

Urban Grind also sell 3fe coffee and will grind it for you when you buy it.

You could order from directly from calendar https://calendarcoffee.ie/
Eán and the Barista Bus guy use their coffee if you want to try it first. It's
As someone else mentioned you can get 3fe coffee from Urban Grind and they'll grind the beans for whatever type of machine you use at home. I don't think it was any more expensive than ordering the same size bag at home.
Personally I like the Calendar coffee the best but 3fe and the others mentioned aren't far behind

You will have loads of options. Where are you staying?
In Eyre Square, O’Connells is class, the Púcan around the corner. I think the Skeff have tables out in the square.
A whole new outdoor area opening up down in Woodquay with plenty of pubs down there, or head for the West End towards Monroe’s, Taylors etc. A bit of fine weather, the craic will be mighty regardless of what days you are out.

We are booked into the Hardiman on Eyre square so any where around town would suit . Thanks for the suggestions

Crops up every so often but apart from Joyce's in Doughiska where else can you find coin machines that take coins for a fee? It's generally around 10%

TIA

SuperValu should have it. La Napoletana Pizza flour. But they are sneaky and don't have it with the rest of the flour. It's with the Italian stuff. You can also get Doves Farm Pizza Flour in Evergreens.
McCambridge's and Morton's of Galway may be worth a look.

Could you try taking them yourself? We did photos ourselves on a GSLR camera for the US passports. Then had them printed on the machines at the chemist.

Not sure but maybe try Galway Trophy Centre on Domnick Street. They can probably point you in the right direction if they don't do them

I guess I could try that. It's for our son. I know they are pretty strict on the pictures. When I renewed mine as a child, they didn't accept them and we were sent down the road to a chemist. Due to COVID-19, you have a strict appointment window at the embassy so hoping to get it right the first time.

We've done the kids' ones ourselves, too. For very little kids I think it's easier to take the picture at home because you can just do it when they're in a good mood rather than going out to get them done and when you get there child is cranky/won't sit still etc. But you have to have a white/pale wall you can use as the background. You should be able to crop it on your computer or even your phone if you have one with a decent camera. There's info on sizing here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos/photo-composition-template.html

And if you don't want to do the sizing yourself this website says they will help you get the format correct (for a fee): https://www.123passportphoto.com/

I've seen a lot of people recommend Staffords wood pellets from Woodies as they have no glue/binders in them. I haven't tried them yet though as I bought a few bags of pellets online from A Room Outside

I've only bought firewood from Eco Fuel but I know they do Wood Pellets too.

They're the most professional solid fuel operator around so I'd imagine the quality is good. No idea how the price compares but these guys wouldn't be the cheapest normally, as a rule.

Got these from them, thanks. Asked for pellets for pizza oven and they said these will do. Nothing about food safe on packaging but I'm sure they are grand.

Any recommendations for where to buy a car battery ? Halfords seems the obvious but definitely not cheap.

Any motor factors.
If you ask in Motors forum with more details they will help.
