Freeze the scones - when defrosted, microwave for 10 seconds and the should be ok to eat.

Never thought of that, Thanks

KC Peaches Nassau St Dublin, first from this location but their food is usually yummy.

Something strange happening in Aldi Cabra they had 16 boxes available earlier.

Did you get up pick your own food in KC Peaches or was the surprise bag pre prepared?

Tom99611139 · 10-05-2023 11:54AM

That one was pre prepared, but I have ordered from dame St, and was given two empty containers to fill with whatever I wanted.

Decided to try the Paddy Box.

Supposedly worth €60 for 19.99

Tom99611139 · 11-05-2023 07:26PM

Not much I'd eat in that, €20 seems a lot probably because there is not a lot there that I'd personally eat.

I’m not sure if I think it’s good or not. I was gonna try it but might think otherwise.

That's looks like it's worth about €25 max.

crayon80 · 11-05-2023 09:24PM

About a euro an item? Not a huge bargain given they're all short dated but paying €3 each is crazy pricing. Thanks for sharing pic

rameire · 11-05-2023 10:28PM

Just for info nothing is short dated, many months left on all items.

I think I calculated around 32 but yep, it's not 60.

Homelander · 12-05-2023 07:02AM

I would say it's absolutely a bargain at €20 if you appreciate what comes in it. I mean, the items on the box itself alone would cost > €25 at retail, excluding everything else.

A bargain can be very subjective and they're not items I'd buy otherwise myself, but that's a good haul for €20.

Any pictures of this box that apparently could cost 25 euro lol

gussieg · 12-05-2023 11:13AM

when the whole point is that youre getting 60 euro worth for 19.99, thats what should be there. so basically seems like they have found a new way to just sell their regular stuff.

I'm talking about the items literally placed on the box in the photo. Regardless of whether you'd pay those prices or not, those four chocolate bars are going to cost a lot more than than your average large Dairy Milk.

Same for the fancy biscuits, the fancy cordial, and the fancy chutney. Not gonna cost the same as a pack of digestives, Mi-Wadi and own-brand relish.

Then there's everything else, the hot chocolate packs, the 6-pack of Tayto, gourmet popcorn, the Lindt chocolates, 2 club milk multipacks, 2 packs of fingers, and two packs of sweets.

Anyone might not personally see the value, but it is there based on what the items would normally sell for.

Decent haul with the Surf and Turf box from Supervalu Knocklyon. They were very trusting, didn't ask to see the app or make me wipe the order.

I had other stuff to get, so I ended up explaining the TGTG app to the cashier, who was impressed!

Salmon, sea bass, buffalo burgers, sausages, all expiring today, so all in the freezer.

gussieg · 31-05-2023 10:15PM

Boojum, the hipster foodies choice , is now on 2g2go. Very tempted.

All late enough collection times.

PublicBen · 01-06-2023 07:51PM

Supervalu Finglas - surf and turf box for €5.99. Turkey burgers out of date. And it took them 15 minutes to find someone who knew what 2G2G was.

What do you mean by out of date. Use by or Best before? If it is use by then they should not be selling that at all. It's illegal and dangerous to sell food past its use by date.

gussieg · 01-06-2023 09:45PM

Collected from boojum, got choices , a new thing for me with tgtg, and enough food in the container for 2 dinners easily, I'm stuffed already with rice beans chicken veg and salsa. Really fast and quite friendly , may be late for most though. Certainly better than the stingy Lennox st grocer bag.

By out of date I meant gone by the “use by date” - and yes, I agree should not be included in a magic bag.

PublicBen · 05-06-2023 07:38PM

Hampers & Co. Paid €26.66 for a value of €80. I’ve got prices for everything online and comes in at less than €60

Products at bottom of pic all bbb 31/05/2023. Everything else relatively ok dates on them.

Got a junior bag from James Whelan in the Swan Centre earlier. Two hache burgers (no idea) and four chicken fajitas worth €15 in total. Happy enough.

Heading back to Rathmines shortly for a bag I just nabbed from Deli 613, which is the new Jewish deli the Irish Times absolutely raved about the other week. Really hoping it's not all just pastries! Will report back.
