    Hi

    Just a Monday quickie:

    Sandisk Cruzer Flash Drives in Tesco

    4GB = €3.43
    8GB = €8.02

    Mostly these are kept behind the service desk and there's a good chance the price won't be updated so if you find a shop that has them, ask them to check the price. Not sure how great this deal is compared to online but there's no wait time and you can be guaranteed they're genuine.
    They're a clearance line so when they are gone they are gone so they may be hard to find, i have included a pic so you can identify easily.

    Oh yeah, probably gonna be impossible to get but I got a WD 320gb portable hard drive for €16 and they had 500gb and 1TB desktop external hard drives for €6 and €12!!!!!

    Keep your eyes peeled, there is a lot of clearance lines around but you need to fish them out, fill a basket and head to the price checker!!!!

    here's that pic:

    Sorry to go OT but does every store have a price checker? Can't seem to find one in Dun Laoghaire - anyone know where it is?

    Sandisk Cruzers are soooo sloooooow. You may prefer to spend a bit extra money on faster devices.

    They are? like how slow? suitable for generally storing word docs etc? or just slow with images or painfully nightmarishly slow on everything?

    God almighty... You see a BA from a fellow Boardsie, you go and buy 11 of them and then come back here and brag about it... What a douche and what a way to show what a team player you are...

    And I don't care if they were 'friends or family', let them get up off their asses if they wanted them at that price. More likely going to be on adverts.ie or eBay...

    I'm a bit sick of reading about people buying up ridiculous amounts of stuff on here after getting the tip-off on here..same as the eejit earlier today who bought ELEVEN pairs of headphones on another thread...

    I'll be buying 11 if they're available in my local.

    Why, What's the problem in someone buying more than one?

    Do you need 11? what are you doing with them?
    Seems a bit unfair, is what I'd imagine people will think, coming on BA and then scooping up everything. I guess thats what people will think, I dont think its in the spirit?

    the first rule of bargain alerts club is you do not talk about buying in bulk to sell on ebay

    the second rule of bargain alerts club is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT BUYING IN BULK TO SELL ON EBAY!

    I'll buy two for myself to use, I think thats ok, but 11/all? hmmmm
    I got an Epson wireless MFD printer in tescos at a great price through BA, there was if i recal that one left, vague about the numbers left, but there was no more than a few left anyway. I appreciate that the previous people didnt just hoover up theirs and the remaining ones to flog, as i needed it (fingers crossed it holds out/as long as my HP hmm we'll see).

    Im sure at the time there were people talking about hoovering up one for themselves and whatever they could get their hooks on, seems kinda low is all :(

    Ya hear that? That is sound of my belief in humanity slipping away. The general public have zero left, zero. Massive grumpy face and sad face.

    Yes, is that a mistype? OP also mentioned that he got a WD 320gb portable hard drive for €16, could anyone confirm this?

    For people who can't get these at Tesco, SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB Flash Drive 16GB is £10.99 @Amazon

    +1. This coupled with the 40 pair of sonys yesterday. It seems to be the easiest way to rile up BA regulars:rolleyes:

    I seen one of these yesterday and it still scanned in at 5x.00 € at the price checker in the shop, does it become cheaper once it goes through the till ?

    Or is it only reduced in certain stores
