5 random Tesco clearance lines

Ok, back from Clearwater, a lot of running around from staff moving/changing things but that was just management cracking the whip, must have had a flip chart meeting with the head of marketing, going forward.:rolleyes:
Anyway, thank's Louise your Guerilla marketing has lightened my pocket by €132.24 and seen no bargains other than Hodgins sausages €1:) and Jelly Squirms 1/2 price.
OH spotted a 37" LG not on special offer but at €299 think my pocket is getting another hiding when they have them back in stock, thanks again Louise.

Dare I ask what did you buy for €132.24 and was there more of it?

This is from top of head
Full HD 1080, Dyn contrast 60,000.1, Freeview, don't think it's Soarview but I'm with a cable provider.
Looks fine to me, the same Tv in 32" was €50 off at €349 and the 42" was around €580, just think the 37" is not too popular because it's in between the other two.
Staff said only 1 or 2 come in at a time, how well she knew that.:rolleyes:

Soarer · 07-10-2011 03:41PM

Thanks for that.
€299 for a branded FullHD 37" set is not to be sniffed at.

Wish I had access to Clearwater!:rolleyes:

Saw some reduced Rolson branded DIY stuff in Artane branch.

3-metre measuring tape
Precision Screwdriver set
Magnetic spirit level
Diamond knife sharpener pen
Multi Allen Key

€0.93 each.

Voltage testing screwdrivers (2-pack)
Drill dust collector
DIY gloves
Spanner set

€0.32 each.

There was other stuff too but can't remember the pricing.

Same Rolson reductions in Tullamore.

They also had Junior Hacksaws for 6 cents

Don't think this is a special, any Tesco store that has TV's should have them, it's the LCD LD 450 model by the way, forgot to say.

Bought the 32" version from Amazon the other week!:o

Great set in all fairness, and Saorview compatible by all accounts.

For the 37" €299 very cheap I suppose its old stock as the LK has replaced it.

Much of a difference in the two? what's extra with the LK?

Thank you for indulging my interest, was hoping you managed to snag a laptop.

General consensus is that theres no difference:

Both the ld and lk sets are affected by the so called 'panel lottery' - the panel in these tvs may be made by any one of several manufacturers, you may be delighted or you may be very disappointed. Its all detailed in the threads above.

Was in Tesco earlier and saw Braun shaver on shelf - no price. Took to scanner which said contact staff member. Brought to checkout and was told that it wasn't on the system so it shouldn't be on the shelf. When I said that there were 2 more on the shelf someone was called immediately to take them away. They are the previous version of a current model which would make you think that they should be clearance stock. Call me a cynic but it would make you wonder if they will ever reappear on the shelves. Does anyone with contacts in Tesco know why / how this happens ???

:eek: Went in for a €40 telly and came out with €132 of sweets and sausages.
You're what Tesco marketing executives wet dreams are made of.:eek:

Most of the stuff they are moving is from the aisles that grass grows on. They probably make more from the bread aisle than the electrics.
I'd make sure those tellys are Saorview compatible as I'd say there's plenty of analog only stuff that will have to be ditched before 2012.

That Rolson stuff is not just been discounted, saw that there last week and ignored.

Unaffected by cynical marketing ploys. (genuine marketing ploys only please:D)

I scanned the Samsung camera today, it shows up at full price. Also scanned the last remaining HP 16GB USB key, again full price.
The assistant who canceled the items said shes done this umpteen times today and they should put up a sign to indicate that the clearance is now over.

I can confirm there was a laptop for €150 (but it was ancient, windows vista 1gb ram etc.) Samsung ES28 cameras are €7-10 depending on what colour you get. No €40 (or 89 cent :rolleyes:) TVs. And prices don't change at midnight btw, more like 6 a.m.

louisefl · 07-10-2011 11:02PM

the tvs are as follows cello 32inch €199 toshiba 42inch €349

Ok for the price but pretty old tech 2004 and never found them very satisfactory, sound quality poor compared to bluetooth. Pretty sure they've been reduced for ages so, seen some recently if someone really needs..

Well it is a good deal if you stereo doesn't have bluetooth, a headphone jack, usb socket etc. When there were popular I remember driving around bestbuy carpark in massachucettes deciding where to park based on what music other people were playing on their tunecasts, great fun.
