So much chocolate reduced:( Managed to pick up 5 of the 97c Cadburys variety bags, and told another lady that they were reduced and she took the remaining 3 or 4 in Mahon. Going to use them instead of selection boxes!! Works out a lot cheaper. (They look like the pic but there are flakes instead of moros)

You have to get up early to catch them.

If the night staff packing the shelves haven't bought them, they generally are gone by lunchtime.
Also there is usually not that many of each item.
example: shelf space for plenty roll 4 pack is probably 12 to 14 packs max.

Checked for the following in Tescos Greystones, but with no luck:

- HP 16GB USB stick (largest they had in this HP range was 4GB)
- Cadburys variety bags (had the larger 'Max Mini' bags)
- 1.5 meter HDMI cable (were all 2 meter)
- Milka Cream Bars (had a few other flavours)

The Tesco version of terry's chocolate orange are 82 cent in Clonmel.

I thought Tesco had stopped refunding the full price amount, and were only giving back the amount you were overcharged now?!

I know our local tesco do this, they said it was a change to the refund poilcy.

Yawns · 10-12-2011 02:51PM

Same in Naas, carlow portlaoise, tallaght. Only refund the the amount overcharged.

OH + mini me just came in from Cabra with a bag full of the variety bags, all free because of the €10 off vouchers for the first 3 weeks, plenty left, get shopping.

snubbleste · 10-12-2011 03:14PM

Could someone post the barcode for the Cadbury Variety bag or the normal cost of it?
Milka bars are 1.35 in my local, found some Mint Crisp for 39c, some 4 pack Mentos for 80c, and there was still a few Toblerone dark for 12c...and then I arrived.

CWone · 10-12-2011 03:16PM

Jeez, never see any of these bargains in Crumlin!

I thought that too, but just the other week I got nabbed for two 6 pks of yoghurt that was supposed to 2for1 but charged for both... I was refunded twice the value of one 6 pk (€7.18 I think) which I wasn't going to argue about.

This was in Tallaght store. The girl at CS said that because I was overcharged, policy was to refund double the difference. Dnt know where she got €7.90 from but hey, I wasn't arguing!

et101 · 10-12-2011 09:51PM

Found them!! I was looking for bags but I found the little selection packs I guess that's what you were talking about. 75c a steal

Oh no you will have the truth brigade on your case, equivalent of stealing, people loosing their jobs because of your actions, giving boardies a bad name etc etc!!! I'd take the money and run too what's seldom is wonderful

Last week I finally saw a boards bargain alert in the Galway Tesco, in the Tesco Toy sop at the back of the S.C. Behind the counter they had the 16gb HP USB flash drive (HP model v195b), they were marked €39.99, but I thought I'd chance it and asked for 4 of them, the cashier looked at me like I was mad and when he rang them up they came up at €7.99 each. There were 2-3 left on the shelf and after seeing the price he then reached back and took the remaining ones and put them under the counter. Now maybe he was a conscientious employee or maybe he was saving them for himself. I have a lot of nieces and nefews and I thought they'd make great Christmas pressies. Anyway I decided to keep one for myself, it seemed to work fine on my laptop, but it doesn't seem to read in my DVD player, media player, PS3 or my USB port on my car radio. I've since tested it in two PCs and it works, but does seem to have connection problems and I had to wiggle it to get it to work. I've tried re-formating the drive, but no joy. It is formatted for Fat32, which is the right format, but it still won't work. So it will probably work for saving computer files for work and school, but maybe nothing else. Now did anyone else have this problem, am I doing something wrong or did I just get a lemon? I still have 3 more I could try but I wanted them for presents. Maybe this alert wasn't such a good bargain.

wmpdd3 · 11-12-2011 02:13AM

I bought a cheap 8g HP flash drive a few moths ago, it wouldn't work on my PC as but workes fine on my partners windows 7 laptop. Same thing only saved files etc on mine.

the 75c selection boxes are blue plastic wrapped around a tray, as apposed to the 'box'. They are cadbury's and are one of the only ones that have a fudge in them. Sorry cant find a pic online.

As these dont have a full usb connector you can put them in upside down. Most of the time thats the issue, ours work fine in all the computers, the wii, the car stereo and bravia tv.

I got a few of these and they all work perfectly, I've saved everything from documents to movies and played them in everything from TV to car radio, no problem. As Moodrater says, some appliances might require you to insert them contact to contact.
On another point, there were still a few of these in my local Tesco on Monday, priced at €39.99 and scanning at €7.99 but when I checked last night they wouldn't scan at all.
