More Tesco Bargains [No Off-Topic Chat - See Post #1]

Tesco Maynooth appear to have put out another 20 or so laptops.

Lenovo G555s- the upgraded version- Wireless N, Windows 7 HP, 500Gb Hard-drive, 4Gb RAM, 15.6" Full HD screen, Radeon HD 4200 graphics, 2.2 Ghz dual core AMD processor. Price 199 (at least 10 of these there). Has the sticker 'LENOVOG555-M328BUK-4GBUPGR' over the spec details- aka- I think it originally had 2Gb RAM- but its been factory upgraded to 4Gb. Wireless is Atheros- and is single band Wireless N. Decent enough spec- its not going to win any awards- but for the price, its a complete steal.

Lenovo Celeron dual core 1.8Ghz. 1 Gb RAM. 80Gb HDD. Windows Vista (AVOID) (they only had 2 of these- thankfully)

Acers- same Celeron, 80Gb HDD crap as the Lenovo ones- AVOID

Toshiba 10.1" tablets with Android 3.1- 1Gb RAM, 16Gb Storage, HDMI Out, Processor- nVidia Tegra 3 dual core 1.2Ghz (actually looks quite nice). Price 199 (only two left- but no-one seems to be even looking at them- one is on the shelf with the laptops- the other is buried at the bottom of the basket of ink cartridges and other crap they're trying to get shot of). For a 10" tablet- its good value, though personally- I'd rather the Nexus.

Gardening stuff pretty much gone- I got the last set of shears, and 2 shovels and forks at between 75 and 90% off. If you want little pots to grow your own peppers or tomato plants- i.e. little projects for kids- they're reduced to 25c each. Miracle grow lawn patch mender (or whatever its called) is now E3 a box (75% off). Lovely little kneeling mats for kids- ladybugs and frogs- 75c each.

They have a deal on Huggies wipes at the front of the store- so no-one seems to be touching the 1 Euro Simple 80 pack wipes which are part of the Crazy specials. I took a full box of 12 (it said there was a customer quota of 3- but the checkout guy didn't care).

Couple of odd bargains- E29 Technika Blu-ray player. E49 Panasonic Bluray player (don't ask me the models).

More TVs out- Sony 32"s @ 349 (only 5 or 6 of them- no-one is even looking at them given the price)

100Grm Carte Noire coffee still reduced to 3.49 (the 200grm jar is an eye watering 9.65)

Sparkling or still 2 litre Riverrock- 1.65 each (or, according to the sign- '3 for 2 Euro, save 60c). Someone obviously needs to go back to math classes.......

The place was remarkably deserted for a Saturday- don't know why- perhaps everyone was at home watching the matches in Croke Park?
