    I just thought I'd start this thread so we can let each other know about special offers that we might come across in the next few weeks. Whether it's on groceries or decorations or gifts.

    I was in Tesco last night and they had the tins of Quality Street, Celebrations, Roses and Heroes for €7.00. You'd probably get them cheaper in a few weeks tough.

    Tesco Clarehall and Artane...........



    Large tins of Roses and Quality Street were 13 euro,now 6 euro.


    They were never really 13 euro...its just Tesco trying to dupe people into buying them and making people even fatter,as its not even Halloween yet.

    Believe it or not Tesco Clarehall were selling them for €13 back in August. I remember seeing them and thinking ha they won't be at that price for long. I think legally they have to sell them at the higher price for 30 days before they can say now €6 were €13 etc, etc...

    IMO 13 euro is/was too much....as they aint that big a tin.

    But its all just a racket and a marketing ploy to get people to buy more and more junk food....that all.

    But I suppose its a Christmas bargain of sorts...if you can hide them away for that long.:pac:

    Homestore and More are normally great for Yankee Christmas fragrances (the large jars), if there's one near you. €13.95 as well I think.

    The Leappad Ultra (its this years version if you're not down with the kids :D) is selling for €99.99 in both Argos & Smyths, both mention that its a saving on the RRP, so theres a chance it will go up before the big day.

    Selected Lalaloopsy minis are BOGOF @€;7.99 in Smyths, handy stocking fillers

    They also have various Sylvanian playsets reduced at the moment.

    Just got a newsletter in from Clever Clogs with details of their annual warehouse sale. I went last year and picked up some great Santa presents - there's always lots of little suprises that they don't tell you before the sale. Well worth a trip! They're based in Kinsealy in North Co. Dublin, just off the Malahaide Road.

    They are posting details on their Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/430639963704302/
