Went on a Southside meander today and found different prices in 3 different Tesco for the same items, DVD called Prime something in Dundrum €2, Nutgrove €1, Stillorgan 30c!

Loads of games and DVD's in Stillorgan, Nutgrove & Dundrum.
Prices in Dundrum were much higher for DVD's, most around €5 or €7 each.

Stillorgan had 3 crates full of films & Games, walking out of the door at €2 and €1.
Not much else there apart from Apple chargers down from €20 to €5.

Nutgrove had a load of headphones for €20, Philips charges all €10 with 4 AA batteries.

Hi, these weren't apple iPhone chargers by any chance?!
Thanks

Western digital 2tb hard drive for €50 euros?? You sure? was there many left??

I was in Tesco Ardkeen on my visit to Waterford today and it was crap...checked all round the shop because the "bargain" bins at the front were full of kindle cases and printer cartridges and not much else.

Only 1 left when I was in earlier and locked in case front of shop

Think lots of stuff is going to be available at good prices going by rumors I have heard

there was only that one, had there been others i was informed to get them for family members adn friends

Good drive but don't use it for anything overly important as wd drives have a bad habit of going bang.

At 50 quid though can't go far wrong

Mad_Mike · 23-01-2014 08:59PM

Just picked up a Breville VIN304 iron in Mullingar, reduced to €7.33
Also got a Breville kettle, reduced from around €34.99 to €9.16

<EDIT>Just checked kettle model and it's VKJ602. Listed on Currys UK at £24.99 and Currys.ie @ €24.99 reduced from €29.99</EDIT>

Thats a pretty pointless and unscientific study, comparing the life of desktop hardrives to notebook harddrives that live in a hot plastic box alongside a cpu, gpu, switching supplies etc and get regularly dropped, banged battered and vibrated around the place. And the market share figures what a laugh the vast majority of electronics in russia is grey imported so there are no figures.

mac1961 · 23-01-2014 10:04PM

Picked up a tom tom start 2 for €25 in ballybeg, a lot of DVD's some cameras can't remember the make, a lot more stuff than in ardkeen

They were.
I went in and asked the sales assistant as I couldn't find them on the shelves.
She said they were all bought by 1 guy and they were Apple products reduced from 20 to 5.

Thats more like it, except I don't understand how you can have 120% failure rate. Wasn't defending seagate by the way I think they're crap especially their desktop usb drives with the vents in the bottom. I was defending toshiba/fujitsu notebook drives as it was a totally unfair comparison.

utyh2ikcq9z76b · 24-01-2014 12:21AM

The Panasonic retro headphones are down to €7.50 for the light blue color, the other two colors I checked were €59.99 bargain!!

Yeah that 120% bit was bizarre, I assume it's a typo of 20%? and don't worry, I wasn't having a go - though my phrasing was poor - I just happened to read that article a couple of days ago and thought it was more than fitting.

just left Tesco Nenagh and there was about 7 ipod touchs 8gb there @ €50

Is it the 16g for €50 or the 8g for €25 that they have?

Either way, I would be forever grateful if any boardsie in Nenagh would pick me up one and I will paypal you the money and postage. Provided they're not all pink/lavender! Looking for a 'masculine' colour!!

It was the white (a very masculine white at that!) ipod touch not the nano that was in Nenagh. There was the only 8gb ones on sale and am nearly certain they are the 4th generation version. Am sorry I was only passing through and got lucky. Hopefully someone else might be able to pick you up one.

and me too please, I've been on adverts trying to spot a cheap touch for an age!

cyberspi · 24-01-2014 10:14AM

im considering a rd trip to nenagh, about 90 min away, anyone know if there are any iPods left?

RobbingBandit · 24-01-2014 10:21AM

3 online orders cancelled in a row now the last three days todays excuse is really good, all the sock on the website at €5 each was €1 and .50 cent each in store yesterday, lies make baby Jesus cry.

Has anyone tried the knives on the current promotion? Are they a a Bargain? Look a fair bit over priced at RRP.
