Thanks, think I will be going to Dunnes in the interim but their offers are not quite as good because they don't reduce as well as 25%

Most of the time when I'm shopping in tesco I have my phone out using the calculator to work out which is cheaper per litre.

More often than not you will find the family size is actually more expensive, its a disgrace Joe :pac:

Doesn't it display a price per litre on all prices??

Not always.

Sometimes when something is on "offer" , buy two for 3.20 etc, you have to work out if that offer is better or not.

For example, is 2 x 2ltrs of coke at 3.20 cheaper than a 1.5ltr of coke at €1 (marked on their site as 70c per litre)?

Weird thing is they have single 330ml cans of cherry 7up, r white lemonade and some weird english hot ginger ale all for €1.49 each in Maynooth.

Three or four of the Blaupunkt TVs in Carlow for €199 if anyone's interested.

Often wildly inaccurate, but generally yes.

RobbingBandit · 26-05-2014 01:33PM

Still no further reductions in the games yet?

There are a couple left at €10 I wouldn't mind for €5 or less;)

brophs · 26-05-2014 01:48PM

Does anyone know if they price match electrical items (printer) in Tesco? I had a look on the website and it's not mentioned, so I presume not, but maybe someone knows different?

Nipped into Tesco Tullamore last Thursday evening to grab a carton of milk and came out with a suitcase! €15! It was the last one in that size.

Off topic, but be aware of a fraudulent e-mail purporting to be from tesco offering the chance to win a shopping voucher, it is a scam.

Minatauro · 26-05-2014 10:17PM

Just for heads up for any gamers. I saw 2 copies of a game called Watchdogs for xbox 360 for sale in tesco Lucan for 60 euro each. The game is not due to be released until tomorrow and looks like it is normally 65 euro. So a small bit of a bargain and you will possibly be the first in dublin to have it (i dont have 60 to get it but someone might).

Hope this is of use.

40watt lightbulbs in Tesco Crescent for 50c....great bargain I picked up 20, you can never have enough spare lightbulbs

Quite saddened to visit Tesco Talbot st and be informed that they no longer reduce to clear their pastries and fresh breads, just throw them all into a plastic bag and then the Bin. I do hope that is a lie and that at least members of staff or others get to take them home.

Yeah I was in tesco Bettystown at the weekend, they normally sell off all that too but over the weekend nothing was reduced at all.

the groutch · 27-05-2014 09:25AM

I expect it's the inability of a small minority to act in a civilised manner when something is being reduced that has ruined it for everyone.

In what way? Do they shout out mating calls, beat their chests and fling their poo anytime they see a bargain?

Its end of life perishable bakery products. I don't understand how you could be uncivilised about it? I do often ask if the baking has been reduced yet, on my way home if I have to pop in to get milk or whatever- and if it hasn't- I may hang around a few minutes to get the kids a treat I might not otherwise buy. I don't think this is cheeky or uncivilised- and the staff are quite happy with this.

Perhaps they are reducing their bakery output to try to up their margins?

Do elaborate on what uncivilsed behaviour you're talking about, and how the behaviour of a minority has spoilt it for everyone- I am genuinely interested to hear what your thoughts are.

I would have to agree with the groutch.

A Small minority act like vultures hanging around the staff reducing items.

Pouncing on the items as soon as the staff member puts it on the shelf.
I've personally seen two women come close to fighting each other because both wanted the same item.

Must be kinda intimidating for the staff.

But as I said it's a small minority.

The_Conductor · 27-05-2014 10:03AM

Perhaps its only in some stores- anywhere I've been- people may be waiting, but we're all civilised towards one another. I've not seen the 'pouncing' and near fisticuffs, you refer to.

That's because you're too busy smothering everyone with pepper spray…

I've seen in Tesco Clarehall people gathering around and grabbing everything as the sales staff put it down. They then walk away and sort through what the want and don't want, quite often throwing what they dont want on any shelf.

Its definitely more civilised in Lucan/Celbridge/Maynooth........ Absolutely no evidence of this type behaviour. If there are any staff members- perhaps they'd like to pipe up with their tuppence?
