    I got the twix last week it looks like they are the stock normally found at the airport, there are a few other travel sweets and chocolates there but twix were the best value

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    I remember Tayto cheese and onion being 6p!

    24c a bag for banshee bonez is a great deal

    Interesting, there were lots of toblerones too, and the dealz knockoff twin peaks were just 1euro. Those Toffifee might show up in larger packs, they often have the small one.

    Lots of stuff still not appearing on the website which is annoying, like you can still get 10x50g snickers for 3euro. These are big but in small packaging, in tesco the multipacks are 35.5g and 41.7g. A full size single retail bar is 48g in supervalu and E1.07

    Lidl had pub size heineken bottles a while ago due to the closures.

    How do people find the batteries in Dealz? I bought a Kodak pack and they are not great. I’m using them for Halloween lights but after a few hours, lights start flickering and light not as bright.

    What batteries would ye recommend?

    The yellow/red Kodak batteries are crap. They are zinc-chloride rather than alkaline so they will have a shorter life. Dealz used to sell packs of Fusiomax alkaline batteries which were as good as Duracell but they stopped them a few years ago.

    You could either try their rechargeable batteries which aren't too bad. The downside is you'll need a charger (or two if you have a lot of lights). Or else splash out and get Duracell.

    Dealz are doing Wisdom branded Clorhexidine mouthwash (Corsodyl basically)
    175ml for €1.50.

    Corsodyl is €6.99 for 500ml, so this is effectively €7.50 for 875ml, and the smaller bottles take up less space in the bathroom.

    Many Dentists don't advocate mouthwash. Also Alcohol mouthwash is an irritant. I use salt and water. Its virtually free.

    Anyone seen those spray paints they have had recently for 2.50€ in grey? Everywhere I check there seems to be an empty shelf left :/

    I do too and it is really effective, it was actually a pharmacist who recommended it, not a friend or anything, they were pretty much turning away a paying customer.

    Ikea have really high end rechargeable batteries, they are rumoured to be panasonic panaloops rebranded. Not cheap but way cheaper than the panasonics and good value.

    That pharmacist who advocated salt and water instead of an over the counter mouthwash is a very honest pharmacist.

    Another product which is a waste of money is Lemsip. A slice of lemon in hot water and two paracetamol is just as good at a fraction of the cost. I think Lemsip also contains artificial sweeteners.

    It tastes absolutely horrible aswell. If I get a cold I squeeze a fresh orange into a cup, pour hot water in and add a spoon of honey. Tastes lovely and really helps.

    The Dealz Kodacs Alkaline are brilliant - I use them a lot and always have a packet handy- you usually only get 4 in a pack. The zinc ones are landfill.
    tests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I4liMndTsI

    Ikea are even better - but I believe that this year they will no longer sell them, only selling rechargeable from now on.

    Ikea are supposed to be one of the best rechargeable brands (possibly they are rebranded top end eneloop's link ) but I gave up on rechargeables a long time ago after 50 euros of Maplins best expired and went bad on me after leaving them a year unused.

    I had them, they're alright. They're cheaper almost everywhere though, if even by a cent :p

    I got a smart light bulb today in dealz, it was 8 euro. Most I've seen online have been screw only, these were bayonets which are what's in the ceiling already. Also works with the app I already have installed so a plus keeping the Chinese apps to a minimum.

    Oh, they've the dishwasher flavour Dime bars back? Those are my fav's.

    If they only get the Cif flavoured Turkish Delight back, I'd be in heaven.
