Just a heads up Tesco seem to be stocking them now, plently in my tesco this morning. In the same aisle as the halloween costumes and sweets.

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

How the **** is 24 cent a bag a bargain?!

These used to be 10p or less from what I remember.

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.

It really is when you consider that a packet of Hot Lips , Tayto etc are €1 a packet or more , individually in shops .

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.

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.

Anyone try Fry’s Turkish delight lemon flavour bars? Saw them in Dealz the other day. Not sure if they would be nice?

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

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.

It was the heavy duty ones, but I just bought Duracell ones now, actually I got Halloween lights with batteries included in lidl, and the batteries are very good. Maxelle, alkaline batteries. Wonder can u get packs of them in lidl?

Any heavy duty battery is trash. Just buy Kodak Alkaline

Total sh!te! Kodak is a makey upey name for cheap sh!te batteries sold by dealz.

As a comparison the supposed best Dealz kodak alkaline batteries take about 10 photographs in my wifes camera before they go flat and Lidl or Panasonic batteries take at least 100.

I've never come across such crap cheap batteries as they sell in Dealz. In my LED torch Dealz Alkaline batteries don't last a week when I use them out every night walking the dogs where as just about any other Alkaline batteries last about 6 months.

I actually have some brand new unopened packs of Kodak Extralife Alkaline batteries that I threw in the bin to save myself wasting my time fitting them - actually put them straight into the battery recycling box in Lidl.

Thargor · 19-11-2020 8:46pm

What are ye even buying cheap disposable batteries for? They're an environmental nightmare and a total false economy if you dont care about that.

Buy some Panasonic Eneloops and a charger and they last pretty much forever, thousands of charge cycles. Charge them up and stick them in a drawer and in 2 years they'll still be at 80%. IKEAs rechargeable batteries are from the same factory and pretty much indistinguishable.

19-11-2020 9:08pm

Deals have smart plugs for €8 there really good I have two well worth it

rubadub · 18-12-2020 2:27pm

Dealz have advent calenders with chocolates, some have some serious weight.

https://www.dealz.ie/christmas/

Cadbury Dairy Milk Chunks Advent Calendar 258g
€1.50

Mars Celebrations Advent Calendar 230g
€1.50

a tub of celebrations is 650g, so at that price a tub is 4.23, which is not great, but you are buying it for the gimmick.

The cadbury one was £5.99 (~€6.60) on their site

https://www.cadburygiftsdirect.co.uk/cadbury-dairy-milk-chunk-advent-calendar-258g.html

Reese Chocolate Advent 247g

€1.50

Where can you get the Panasonic Eneloops? I'm not near IKEA. Any rechargeables I've tried weren't up to much but they are very old now.

Thargor · 08-01-2021 2:29am

I bought all mine on Amazon, wouldnt trust Ebay with all the fakes. Eneloops are completely different to the old rechargeables or whatever you have, they're better than regular batteries. Eneloop Pros are even better.

Yyhhuuu · 08-01-2021 4:05am

I find some, not all, of the staff in Dealz quite ignorant including the managers and not in just in one store. I wonder are they one of the lowest paid in the retail sector.

I know value when I see it and not everything is good value there, far from it. I understand there is a programme about their parent company on channel 4.
