    Don't some phones lock to a network after you put in a sim card? Was there one in the phone when you got it? My mum picked up a Samsung a few weeks ago, it came with a sim card already in it (but the sales person still gave her a new sim too, so she ended up with 2...)

    These phones come with sim already inserted.

    They're listed as €170 on the website. Sorry to ask, but are you sure about this?

    There was/is a banner on the tesco mobile site that said to call their telesales for clubcard day offers on phones

    You could have always you know signed up for a clubcard and then you have a clubcard to avail of clubcard day offers
    But keep that to yourself ;)

    ANY cheap and cheerful flat screen will have terrible sound , some corners have to be cut. You can use an old HiFi,

    Bought the 55" tv yesterday as an impulse buy for our new house and as a replacement for an 10 year old 42".Should I bring it back? We currently only have Saorview, Netflix and YouTube so thought it'd be grand and was good value.

    If we do get sky or virgin, surely they come with their own remotes anyway?

    I would personally, check out richer sounds they give 6 year warranty and are very good to deal with

    For me it was a dealbreaker - YMMV

    If only use a single box to watch TV or there's never any issue over who has the remote it's not an issue.

    But if you want to switch between Saorview and Set Top Box it gets tiresome..


    Pick up a universal remote in dealz for €1.50 to test it

    Check if the TV has a usable app to control it , older Sharps didn't.
    Turn on CEC so the box's remote can do stuff , again YMMV

    Half price on some towels. In store yesterday and online today so I guess it's nationwide.

    Bath sheets are €5.50 and bath towels are €4.50.

    The wife bought some of the Tesco own brand ink afew days ago. It was for a HP printer. The ink she normally uses is the HP302 I think but they didn't have it in stock so she bought the Tesco brand that claims to be the same ink. The printer recognized 1 of the cartridges but not the black ink cartridge so we took it back to Tesco.

    The girl on the tills said she had the same problem and it has happened afew times and refunded it without a problem so be careful when it comes to the Tesco own brand ink

    I've used a PIXMA for a few years now, I get refills done in a cartridge shop for 11 euro black and white and 20 colour. The printer software is built to report no ink on refilled cartridges but you can bypass the errors by holding the button with the red triangle circle icon and it prints as normal. Pic attached

    I bought non HP ink for one of the new HP printers. They are programmed to not accept them. It’s disgraceful, we should have a choice once we buy a product. I have an old laser printer from 2007 and i’ll be sticking with that for printing. The new one was for small photocopy jobs.

    That's why they are so cheap. If you want the flexability of using non genuine cartridges then you need to be spending alot more €40 on the printer.

    Was in Tesco Wexford a few hours ago.
    They had a pile of coffee machines red + black. I am now confused whether they were Tassimo or Dolce Gusto - Black Friday offer €25 (rec retail €99 - a bit optimistic I think). Sorry - didn't take a photo - was too interested in their Sharp TV offers.

    Lego advent reduced in tesco. 15 euro for the friends calendar, 18.75 for the Harry Potter and star wars versions.

    No use to me as I got these weeks ago. Only the Harry Potter left in that tesco mahon point anyway. May be better stock elsewhere.

    Some stores seems to have it advertised in store, others dont. My local store had two signs up in the clothing area saying 50% off all F&F. Seems to be word of mouth where most people are hearing it.

    They got slated on social media for doing it at this time.
    In reply, Tesco said they had markings on the floor for social distancing.
    Nothing on the website about it either.

    Obviously this type of stock is not moving, so this a way to get rid. I can see this getting shut down as non-essential.
