Yes they do. They might claim they don't, but they do. Its up behind the Customer Care desk on a big blue and white board. Its at the very bottom, normally conveniently covered up, bit it's there.

200g jars of Carte Noir now €5.60. Scanned it at self service checkout and it came up at €10.99 (full price :eek:) but got a refund at customer service desk

on facebook I see tesco ireland say (back in 2014)

You would get double the difference back on if you were overcharged for them in store. However, if you scanned the items yourself, you wouldn't.

Kind regards

which is crazy

Wrong.
You've clearly never been in my local Tesco.

If my local didn't I'd be asking on facebook or twitter if it is the policy in that store, and if not why not. From reading previous threads it seems there are dodgy rogue managers out there.

Was the SEL saying €5.60?

Have got double the difference and the item for nothing and a full refund( they did that before the double the difference) numerous times in Roscommon store.

rubadub · 27-01-2017 2:32pm

A few mulitpacks of 4 bars/chocolate are 1.50,

rolos are the best value as they have not shrank like all the rest.

The multipacks are still 52g, which is the same weight as single retail packs (which are €1.05 in tesco). SO it is 208g while a 4 pack of kitkats is 166g and 4 pack of galaxy bars is 168g.

Bounties are 2x4packs for €3, they are another bar which is still full weight in multipacks, 57g bars.

Frozen chocolate Yule logs down to €1.25

Two pack Minky Damp Guard refill tablets 75c. Bought two boxes yesterday, but they didn't have the Damp Guard itself. Anyone see those about?

Lots of clearance toiletries in Swinford, so probably in others too - Sanex shower gel, Radox handwash, Tresemme shampoo ...

Slumberdown 4.5 tog duvets single €1.08, king size €1.42 in Tesco in Tralee

rubadub · 09-03-2017 3:57pm

I posted this in the dealz thread, but as I was comparing tesco prices I thought I would copy here, as many may miss it. Many still think of dealz as a "pound shop" and do not know there are so many groceries there, with big brands and regular pack sizes.

And now they have bigger pack sizes too.

rubadub wrote: »

I see €3 items online now, might be old news.

http://www.dealz.ie/offers-and-promotions/3-food-and-drink

21 kitkat 2 finger bars for €3, while the €1.50 packs have only 8 bars, or 3+1free 4 finger bars, so pretty much the same. So you are getting 5 bars more for €3 than you used to, not bad.

The best value kits kats in tesco are 2x4x4fingers for €3, which only equals dealz 1.50 price.

https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=292573934

100g millicano €3, in tesco it is €6.89 for that size and looks identical
https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=268172402

€3 for 750g frosties, €4.35 for the same size in tesco.

Often poundland/dealz had unusual pack sizes, I saw a documentary saying they go to manufacturers and say "give me what you can so I can sell for £1"

Cadbury mini rolls 15 for €3 while in tesco its only 10 for €3, and thats an offer

SAVE 1.25 Was 4.25 Now 3.00
valid from 28/2/2017 until 20/3/2017

Coke zero shows as 1.50 for 2L, wonder if it is really 2L or 1.75L, they seem to have specific numbers for others, and could be sourcing from some other country. Cherry coke is listed as 1.75L so not like they are unaware of pack size changes.

Got a medium suitcase in Tesco Finglas today, Don't know if it has been posted here before.

Its part of the worlds lightest range, Priced at 20euro

I know its not the biggest bargain but i was delighted with the price as I've a few trips planned in the coming months

This is the range of Easter eggs at the five for €5 deal:
https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/SpecialOffers/SpecialOfferDetail/Default.aspx?promoId=R32180241
Weights vary between 123g and 162g. At those weights I doubt any would have two fullsize bars.

rubadub · 10-03-2017 1:12pm

JP Liz V1 wrote: »

Looks like a single full size bar, many of which have shrank in size in recent years.

The creme egg and kit kat ones say 1 egg/bar in the descriptions.

Rule of thumb is that a full size solid bar is typically about 50g, things like creme eggs, wispas, aero, kit kat being a bit less. They do not actually have to declare the weight on the packet if a bar is under 50g, and on many bars they do not explicitly declare the weight -but it can often be worked out from the nutritional info. e.g. is might say 300kcal per 100g, and 100kcal per bar, meaning it is 33.3grams -yet nowhere on the pack does it say 33g.

In dealz most stuff is 1.50 so easier to compare, I would want to be getting 130g+ for 1.50, unless it is higher value stuff.

Years ago a "medium" egg meant 2 full size bars and an egg of about 100g. Todays medium would have been called small years ago.

sjb25 · 10-03-2017 1:52pm

Some of my haul of Easter eggs

Jaysus you have the diabetes down to an art :pac:

Price per kg is on the SEL in Tesco pretty easy to compare if you're obsessive about the price of empty calories. The medium eggs in tesco 5 for 5 deal I got were 127g / 130g. At 1 euro each that makes it 7.70-7.87 per kg

in fairness the price per kg is not always on the SEL and when it is, it is quite often incorrect

I saw no evidence of any thorntons eggs in mine (ballybrack). I was scanning the top shelves too for unopened boxes. There was no shortage of the others though, some shelves were totally cleared out and I at first thought "oh here we go, old scam to get customers in", but in fairness the rest of the shop was littered with them at the end of different aisles. People had baskets & trolleys full of them.

Some eggs were ridiculous prices. A "large" creme egg easter egg is 9.99 which is 270g in total with 2 eggs, creme eggs are just under 40g

https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=291252580

But for just 1 cent more you can get 10 smaller creme egg easter eggs, with 10 creme eggs and 1380g in total. So 5 times as many eggs, and 5 times as much chocolate.

BTW Any 5 For 5.00 valid from 8/3/2017 until 14/3/2017

its crazy how often it is wrong. I wish it was included in their price promise things, especially back when you ended up getting the product free. I wish it was legally enforced -I think it is exempt. I am pretty good at maths and have been doing "price per kilo/unit/volume" in my head since the 80s and continually spot incorrect stuff in tesco.

In the case of the easter eggs the SEL price did have price per kilo on many, but it is the price per kg before the reduction.

I would think them the small ones not medium

johncmurphy · 12-03-2017 11:19pm

In tesco douglas earlier i picked up 24 500ml cans of carlsberg for 17.50. They are at the end of the off licence lane by the boses of corona. 3 cases left when i was there

If you happen to be near an Iceland, they usually stock Thorntons eggs. Not sure how much of a selection they have but defo worth a look if it's convenient

joeysoap · 22-03-2017 5:11pm

Got them yesterday too 3 x €12 off €60 spends. Delighted.

We don't spend a lot in Tesco, but do buy our petrol there as it's the cheapest in town, 131.8 at the moment (diesel 122.8). Got 3x €10 off €50 spend at Christmas . Used them all for drink as it was great value. Used the first €12 off €60 today, bottle Smirnoff €20 (effectively €16) 20 Coors €22 (effectively €17.60) and the rest on groceries.

The Easter eggs are now 3 for €5. Still good value.

grimm2005 · 22-03-2017 5:32pm

No vouchers for me bar the normal money off ones accrued from points. First time I've never got supplemental vouchers in it.
