Tesco Bargains [Groceries]

I seem to remember some supermarkets had silver coloured insulating (?) bags some years back but I don't see them around anymore.

Tesco sell these,also available in Aldi... ask in store...

I know this isn't the right place but please indulge me a moment. When my Mum goes grocery shopping she usually gets a few different ice cream products i.e Vienetta, Vanilla, Magnums. Between the time she puts it in her trolley and when the she gets home in the car the ice cream can be melting and running into liquid.

My question is are there special bags or something that she can put the ice cream in and it will keep the temperature lower for longer? I seem to remember some supermarkets had silver coloured insulating (?) bags some years back but I don't see them around anymore.

Thanks!

If you happen to have an Iceland near you, they usually do the silver insulated bags. Otherwise I would suggest doubling up the shopping bags, the heavy ones (ie ones they sell in Aldi/Lidl) and putting all the frozen goods in together. This should help to hold the temperature. The other thing you could so is get a foil lined picnic bag which would also help retain the coldness. Hope that helps. You are either a very thoughtful son or you really like your ice cream

Maybe when you ask your Mum for a magnum and she says they melted on the way home, she could be telling a little white lie?

Seems like a good deal on some multibuys at the moment, three for €3 on a range of chocolate snacks, O'Donnell crisps 125g size and Miwadi.

But Tesco are bad at either having the shelf tags wrong or else the items are not coded right to be included. Went in tonight and bought six of the O'Donnell crisps and six packs of multipack bars (2 x Yorkie, 1 kitkat, 3 Cadbury Snacks). I had other stuff including alcohol, so went to a cashier. I knew the total should have come to just over €40 but came to €44.59 as some of the multibuy savings didn't come off. But receipts are so confusing as it lumps all the savings on one line instead of showing per item, so no easy way to tell what didn't deduct right.

I usually use self-checkout and if I'm in doubt about whether a group of items qualify for a deal, I'll scan that group of items first and hit subtotal. At least I can leave them there if the savings don't come off.

That's when you can take advantage of their double the difference policy. I have many times, most of the time the cashier at customer services tries to fob me off (they like to pretend it doesn't exist), but I get it in the end.

I don't think Kitcats were included in the 3 for 3 deal(31/05/2017 - 06/06/2017). They are on a 2 for 3 deal(31/05/2017 - 27/06/2017) instead.

Agh! that was probably it. The website is certainly showing Kitkat Chunky 4pk now in a 2 for 3 deal. Will check tomorrow to see if they have the wrong tag up. At worst I can get a free Kitkat - one is €3.15 while you can get two for €3.

Sounds sore!

Tesco branded Alaska Salmon 550g packs are listed at €11.99 but on sale with a fiver off so €6.99 is the advertised price but is scanning at just €4. I doubt if this is store specific as I scanned it on the self service till with the barcode. I was in the Tralee Abbeycourt store.

Reeses peanut butter cups 4 pack €1.49. Should be every where.

You don't say if refrigerated or frozen, I'm guessing not tinned at that size. Maybe it's this one, but it's 550g - https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=264602391

I wouldn't put any weight on the fact that it scanned at a lower price at your Tesco. Prices vary all over the place between Tescos for no apparent reason.

Yeah that's the one. Surely the barcode pricing is the same everywhere?

They were never that full price before, if I recall correctly. Remember always paying around a fiver for them. They're lovely BTW...

They now have 250g punnets of very nice cherries for a euro a each, so 4 euro a kilo - Suntrail farms is the brand name.

Thought this price was a mistake in my local store. It's half the price they are per kg in most shops
