    I went into the Farm Shop today. There is a butcher, fruit and veg and the gourmet parlour. Nice to see a new shop in Collooney.

    I've heard on the grapevine that it's to the Johnston Court center, but hasn't been signed sealed and delivered yet, hence the QT.

    Noticed that as well, is it just a display unit, or is there a sales agent there as well?

    There's an agent in there reading away on a magazine.. looking very busy! :D

    Was in town today for a while to try and finish up Christmas shopping. It was absolutely jammed everywhere (particularly Heatons due to 20% off everything in-store til tomorrow).

    Gonna go in first thing in the morning instead.

    Anyone know where I can buy this in Sligo, or any Beauticans that might stock it. I have been told that this is what they want for Christmas (amoungst other things).

    Started yesterday.. runs Friday - Sunday: see here!. And I'd say 6pm is closing time tomorrow.

    Believe me.. go in early. There was a queue going right across the shop today... wouldn't be arsed unless you were doing serious shopping to be standing in that queue.

    Never thought there would be as many, lets hope they have the products in stock that they want, between the four of them should get sorted (hopefully).

    Not really a bargain alert but Parkes garage in Ballisadare haven't put their petrol up since the budget. So it's still 131 a litre. I notice most of the garages in town are charging 140.

    Good value.. think 1.36 by McCormack's & Sligo Fuels is the best in town.

    Might fill up when I drop out to SuperValu tomorrow.

    140!! Yikes, I did see a few places around Sligo Town at that price on friday. The Fuel Depot on Deep Water Quay on was 134 or 135. Allthough looking at Pumps.ie they are 136.9 as off today.

    In addation to the budget there was a general increase of 4c due to oil price increases.

    :(

    Tesco are doing 25% off all their wine and champagne at the mo, if you buy any six bottles. And thats on top of the special offers on the wine already! Seems like a good offer if you want to stock up for Christmas. I think its on til the 14th.

    Surprised nothing has been posted here recently, are there no bargains to be had with the post-Christmas sales? I've haven't been in town since Stephen's Day and I'm just wondering is a trip worthwhile.

    I always think the Sligo sales are rubbish.
    Heatons had 1 euro off some items.:rolleyes:
    Next had a fairly good sale and Boots had their gift sets half price.
    HMV have a Sony blueray player reduced by about 40 euro I thought that was pretty good.

    Went into this place just before Christmas for a look with a friend. The man asked us if we like sour sweets, said yes, so he offered a sweet to taste. Now, I quite like sour things but I nearly had to spit it out it was so sour.

    Well worth going in for a look and then a taste, he has so many sweets on offer.

    They were offering those sour sweets to everyone!!! Think they were laughing at everyone's reactions when we left...:P I love sour sweets (Tangfastics...nyom nyom...) but those ones were in a league of their own!!! :D

    Do they sell blackjacks/fruitsalids? For some reason Aldi or Lidl (which ever is in Sligo) and every other branch I have been to have seemed to have stopped selling or are always sold out.

    How did I miss this new sweet shop?!


    Were they lemon flavoured balls with this really white covering?
    Come in Blueberry and Strawberry I think! We got apple ones too, got them up in Dublin and we'd have a contest to see how sour they were by seeing who could keep their game faces on after 3...

    Want to head in and show off! Oh ho ho!

    It's the same O Briens-style shop that went into where Conways Newsagents was on Grattan Street. Except this one does sweets only :D
