The 50% part was what I heard as well, let's see if it's true.

Yeah all TVs, sound systems. dvd players and ipods 50% discount with your club card, great offer,I have already bought an lcd and a ps3 on previous offers with 25% and 30% discounts. Personally I have had no problems with the club card discounts but it seems from other posts people have, my advice would be to store your receipt in your safe if you have one (or nail it to the wall!) just in case their is a problem when you are issued with your club card points in May. Oooooh! 'tis goin to be cold in the sleeping bag tonight outside Tesco's!!!!

There is also a 32" Mirai for €500.

My cousin bought one of those TV's in Xtravision last Friday.
He will be disgusted when I tell him he could have got it for 250 as he shops in Tesco.

No. They are actual money-off vouchers eg €25 off the total of your shopping.

Aside: I wish I hadn't bought thet Philips DVD Recorder before christmas for €125. with this offer I could get the same model for €65.

So are they like you have to spend 100 to get 25 off or you or spend 30 and only have to pay a fiver?
Thanks

No DingDong they are like 500euro's worth of vouchers and you get them say in 25euro vouchers and you use them as you see fit.

If your shopping comes to €101 you can use 4 x €25 vouchers and then stick €1 outa your own pocket to it. Or when you get your €500 worth of vouchers you could head straight down and buy a 32" TV for the €500 worth of vouchers.

My main point is that this notion that often crops up - 'oh that TV sucks it's not full HD' is flawed without considering other factors such as viewing distance and 'how much' of a difference you'll see.

I didn't say it, or mean it like that. Simply that I personally wouldnt buy a 47" set that's not full HD as atm I watch alot of blu ray/hd etc...

Otherwise it represents excellent value for such a large set if it is indeed €500

they're as good as cash in-store. you can also exchange them for deal tokens and get 4 times their value (eg €10 clubcard vouchers can be exchanged for €40 Irish Ferries or Insomnia vouchers).

I wondered why there was so many pallets of 42" TV's in the isles when I went to the one in Lucan earlier, was expecting to see it full of easter eggs and not tellys.

Not sure how you're supposed to fit them in your shopping basket though?

was any of the branches open today??

Not according to the ads in the papers. Open tomorrow (Easter Monday) as normal.

I dont understand the point of buying a TV for normal price when there is deals out there. I mean the idea of €500 of vouchers is a great idea but when you cant spend it as you like + you have to wait 2 months for the vouchers??? screw that

I can go to Aldi or go online and get a good deal

embraer170

I know this has been asked a few times in the topic but when are Tescos opening tomorrow; 8am or 10am tomorrow. Seems some in Dublin are definitely opening at 8am but what about the smaller ones (I'm thinking Killarney/Tralee)?

there is a choice of what you can spend your vouchers on, for eg:hotels and book for a couple of months time and ya stay for free great deals great hotels, its what we have done before:D

Just back from Clarehall and no philips tv's left out on shopfloor.

Phibsboro

Clearwater had two 42" philips out on the floor. Was there before the door opened but 20 odd people in front of me. Staff eventually wheeled out some 42" Bushes and said they had no more philips - Bait and Switch anyone? Is that illegal here?

jonno23

Just back from Greystones branch, picked up a Mirai. They'd 2 more on shop floor, but according to staff they'd loads out back. The 32 Philips is E699, less 50% back in vouchers. They'd loads of Bush / Goodmans tvs there too.

BFassassin

Is the Mirai ones being put out on display. Are they the ones that everyone was raving about last year as being excellent quality for the price?

Was in Dundrum tesco this morning. This one opened at 8:00 A.M. where most of the others ( Tallaght, Rathfarnham, Nutgrove) were only opened at 9:00 A.M. The guy in the store said there is plenty of lcd tvs and everybody will get one. There was nobody at about 7:30 and when it was 8:00 there were about 15 people. At about 8:45, there were quite a few 32" Philips LCDs, plenty of DVD recorders, about six 40" Bush LCDs and eight 47" Goodman LCDs left.

pommers

my hubby is in tesco Lisduggan in waterford and they have loads of everything nobody there,only opened at 10.

cormie

How much are the 160GB Ipods? Are ALL Tv's 50% back or just the few mentioned above? Are the bush ones still 50% back like? What's the CHEAPEST Tv available?

Amigaman

Lucan have no philips left and about 4 Bush 42 inch left @899 and a good few 32" ...anybody got any info on the Bush 42 inch model number bush lcdtv025hd I cant find any specs...apearently they only had 6 philips to start with

ninty

Artane castle has no philips left either, best bargain seems to be the philips 47". Was €1699, 25% discount at till leaving it €1274. 50% back on points €637. This is a total discount of €1062.Not bad.

viv.ie

Five 42inch Philips in Bray at 08.00am gone in 30 seconds! About a dozen 32 inch Philips ,did anyone manage to buy the 47inch Philips for 500euro!"That was the only one I was interested in as it had a Freeview Tuner.

ninty

Got one in clarehall (all 7 gone in seconds) but it works out at €637 net unless they take the 50% off original price, where did it say officially they were only €500 .

cormie

How much are the 32inches? Are the 160GB's ipods 50% off too? How much are they before/after the discount? Anyone been to Ballybrack yet?

They were there for a good Twenty Minutes, I got mine at 10 past 8 and there were still a few left. , The phillips 42" went pretty quickly.

Re Ipods there were no 160 GB in Clare hall only nano's 8 gb being the largest I saw.

chris1970

galway ipod 160gb black or silver 350 less 50%( works out at 175 euro) apple.ie 329 same model. lots at 9.15, nano 8 gb new model 199, various colours slightly dearer then apple but with discount vouchers good deal

KNO3

Lots of stuff left up in the Square Tallaght as of one hour ago 11am, seemed to be plenty of 40" 42" and 47" Tvs, lots of other items as well DVD players etc only a few bush and Philips 32" tvs left when I was leaving.

I picked up a 32" Mirai for €499, 14 inch Cello with built in DVD player for €199 and a Goodmans 80gig DVD recorder for €149.99, not the best deal on the DVD recorder but still not to bad, all 50% back with clubcard vouchers.

Paid €847.99 cash, so with vouchers back total bill for all 3 items €424, delighted with that, thanks a million OP for the heads up, brilliant deal, I had no intention of spending any money today until I saw this thread last night:D not complaining mind.

Lots of stock in Tesco Dundalk (old shopping centre), no 47" philips but loads of 32" and plenty of the goodmans/bush/daewoo 42" models.
They also had Wiis (was semi-tempted)...only about 10 people milling round the shop at 12pm...stock certainly wasn't walking out the door...

embraer170

Tesco Tralee: Very quiet at 10.30am, no Ipods but plenty TVs.
Tesco Killarney: TVs walking out the door at 11am but they still had a decent selection left including the much discussed Philips. Also plenty Ipod Shuffles and 8GB Nanos left, no Touches (which I had been looking for).

alias123

Managed to pick up last 32" philips in luan tesco ,they had other brands still in stock an hour ago. Does anyone know best place to pick up a wall mount bracket? would power city be cheapest place?

In the small print at the bottom of the newspaper adverts for todays offer it said game consoles were not included in the offer.

Yes but the 30% off gaming offer still stands (until 25th Mar)...no point in posting in two threads...

What is Tesco's returns policy like if you get buyer's remorse after buying one of these?
Or, more specifically, if you buy one and discover afterwards that it's not as good a tv as you hoped it was?

Are you talking hypothetically?

Or has this actually happened to you?

If it has, what do you not like about the set?

No Philips in Sligo at 1.30PM today either.. only Goodman's 37".

Dub13

For today only,if you Buy a TV in Tesco you get Half the Money back on your Clubcard.So you will get half back in Vouchers next Month.Not bad.

Soarer

Already a 5 page thread on the subject. :rolleyes:

cormie

Is there a limit to how much the vouchers can be used for 4x their value for irishferries does anyone know? Like if I buy a tv for 500 and get 250 worth of vouchers, can I get 1K worth of Irish ferry vouchers?

Tesco, Arthurs Quay in Limerick still had plenty of TV's displayed today. Managed to score the last Nintendo Wii they had though.... Shelf sticker said 30% back but the girl on checkout said they are going for 50% back... guess i'll just have to wait and see... delighted with my bargain either way.

BFassassin

We got a 32" Mirai and its pretty good and we also got a 19" Bush tv/dvd combi but imo the sound is not great. Anyone else get one of them and think the same.

wanabe

I got a 47" this morning in Tralee for my parents!! sweet deal. up and running, great looking t.v!
