    That's the cheapest I've ever heard, they must do well!

    It's quite good. It's cheap because they literally have no overheads.

    Bump for prices around Naas/Newbridge/Kildare town/Rathangan.

    Any good prices found out there recently?

    The 20kg bag is only €8
    Peat briquettes are 3.50 and a bag of logs is 4.50

    And they put everything in your car for you :D

    I picked up a 20KG bag of Economy Coal today for E5.99 in the Fraser Petrol station in Kilcullen.
    It's nice and chunky and burning great,will be getting more at that price :D.

    Good to hear that Gregsor, wonder if he's offering that deal in the Newbridge garage, might drop in there in the morn and check. FYI, the cheapest I found around Newb was at that place beside Timbercraft (buy4less?), E7.75 20kg bag.

    Yes i picked up a bag from them the other week,i wasn't impressed tbh,alot of slack and very small pieces mixed in,more than you would expect.
    I think it's been brought in from the North or UK going by the ph no on the bag anyway.
    I can vouch for the Fraser though,toastie :D.

    there are different grades of coal - the premium grade always works out better in long run.

    best deal i've got is 4 x 40kg bord na mona premium polish coal for €60 in king oil athy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 834 ✭✭✭Gregsor


    Thats a good deal alright,^^ but is it worth the extra E12 though for the 160 kgs,thats another 40kgs of economy for me or 2 weeks fuel at this rate.
    Just finished off the bag of the economy and i have no complaints.


  • Registered Users Posts: 213 ✭✭Snaggerman


    Just to confirm, the Fraser garage in Newbridge has that economy fuel 20kg @ €5.99. Picked some up this morning and as Gregsor says, toasty!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 56 ✭✭dos1965


    Just ordered from Merrins in Naas, coal €7 for polish 20kg, €4 briquettes and €92.50 for 47kg propane...also with free delivery to Newbridge.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,383 ✭✭✭91011


    The spar in Ballymany is great for briquettes - 3 bales for €10.

    Combine that with fraser's coal prices and you'll have plenty of good value heat.

    Anyone see a good price for Kerosene top ups?
    I got a 20ltr in Kilcullen for E23 that was including the drum.


  • Registered Users Posts: 130 ✭✭Dub_Jim_Royle


    Anyone got any prices for coal in North Kildare/West Dublin.
    Have only got through to 2 places (both in CLondalkin)
    €18.50 and €19.50/40kg bag.

    Anyone know of anywhere else nearby? Surely there's cheaper...?

    All coal sold / delivered in Dublin (and certain other towns) must be smokeless. http://www.environ.ie/en/Environment/Atmosphere/AirQuality/BituminousCoalBan/

    This does not stop you travelling to Naas / Newbridge to fill up and drive back to Dublin, but within the Dublin area you'll have to pay a premium for smokless coal as it costs more to produce. - Less chimney cleaning though!:D

    here's a gumtree ad for clondalkin offering €8 for 20kg smokeless http://www.gumtree.ie/dublin/55/67390255.html

    "Anyone see a good price for Kerosene top ups?

    I enquired in Toghers Newhall yesterday. E20 for 20ltr incl drum. If you bring back the drum or you have your own drum to start with it's 86c per ltr.

    My better half picked up a bag there just before 6pm yesterday,must have been the last, was going to get another one too today :mad:.

    Checked with Mcloughlins yesterday on their price per bag,E9.75 for a E25kg bag is all they had.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,500 ✭✭✭An Ri rua


    I know its slightly out of the way but it might be some good to some of you?

    Brown's Animal feeds in Portlaoise in Clonminam Ind Estate (right across from telford's in telford's car park etc) have 40kg bags of coal for €11.50. Telfords have 2 for €25.

    Just in case it helps.


  • Registered Users Posts: 834 ✭✭✭Gregsor


    Frasers in kilcullen are back in stock,got another this evening,plenty there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 611 ✭✭✭Vinny-Chase


    I've got 3 bags of the Economy Coal in Frasers in the last few weeks and have found it great. Thanks to this thread wouldn't have known about it otherwise.


  • Registered Users Posts: 461 ✭✭mk2

    Will they deliver?:rolleyes:,sure it's only a short trip these days!


  • Registered Users Posts: 611 ✭✭✭Vinny-Chase


    Heads up lads. No economy coal in Frasers in Newbridge. Asked the foreign guy behind the counter when it would be in and he just shrugged his shoulders and said "when ever".


  • Registered Users Posts: 212 ✭✭kildaremum


    Because no economy in Frasers, Newbridge last week I bought 40kg bag of premium. Certainly worked up a sweat trying to get it out of the car and up the few steps to the front door - lots of small bits and loads of coal dust towards the end of the bag. Got 2 bags of economy in Frasers, Kilcullen yesterday - supplies fairly low there .

    They didn't even have any of the 40kg bags left yesterday.
