Seen them. I asked one person and he said he hadn't got a key. Might go back over tomorrow and get a couple of packs. Thanks.

I can't find the pic/link for the AA battery charger and rechargeable batteries. Could somebody post a link so I know which one's I'm looking for?
Thanks

Checked the price of the rechargeable AA Duracell batteries in Greystones this evening and they came up as €14 - they were the exact same ones as pictured in the OP first post.

They had HP 4GB SD cards but the packaging was different to the ones shown in the OP first post so didn't bother checking the price of them.

A few pointers in your quest - as I just picked up 3 different items today and was surprised that they were still there a few days on.
The only item priced correctly that I could see were the 56c batteries - and unsurprisingly - they were all gone - staff are not blind.

There are several variations (at least 3) of the Duracell rechargeable batteries.
The 1.40 ones in D6 store were the Duracell Rechargeable Accu Supreme 4x, barcode ending 686. The 3x and 5x varieties scanned as 14. (refers to the "up to 4x more pictures" not number of batteries)

I dont know if they input the prices individually in each store - chances are they do which might account for some places scanning with different prices, but the packs are so similar they may input the price against wrong barcode.

The Tesco Greener Living 1 hour fast charger with 4 AA batteries barcode ending 197 scans at 2.80
One variety of Duracell 1 hour ones were 20 though shelf said 40

Still lots of the Duracel rechargeable packs left at 1.90. Got one for a friend as have plenty since the previous BA on these.

If you want staff not to clear the lot themselves then dont draw attention to them, buy with your groceries from the most disinterested cashier (they have security tags so you've little choice).
Went back for a charger later and different cashier immediately studied it, said it must be mispriced and when I said it was last one he was going to search the back for some for himself.
Thats the likely reason there are no HP cards or usbs or tags on shelf at all. There were before but all evidence removed now.

Check the 4x ones - 3x as in the OP pictures were fullprice.
If it has a different barcode, it may have a different price, only way to know is scan.

Picked up Sennheiser PX100 II folding headphones for the grand price of 8.72 euro which is the price on the shelf (and confirmed on the scanner). Play.com have them for 46 euro and amazon for over 30 sterling. It pays to shop before 7am. It shows that boardies have to shop around as what is in one Tesco is not in the other but knowing where to look helps. Happy hunting!

Anyone know if there is a scanner in Wilton store & if so where ?

Same question for the Paul Street store.


Thanks.

wilton has a scanner in beauty isle, also one down near the crisps isle at the end.

Wilton didn't seem to have any of this stuff yesterday and a mouse most people are getting for 7.50 was 15 in wilton.

Navan calling!
No scanner in navan, so you ask customer service or use the self service checkouts

Anyway, only items I found were the 10 euro shaver and a 15 euro baby annabel doll for 1.75, so that was me sorted for the weekend! :eek:

Have people asking about scanners tried asking the staff in the store if they have a scanner?
I can assure you it's easier than logging on to boards

Hi Guys

HP 4gb Micro SDHC card with adaptor €2.85
HP 16gb flash drive €7.99
Duracell AA batteries 8pk (its 4+4free) 56cent!!!!
Duracell rechargable AA batteries 4pk €1.40
TDK CD-R80 25pk €2.45 (700mb)

Here's some pics for easy recognition. Might be difficult to find these so they arent guaranteed to be in all Tesco stores but they are out there, along with dozens of still undiscovered bargains. Remember the price might not be updated on the shelf so use the price checker. Hope it helps someone out!!!

Jarvis

Lots of rechargeable batteries in Clare hall but not reduced

Jessica Fletcher

Alfie1 the scanner in Paul St is on a pillar on the aisle where the bread rolls, wraps and I think cakes etc are. Go straight in and head towards the back of the shop then turn right. It's almost as far as possible from the toys and electronic things :rolleyes:

I tried Wilton yesterday and found almost nothing. The small transformer toys were marked €3.99 and scanning at €1.75 but that was about it. AA batteries marked 56c but all gone.

Got Sennheiser PX100 II folding headphones in Kinnegad they had 4 or 5 on shelf down near TV's. Batteries scanning at €4.50 looked same as pic in OP

Fathead

checked online & tesco still have the AA batteries at .56c i added some to my order and they processed. Fully expect them to be cancelled. Worth a shot though.

efb

Got rechargeable batteries and an lithium iPod charger for €2.20

DamoRed

I've just picked up 2 of the 3 remaining USB flash drives that were in Maynooth. The 16GB ones were stuck in behind the 8GBs, but they were there.

Just to get a little techy, These are V195B and they're writing at 9.4MbS, compared to the V135W metallic blue one I got a few months ago, which writes at 12.5MbS. I really couldn't believe how fast this was when I first got it. Compared to what I had before, it was into Marty McFly territory! :P It transferred 750Mb in just a minute!

That was also a Boards Bargain Alert, so I've done well as far as these are concerned. But even without the speed, on a price per Gb basis, they're a really hot buy.

Thanks again to Jarvis.

Got the Sony MDR-570lp headphones in tesco in the crescent Limerick for 5.40, only three left. In limerick city Tesco I got a 2gb sandisk flash drive for 3 euro and 1gb one for 97 cent

Tescos in clearwater was manic this afternoon. Fot those that know the store, the small desk near the TV rack was packed with staff getting various bits scanned for price checking. There was a lot of 'suit' activity, presumably unhappy with their staff acting like rabid dogs ( ...like general population basically ) in the hope of securing a bargain. One lad with a manager badge was holding onto a remington (which scanned at 3.50) for dear life. He was adamant that we know ( the deals ) before they do. Madness.

Oh, yeah, i bought a poxy microsoft mouse for 7.50. Wow..Fckn...wee:D

If they are in the store and not sold out when you shopping is picked, the store will have to give them to you. Make sure you say 'NO sub' of they'll give you the full price ones that will be in stock!! You can always give them back to the drive for a refund if they do.

Yeah was over there today and seen all the suits and also heard one or two staff members saying something along the lines "they're all [bosses] still up there".

Didnt see anything on the table this morning (around 11:10am). The batteries were back up to €4.50

leitirmeas

In Galway City Tesco today they had loads of the AAA batteries still hanging up. Couldnt spot anything else but spotted a Seagate Portable Drive 250 GB, asked the lady to scan it as there was no shelf label. It wouldnt read the barcode so she had to go onto a computer, it was 5 euro, neither she nor I could believe it. I couldnt see anymore electirical bargains, though I didnt check for headphones or mice ( mouses?).
Am thrilled
Also loads of babies mini paddle pools/ball pits for 1 euro each. Also sand moulds for kids for 13 cents for a pack of 3.

Thanks for leaving one 16Gb behind, I picked it up around 5pm!! Would have bought another if there were any others left. Didn't see any of the micro SD cards.

The USB drive is tiny. Smallest one I've come across. Keep thinking that if I don't loose it, I'll probably break it!

HDDs, the remington stuff, headphones, cameras..... Etc;

The activity among them was indicative that they knew feck all in advance of non employees. Funny why none of them opted to use the scanner on the 3rd aisle back from the TV wall. Much less obvious IMO. I must have scanned 20 different things; so many discrepancies between different stores. Still though, when in Rome.....and all that
