5 random Tesco clearance lines

I'm beginning to wonder if this was a Fu#k up by someone in an office.

I've been thinking the same, especially because the reductions seem to be completely random and more often than not very different from the actual price tags. The one hour charger is a good example for that, priced at €28 and scanning for €2.80 while the included batteries alone go for €11. That's most likely not a deliberate offer. I think Tesco must have a major glitch in their pricing system at the moment.

Checked out The crescent s.c. and Roxboro s.c. none to be seen in either. I didnt ask a staff member though.

I havent seen the windows 7 offer in any of the limerick tescos.
Did manage to pickup a dab radio for 3.50(green box, technika?), a belkin fm transmitter for around the same price, a billion batteries for 56 cent a pack, a king size duvet for 4 euro.

Cal04

There are pictures on the first post of this thread.

Here are the pictures of the AA and AAA.
They have to be 4&4 free plus they have to be in a Blue and Yellow Pack.

No, this stock is old from old promotions, clip strips, OFDs. It looks like they got a load of money to clear it all out of the business and just have to apportion it to the products showing the highest stock levels.

That is not to say that 'price per unit' issues dont happen.

i did scan those ones but they came up as normal price ... some i'm confused

Most of the good stuff already mentioned pretty much mopped up in Ballinasloe at this stage.
I did pick up one of those Dettol automatic handwash dispensers with refil. Marked at €11.98, scanned at €5.70.:pac:

This...

But in the new stainless steel effect design.

Also, one of their Toshiba laptops prices at €449 was scanning at €349.

That photo of the duracell rechargeable batteries is not the correct one. Reduced one shows red "4x" on the pack, not 3x or 5x

south

Tesco Ardkeen had a note up by the batteries saying price error do not stock. couldn't find any other deals. The girlfriend scanned the hair dryer that someone said they got and it came up full price.

wndows 7 is 87 cent (not upgrade)

What store was that?! Tesco Douglas had the upgrade but that's no good to me.

Had loads of the AAA Duracell batteries on the shelf, scanned at 0.56. Babyliss hair straightener scanned at 21eur (originally priced 140eur) but had no need for it so left it there but they had a shelf full of them!

Are the batteries in Douglas?! I've been searching the shop for them, could only find full price ones on a shelf near the boooze. Where did you see the ones marked for 56c?

Yup, they're on that shelf, someone put up a pic on the last page but its the 4+4 free that are scanning at 0.56 (I only picked up the AAA but there was loads left!)

There are some Duracell chargers and batteries etc. thrown on a shelf down the back past the magazines and greeting cards.

The 56c batterys are in a display beside the tills, facing the batteries. Bottom shelf on the right hand side. About 10 packs left there last night at 10pm.

All the prices on the personal electrical are correct. Anything that was reduced was priced and sold, but more might come in.

thanks ... now i know it's not just me

silly question (for the sake of batteries) ... but anyone in rathfarnham that got a couple and would be willing to sell me two sets?

gazzaman22

Off topic.
But these bug the SHOOT out of me... Okay so what was wrong with the hand pump ones of these "they supposedly harboured germs" So what the funk "is the stuff in the bottle not supposed to kill the buggers!"

These are in my opinion overpriced and not needed. Stupid invention that goes against the principal of what its trying to replace... Rant over!:P

You're not the target market though which is basically ocd, hypochondriac, housebound women with kids who are unaware that a bit of dirt is what keeps our immune system on its toes and probably have a house full of electronic air fresheners gradually giving them respiratory and sinus problems:D

However on the subject of kids I'm sure my kids would get more craic out of this than any toy you could buy at the price think I might get one and fill it up with that Tesco funny farm soap thats about €1.50 a liter.

You don't have kids do you? I find them a great incentive for kids to wash there hands more often.

definitely more stock arrived in stores from the warehouse - i picked up one 16GB USB flash drive in ballybrack, there were none there when I checked on sat - left 4 on the shelf there for the rest of ye!

all the staff onto the electrical items, seems like they got cameras in and staff took them, same with hair styling stuff. a huddle of them over by the electrical items using the price checker - gas.

Had a quick look in Tesco in Mahon on the way home from college and couldn't find anything good:( The only thing close was a shelf label for a breville kettle but they were out of stock. I couldn't see any of the batteries. I did however get toastabags:rolleyes: for 28c, at that price I got 5!! No price label on the stand, and they had loads left. Its a four pack and price on the jml website is €7.19

Hmmm toast bags, no college student is complete without a toast bag and a packet of koka noodles, we used to do eggs, beans, rashers and all in them

Bought 4 packs of AAA batteries today 56c each. The staff member who served me, closed the till and legged it over to buy the remaining ones for herself!
She put away another couple of toys for herself behind the counter.
Obviously not supposed to be for staff (

Eh.. Would it be worth a trip to Arklow? Would I get anything of actual use, or just some hair straighteners and sat navs?

Staff keeping stuff for themselves grinds my gears ...staff are staff either wait till your finished work or get someone to come in and get them for you

mik_da_man

picked up a few of the 8 aaa normal batteries for .56
and a few of the 4 rechargeable aaa ones for .81

Few packs left on the battery shelf
Cheers OP


No sign of the flash drives, or hard drives, Win 7 is not reduced either.

A friend of mine told me those Tesco bargain Win 7 copies have a warning on the back. It says that they have to be installed by 2010. That's why they're eighty something cents.

Only back from there. They have a couple of the HP 4gb SD cards with adaptors left. No batteries or any of the other offers. SD cards are in the corner with all the electrics.
