It not an exclusive "Bargain" to Tesco but saw it in Tesco yesterday.

Robinsons New Squash'd 66ml, it's the new drink that you squeeze into bottles of water.
Not sure if it's the same price everywhere but it was €2.89 in Tesco.
Normally these drinks are €1 - €2 per litre.
At €2.89, it works out at €43.70 :eek: per litre according to the tag!
Is this a pricing mistake?

Concentrated I think, enough to make 20, 250ml glasses of juice is the disclaimer on the pack, it is £2 in the uk.

Its the new product- its not carried by Musgraves (yet) and the other multiple don't stock it anyway. Anywhere between Eur 2 and 3 is probably a normal price for this. To be honest- you're paying a massive premium for the packaging........

Tesco Kilbarrack have the most random reductions at the moment...I also got a few packs of 2 bulbs for 10c (someone had mentioned them here). These are great because they fit in my Ikea lamps and they are usually dear enough.

Are they the screw-in type or bayonet type? What brand are they? Looked for marked down bulbs in my local Tesco and only found Solus bulbs in the clearance section, marked down from €2.99 to €2, which I don't think is much of a deal.

Its the suggested POS location for the product.
Its probably the same in most stores.

They are screw in, Tesco own brand. They are only 25 watt but perfect for my lamp and for 10c you can't go wrong. They were in basket down the back of the shop in with de-icer (50c).

25W?
I'd be blind if I tried to read with a 25 watt light bulb. The minimum for reading really is 40W. 25W might do as a nightlight.

Lol so would I! The lamps are really only ornamental with paper shades so the 25w does the job.

Looked for them again today - no luck, only Solus bulbs in clearance area and no 25 watt bulbs of any brand in the hardware section.

and creamfields is also actually tesco, its one of their "semi-phantom" brands, i.e. only reading the small print do you find out its tesco. One of the proper phantom brands is chokablok icecream, i.e. I don't think it has any mention of being tesco.

Creamfields cheese & milk are usually cheaper than tesco standard brand, and I prefer a lot of these semi-phantom brands. They have a "curry leaf" brand of sauces which are priced inbetween value and standard tesco stuff. If you examine & compare the ingredients you would think the curry leaf brand should cost more, i.e. higher amounts of expensive ingredients and less diluted.

Interesting you mention that ice-cream, I wouldn't usually check but assumed that it was a Tesco brand...must be the packaging. I find it ok value wise but definitely prefer the other ice creams of that kind

I've been a creamfields man since they introduced it, coincidentally it was created around the time of the great milk price wars of 2013. I've never noticed a difference and can't think of what the difference could be (apart from 20c). Does Creamfields allow them to import from the north (being a durty nordie, I'm all for it)?

Picked up 6 yesterday!

The build quality of these are fantastic and they really seal things in air tight.

I filled them up with water and shook them a lot and not a drop came out.

They seal even better than Tupperware's range.

The Creamfields Mature Cheddar is really good and a bargain too..:)

In the current Tesco magazine there's a €2 off voucher for Amstel Radler multipack, pdf is for illustrative purposes only, t&c's state the original voucher from magazine must be used, and the multipacks are on offer currently - http://www.tesco.ie/groceries/product/search/default.aspx?searchBox=Radler

I'm biased as I'm a lemon addict, but had some Wednesday and thought they were grand, definitely a summer drink, very refreshing. €5.50 for 6 is not bad going.

It is indeed, I used to be a fan of the M&S mature cheddars, but at the minute, the Creamfields 4 is my mature cheddar of choice, I do tend to change my favourites after a few months though.

My Makeup Perspective

The Florence & Fred sunglasses at Tesco are scanning at 50c instead of €6. Just in case anyone is looking for a cheapie pair of sunnies.

Can't post a photo on my phone but the barcode of the pair I nabbed today in Dundrum is 5052910 333162. They're Oakley-style ones with the half frames.

Yah they're usually stocked at the entrance or at the customer service desk in all Tesco stores.

I just picked up a black Nintendo wii with mario kart in Mullingar for €50. It was marked €99 on the shelf but scanned at €50. I am delighted, going to keep it up for Christmas for my 7 year old daughter.

Some clothes may be scanning wrong, I picked up a jumper yesterday evening, was originally marked €20, dropped to €15 but scanned at €3.75. Which was nice.

This was in Douglas btw.

Confirming this, except it wasn't Mario Kart with it.

Got the black Wii Sports Resort instead, marked at €150 but scanned at €50

How about more pasta than you can shake a big stick at. I ordered this online and I've written to Tesco as they only delivered 1 bag and not the 12 bags as advertised.

Bargain if you are buying top-up anyway

Tesco Value 10 Vegetable Stock cubes 15c (beef and chicken are 99c)
I got a few boxes best before 2016
Tescos Balbriggan

Just to say stock cubes should really be called salt cubes but the salt content in these value ones is similar to the more expensive organic ones.



Also randomly, most likely not a big seller, small ink cartridges for fountain pens are 4 cent a packet can't remember the brand but it's bic or something similar

Plenty of the Liberté 500ml 'Greek' natural yogurts in the Parnell Street (Dublin) Tesco for €1.49.

..though, it actually makes more sense to get the 4x100ml @ €1.37, they have the added benefit of a scrumptious layer of sugary fruity goo, at the bottom.

Both are specials, stock up while you can!

I read the packet last night on these, some amount of sugar compared to normal yogurts...

All very good, but their website is shyte tonight. Click on a lot of the phones on offer & the site brings you to the details on the Samsung E2200:mad:

And they are "Greek Style" as opposed to Greek - thickened with added milk protein rather than double-strained like proper Greek yogurt.

Tesco told me they wouldn't honor it as it was human error but did send me a gift card for pointing out the error.

Are you buying them in the shop? and are they scanning at that price? If so, I presume the twelve packs are in a box and you are scanning the barcode on the box?
