Except the poster referred to Kerrymaid, which is a spread (fake butter) not Kerrygold (actual butter).

Ah, my mistake. I saw butter and assumed Kerrygold.

How can Tesco justify a price of 2.09e for 500g and beside it sell 1kg for 2.04e ?
Are Irish consumers that foolish , that they would actually buy the smaller tub and pay more money for it ?

there are people that would only use a small amount of it and families that would use the larger one for someone that uses very little it would make no sense to buy the larger one regardless of the price

I can't believe we are discussing butter. Let's stop spreading this out.

CuppaCocoa

They must be discontinuing the products although they're still available on the UK website?

Both Mortadello and Porcetta are reduced to 63c per pack (140g):eek:. Dates are until the end of January. They also have Spanish and Italian Antipasto platters reduced to €1! All these will freeze. They're great on pizzas!

I could never understand how someone would spend more money on the smaller item, until I got married. Now my wife will give out to me if I buy a big clumsy tub of butter, even if it was less than the smaller one! :eek:

There is a basket of electric stuff in Balbriggan. Various types of (wireless I think) computer mouses, Seinnheiser ear phones (in ear), one Fuji camera, one sat nav (Tom Tom I think), Microsoft Office 8.

The top floor to the right of the self service checkouts as you're standing in the shop looking out into the shopping centre iykwim.

Yes, unless you use the quantity and its cheaper to buy in bulk, but as mentioned recently, sometimes it is cheaper to buy a number of smaller items,I think they like to keep people on their toes and expect most people will assume the bigger item is cheaper per volume or weight and go for it on that basis, buying more and not at a cheaper price.
Depends on what storage you have too.
But a large tub of margarine as an example (I only use butter now) could get a bit grubby (toast crumbs and the like) unless it was used quickly.

Having said that, sometimes the smaller item for a bit more is the item, size and quantity people need even if it is a bit more in cost. Probably wouldnt sell them otherwise, ie they know people will buy them, from purchasing information/reward cards or other surveys?

I really don't give a sh*t. I just keep hoping someone might post a bargain. Ridiculous of me I know.

You should say that the other way around :
Why are some people amused if a smaller item is dearer than bigger item''

It makes little of the thread '' bargain alerts '' to attempt to instill into the brains of us consumers that its simply sometimes better value to pay more for just half of any item.

I bought a Transformers beach towel for my nephew at 4.30pm today in Tesco Balbriggan for €3.50, there's one left.

Quality wise; It's a very thin towel, the type that people buy on a sun holiday and then leave behind BUT it's a Transformers towel !

Can we please stop talking about butter v margarine (food forum maybe) and big being cheaper than small (rip off Ireland forum maybe)

This is prime Tesco bargain time!

There are Furby booms in Tesco Ballinasloe for about €30 or so, but I think i bought one there this time last year for €13 or something so it might be worth holding out

Anyone see any wifi printers reduced in any Tescos ? Need to get one and hoping to pick up a bargain.

They seem to have quite a number of different printer models at the moment, so I'm also hoping to see some clearance on them soon. I can't imagine there is a big demand for them.

Glad to see Tesco Claremorris has restored their small clearance section. It was gone for the last couple of months.

Got Botanical Four-Pocket Garden Apron yesterday, reduced from 14 to 3.50, part of Christmas clearance.

Has anyone found any reduced power banks lately? Saw three different models in Castlebar yesterday, but all scanned at full price.

Got one of these irons in Newbridge Kildare. One more left on top shelf of eltricsl goods. None in Naas or Kildare town. It has to be the one with the watch best buy logo on the front. Otherwise it's full price.

Hi anyone see these close to clarehall (none there) and desperate for one but couldnt afford it at full price.

Just to update got a HP 2544 printer wifi in Ardkeen Waterford reduced to €49.00 had a competitor voucher for €10 off a €50 spend so a bar of chocolate with it and printer was then down to €40 . Its a smartphone/tablet print/scan and copy just set it up on the laptop and works fine will do the job.
Comes with small ink cartridges so priced them and about €16 for the black ink in Tesco imagine I will find cheaper somewhere else.

That's a great price, compared to the Dell on offer for a similar price this one has an optical drive and a better processor.

This is a Q1 2012 laptop- versus the Dell is a Q2 2014 laptop.
The processor is in the Dell is vastly more power efficient than the one in the Acer- but from a performance perspective- they are probably up there similar to one another (the graphics in the Acer may be very slightly better).

Personally I'd go with the Dell- the BIOS in the Acer has an annoying whitelist associated with it (aka- you can't upgrade the wifi card etc- what you see is what you get).

TerrorFirmer

Now in fairness that's just nitpicking. 99% of people who buy a laptop have no interest in upgrading their wifi card, and the Acer is certainly a better processor - it's a 'proper' Sandybridge Celeron, the one in the Dell is an Atom-based Celeron.

For those who keep asking 'can it run x and y', the Acer is a much better buy.

not sure if this is an actual bargain or not, but in crescent sc in limerick there is an Asus Transformer Book at €349 (hand-written sticker, says rrp is €650)

The Hobbit - Desolation of Smaug on blu-ray is marked €22.99 but scanning at €15 (the standard bluray, not the 3d version)

The_Conductor

Has anyone any idea *which* the Asus Transformer Book is?
Aka- which model- specs etc.?
Looking at generic searches for Transformer Books on Argos/PC World/Saveonlaptops and a few different sites- has thrown up a few different models- with varying price tags between 164 and 950 Euro. Theres even a Core i7 in there!
This might be a remarkable bargain- or it might be well missable- depending on which one it is...........
