More Tesco Bargains [No Off-Topic Chat - See Post #1]

kn

I think people should be specific about Tesco 'bargains' in their postings because every Tesco store has a 'clearance' section that contains stock that that specific store is getting rid of for one reason and another and are not nationwide selling prices. If people state clearly that the reduced price item was in a specific store's clearance section as distinct from being at a generally available discounted price then that will save people going around to different store's like blue ar$ed flies thinking that the product they read was on sale at some other store was generally available when that may not be the case.

In Navan, 4 x 415g Heinz Baked Beans cans €1.77
Six pack was €4.99, by way of comparison.
415g is the "standard" sized can by the way.

The 4 x 415g pack were €1.77 in Wilton today also, even though tesco.ie states the price as being €3.55 still. Very good value if a single tin is 95c!

the feckers must have put more out because there were none over the last few days when i was looking for them. where are they?

Just to ad that the name of the store and the location of the bargain is handy, but also, if you have the barcode for the item you can get the people on the customer service desk to check if it is in stock. So if your local store doesnt have the stock, dont give up!

The stock will be the same price in all stores, as long as it doesnt have its own yellow label stuck to the item.

depends on the store id say, Tesco douglas have no stock checker, (or at least that is what the staff insist if you ask them if something is in stock)

The in store computers have that facility, the one where the staff print out their pricing tags. A staff member will have to use it though. They always check for me in my local store.

Oh and can we stop with the line "I got the last one" too?

This doesn't help fellow boardsies at all if it's a Tesco bargain but eh there's none left :rolleyes:

it does help actually, by stopping you going to that particular store when there is none left there.

but remember people have access to an estimated 4 or 5 tesco stores,

by saying the above you are telling people that the product is reduced but gone from store A, so try B, C, D & E.



by the way Tesco Douglas are selling clothes rails for €10 they can usually be up to €15-€20 elsewhere.

It does help fellow boardsies. Someone might have taken the last one from some Tesco in Galway but I may find several in Tesco in Midleton or Wilton. Often in other stores items might not be marked at the reduced price so without someone (who took the last one somewhere else) posting about it, I wouldn't know about it. Apart from the stickered clearance items that someone mentioned most items are reduced nationwide

Any idea of how much off on the baby stuff. Things like SMA tins of baby formula? Someone on the baby bargain thread said there wasn't much off any of the baby stuff at all.

€3 of stairgates for example. That's a poor reduction when argos are knocking a fair bit off. According to the other thread the tins are about €10 which is about 50c off the price before xmas and still less than a €1 off normal price.

Apparently they've an agreement not to compete on the price of formula, which is why they all raise the price of it at the same time!!! Anyone know the definition of 'cartel' btw?

Keep an eye on the stair gates, we picked up a lindam pink bed rail (retail price €20est0
for €5 once the blue ones were full price. they tend to do things like that.

i think that they cannot reduce the price of Formula or do offers on it, or promote it if its for under 3's, its something to do with breastfeeding and promoting formula discouraging it or something.

its not a cartel its just child health.

I understand that the theory is that they don't want to encourage formula over breast feeding, but price rigging isn't the best way to achieve such results,
Aptamil was €9.75 when I first encountered it 3 years ago and is now €12.15, it has never dropped in price in my experience and is always

they were in the kitchen aisle towards the back - there's no price on the shelf so I checked it on the price checker where the saucepans & pots & stuff are - last one might hopefully still be there for you next time you're in

Asking Customer services is handy. Many bargains don't even make it onto the shelves because they're stuck on shelf in the warehouse for the last year or two.

Missed a couple of back up hard drive yokes in Eason and Tesco recently. Neither of them were ever on display. Someone asked before me.

The cost of delivering has only gone up in recent years with the extra costs associated with the cost of diesel ect. That a long with many other factors is where the price increase has come from. Not a "cartel"

I saw that . They were selling really cheap in tesco northside and clare hall too. Just shows how collecting all those stamps a few months ago for half price luggage was a waste of time. They are like Arthur Daly wheeler dealers just trying to offload them.

Double post!!!

Purfect putt (like gator golf ) reduced from €13.99 to €3 in Drogheda excellent for birthday presents for the kiddies parties through out the year

Picked up one of the 89cent flan dishes today, thanks to whoever posted it. Plenty left in Douglas, they're on a shelf upstairs just to the left of all the rest of the roasting tins and things like that, beside a load of thermos flasks, no price ticket but scanning at 89c.

Tesco are giving a free 2013 Diary when you buy 2 keeling berry punnets.

Did a free sports bottle deal during the summer with 2 punnets but if you brought it to the self service check out it scanned at €0.01 without the punnets.

Could be a cheap diary for boardies, haven't tried it myself yet.

I know someone already said about how it's stupid that a new packaging so they upped the price to 1.05 to bring it back to 95 in a sale. However over the last few weeks before this 'sale' I was only ever charged .95 for the wipes in the new packaging. In both Naas and Tallaght. I never once saw it for €1.05 nor was I charged for it. I got a few packs over last 2 weeks all at 95c with no baby sale / reductions.

I rang and asked Wilton and Douglas yesterday and both said long gone.

Odd, all the wagner luggage was sent back.



There's an old pack as above of these scanning at €1.34, yellow label, says Reduced to clear. I got some in Lisduggan, Waterford. But the new pack, I think its gren is scanning at €2.69.

Still some of the flan dishes in Maynooth, no price label with them, but scanning @ 89c

Lyons Gold Label tea bags 80 pack €2 - not labeled as being on special but in comparison, 40 pack are €2.59 and 160 pack are €7.35, so certainly cheaper! Same price on Tesco website, again not showing as a special price, so possibly a mistake.

That practise is illegal.

stirliz

Tesco baby wipes have been .95 as long as i can remember .
And is is CHEAPER to buy them individually then in 4 packs :rolleyes:

wmpdd3

The item has to be on sale for 28 days previously to be a reduction, atleast that applies to clothes in a sale. I didnt see the price changed to €1.05. The labels just seem to say 'new' not reduced and are still 95c. Maybe I missed something. BUT the 4 pack was always 3.89, but they are now 3.99, so cheaper to buy 4 single packs.....

Anyway, the Tesco Christmas Crisps are out of date this week, so any store with them left over will have them yellow stickered and as they are already 49c, they should be reduced to half nuthin! To me they were the best crisps Tesco did all year. The usual Handcooked crisps are so hard you jaws get tired eating them.

Nanazolie

Christmas chocolates still half price at Tesco Clare Hall. Wonder when they will really clear them? They usually go down to very, very cheap and the whole shelf is gone within a few days.

Condensed milk 1.64€. The unsweetened one is at 97 cents.

hoodwinked

Just to give people the heads up i just picked up the last two 89c Flan cases in tesco douglas there today....


they do however have that new flora baking margarine liquid (in the bottle) at half price for anyone thinking of baking!
