Currys pricing

Mrs W

Not sure if this is the right place for this but I was so disgusted by it I had to post.

I posted it on the currys forum and they didn't reply either.


I went to purchase a sky magic eye in Dundalk today and it was 20.99 down from 28.99. I bought my last one a few years ago online so I thought it was very expensive. I was going to Newry anyway so said I'd have a look there...

It's £9.99... Absolutely extortionate price difference

Being in Dundalk of all places you should be well aware that electronics in particular are much cheaper in the North. Nothing new here. Nor is it unique to Currys.

Actually they're not. The southern stores do a lot more sales and deals than the northern ones. I buy quite a lot of appliances so always price in 5/6 places and normally end up purchasing in the south

Being in Dundalk all my life I try to buy in town but have to admit that for electronics Newry is almost always considerably . Of course I am always buying quality and not just kitting out a rental somewhere for letting.

Mrs W

I always buy quality, cheaper stuff doesn't last in rental properties. Good appliances come with good warranties and servicing.
I still always find cheaper in the south

I'd love to know where in Louth you get cheaper electrical and computing goods than in Newry.

Mrs W

Watters electric in culloville, lallys, used to go to Harvey Norman.
Price around and negotiate with them

Watters are in northern Ireland:D They are, admittedly, often by far the cheapest around.

I usually shop in Lallys but I do so knowing that the items are usually cheaper in the north. I negotiate and know the salesman in Lallys very well so get as good a deal as they can do. Last item was a HD TV bought here but I saw in Currys Newry a week later for just under 120 less - allowing for exchange rate.
