Are you sick to the back teeth of hearing / reading about eggcellent value, bargain eggstravaganzas and eggsquisite deals?
Yup, me too, so to cut the BS, see below for a rapid-fire overview of the shopping deals in stores this weekend.
Aldi

Sometimes, just sometimes, you can get very lucky indeed in the half-price section. But you have to be careful. Don’t get fooled by the shiny red or yellow stickers proclaiming their products’ bargain status. ‘Slashed’ from €2.59 to €2.39 is not a bargain, especially as it’s going out of date...

Good God, I ventured into Tesco, Dooradoyle, Limerick on Thursday night. That’s the evening before Good Friday, when alcohol can’t be sold. It was like a battlefield. You’d swear Irish people would never ever be able to get hold of a bottle of chardonnay for ever more! Anyway, if...

I don’t get all the fuss really, to me they’re just fruit scones with sweet stuff drizzled in lines, but a) I

Lidl’s up next, and their Saturday offers are nothing to be sniffed at. As usual there’s one solid good value deal and three other slightly random products, which I’m sure, will be very attractive to some people, but not everybody. Take for example this Saturday’s specials – Coca Cola...

Oh crap. The half price Easter Eggs are here. That means that my tired resistance-devoid brain will reckon that instead of spending €3.79 on a bag of Maltesers I’d be muuuuuch better off, and farrrrr more frugal if I just bought an Easter egg instead. Or two. Or three....

This week the offers at Supervalu include 33% off Irish Leg of Lamb (fair play for allowing us to stock up on our Easter joints early!) priced at just €8.97 per kilo, not bad going. A little less interesting are the reduced round roast (€7.03) and pork steak (€6.44)...
