That will definitely work on Ryanair. You will get say 3 * E59 & 3 * E79 (next increment) as opposed to 6 * E79.Quote:

Just came across another classic rip off this week , have to buy specialist lactose free baby milk powder which costs about e6.39 in local chemist , the same stuff is 7.50 in Tesco and by co-incidence 7.50 in Dunnes as well, I would of expected the supermarket to be a lot cheaper than the chemists as they carry more stock but was shocked when they were both charging the same inflated price.
I think one of the papers is carrying a report about the same issue this morning. Haven't had time to look on line, but assume it's Tesco and Dunnes charging the same prices. As I mentioned on another thread, for all the hype all Tesco have done is price match Lidl in their supposed cuts - they won't even go the whole hog of a price war.
I think it is on the front of the Daily I should I say Irish Mail.Quote:

Yeah, Tesco have price matched Lidl, but now Lidl are running adds comparing the quality. The one I saw was Sausage Rolls - Lidl were a bigger pack, and with far higher pork content. A lot of the tesco yellow (and black) pack stuff is Tesco Value, and in fairness to Lidl their stuff was always way better than that.
From talking to people, it seems many are shopping around. Loads more in lidl and Aldi (I prefer aldi myself) but still prefer dunnes and tesco for stuff like meat, dairy products. Most don't mind spending a bit on the odd brand name either
