New Discount Grocery Shop Opens
Posted by: peter in: Bargains & Special Offers | Good Value
“Prices typically 50% cheaper than mainstream supermarkets,” says CheepCheep, a new discount grocery warehouse. Customers reserve their products online and have four days to collect them from the depot in Bray, Co. Wicklow.
This is a great initiative and it will be interesting to see how well it does. The company, founded by husband and wife team Kevin and Nafisa Brennan, keeps its overheads low by conducting business online and dispensing with a retail premises.
Its range includes well-known Irish and international brands, organic and Fairtrade products. Every week, CheepCheep offers three hot buys. This week, a 6pack of Coca-Cola costs €1.89, compared to €3.43 at Tesco or Dunnes; Bunulan Organic Penne at 79c, compared to €1.59 at Tesco; and Tresemme Thermal Shampoo and seperate conditioner at €2, compared to €5.59 at Tesco.
I haven’t done the calculations, but it seems that its prices may be significantly cheaper than Sainsbury’s or Asda in Northern Ireland. It might also give Tesco’s border stores a run for their money. I’ll check out CheepCheep over the next few weeks. In the meantime, if any of our readers pay a visit, please let us know your thoughts.
