Superquinn sell 1 litre own brand and Walshe’s freshly squeezed orange juice for €3 and not from concentrate for around €2. If anyone buys there oj in small convenience stores they are asking to be ripped off.
Rick, true, but that doesn’t justify being ripped off. The “Only €2.99” tag was a sticker – maybe it is down to Dawn Foods though I haven’t seen this in other shops.
I got freshly squeezed orange juice a while back in Aldi for about €2.25 and it was YUM. Recommended. I’ll go back soon and check the brand name and exact price.
The Aldi juice which is squeezed in Carlow is delicious. A good cheaper alternative is Lidl Vitafit, EUR 1.49. I don’t buy Tropicana etc. unless on special offer.
BTW, Tayto LFC crisps (yum) 1.12 in Tesco, 2.24 in Dunnes. Pity I don’t have more time to shop around.
€5 for a 25g bag of kallo branston mini rice cakes in tesco maynooth!!!will try and send the pic i took on my phone!!the price has been up for at least a month id say….its not a place i frequent but i noticed it before xmas and it was still there last sunday!
Nicola, I noticed that one and also other very expensive items in Tesco Clare Hall, and I am 1000% certain they are mistakes. Like a packet of Tesco cookies for 5 euros. But when you point it to the staff, the answer is invariably “that’s the price on the computer”. Ah, if the computer says so…
I don’t have pics, but Tesco has a few “offers” with 50% extra, like their Finest oranges, where there is no sign of an extra 50%. In the case of the oranges, there should be 6 in the net if there were any extra ones, but there are still only 4.
Dunnes sometimes has special offers for half price products, but only some flavours in the same range. Like mini Tucs for instance. If you buy the cheese and onion, it’s half price, but not if you buy the sour cream and chives… Try as I may, I don’t get it
Lidl always have large bright signs to point to “permanent price cuts”, and when you look in details, the cut is for 1 or 2 cents. Not even worth the sign
The answer to why NFC orange juice is rising in price: most of the oranges come from Brazil, and one big manufacturer just bought out all the competition, pushing up global commodity prices.

That is a flashed pack so you will find the offender may indeed be Kerry Foods/Dawn and not Fresh.
