This clubcard only price is the biggest scam since diesel went over 2 euras.
Im surprised there hasn’t been more commotion over it.
I’ll stick with Mr Price, Dealz, and Discount Chemists if they’re going to pull that shite
Perhaps you should get one then
You know it is free, right?
I never noticed this was a thing! I’ve my app tho cos I use the scanners now so I can track my budget as I buy.
Ok, buy a different one then
Absolutely didn’t know this had become a thing, seems very scammy/borderline illegal: “let us have your personal and shopping data or we’re going to charge you way more”
I just get the stuff for 55 cent in Lidl.
That is really starting to piss me off – so much so I actually avoid going into tesco
They really want that data. Go on, give it to them. It’ll improve your life.
Stopped shopping in Tesco years ago. Never come across more rude or uninterested staff in my life.
Had to buy a gift card for someone and stood at the customer service (lol) desk while the 2 wans has a conversation about another colleague. When she finally decided to serve me I said “hope im not disturbing you” she flung the card back on the counter with a sarcastic “thanks” when it was done.
Fuck that place. Supervalu, Aldi or Lidl have far better staff. If you want brand shower gel or washing powder etc choice, dealz or those places always have it far cheaper
1.50 In dealz. I get all my bathroom and kitchen stuff in dealz.
I shop in Aldi find it so much cheaper overall. I’ve no superdrug near me but I have mr.price and that is normally good value.
Shower gel is just soap with different additives. A bar of soap costs 20c
From my last visit to tesco it looked like they have moved any normal discounts to clubcard only discounts. Bit if a rip off without it. Not paying €7 for a little tin of Azerra…
Dealz. 1.50
Yeah it’s a real con. Having everything double priced can be confusing.
Price comparison of the major retailers for lynx ice chill 500ml.
Tesco €5 / €3.50 with club card
Dunnes €5.75
Boots €6
Supervalu €3.12 (50% off ) Regular price €6.24
Product not listed on Dealz , Aldi or Lidl.
Can’t explain how angry this makes me — feeding the machine. Putting ‘regular’ prices as club card prices is extortion, not great savings. It saddens me to see Dublin like this, there’s no future for younger generations!
Theyre just doing it get your data for free when you sign up for clubcard
So glad I live on the border. Same product in Tesco is £2.20 which is about €2.55 and that’s without a clubcard.
I have a tesco in equal distance away in the Republic and their prices are just the same as this despite most of their shelf lines being imported from mainland Britain.
Rip off Ireland once again.
Mr. Price or Dealz will have name brand stuff like Lynx or Nivea for no more than €2.50 usually, go there instead if you can.
Also if you get yourself a loofah (one of those scrubby things for use in the shower), squeeze a bit of shower gel into that for washing yourself and you’ll be amazed how much mileage you get.

Lads the 2 Euro shop is absolutely class for having branded products for cheaper. I like the Dettol handwash and it’s only 1.50 compared to like 4 euro elsewhere
Biggest rip off is pain killers and cold and flu tabs, I luckily live near the border. £1.29 v €10.50 for same cold and flu tabs just generic branding.
Since early this year I moved to an Irish soap company [the black stuff](https://theblackstuff.com). Makes soap from stout and the deodorants are superior to what you get in the shops. Price and shite quality of these mass produced things and get longer out of the soap and roll on deodorants he makes
Just sign up for a club card. You get it instantly on your phone these days.
This does annoy me too for some reason, I know that all our data is being sold anyways etc etc.
I feel like we’re being fucked twice on this though, like google sells your data in exchange for services that are mostly free. Tesco sells your data and takes your money too. So they are profiting twice off you.
I don’t mind if there are extra offers, like weekly clubcard prices or offers but they basically made all offers into needing a clubcard. It’s a scummy thing to do at this time. The prices are also misleading, the ‘clubcard price’ isn’t even that good but it’s the only offer available in some areas.
Tesco is the closest and handiest supermarket for me but it has put me off shopping there. I think it’s the principal of pressuring you into getting something that you didn’t have to a few weeks ago. The offers are the same, they are just labelled Clubcard price now.
1. look for picture of clubcard online
2. scan and extract barcode value using some barcode reading app (may have to zoom in, they’re mostly good even at low res)
3. put barcode value into a barcode-creating app for storing club cards – loads of apps to choose from
4. use said barcode whenever you shop and enjoy discount.
5. feel good you’re donating points to a stranger!
Just get a club card. Simple. Doesn’t cost you anything and if you’re that stuck up about sharing shopping habits, then use fake details and a throwaway email address. Hoorah, cheaper prices unlocked for you.
Who in their right mind is paying a €5er for shower gel ? I’ve mad dry skin so have to use Sanex or Simple but I’d rarely pay more than €3 for it because it’s always on offer somewhere.
Why not get one? its just an app on your phone. Unless you’re living off the grid (you’re posting on Reddit like) then so many companies have infinitely more intimate data about you. But no, get your knickers in a twist about a grocery retailer like Tesco knowing you buy food, home and personal hygiene products!
I also assumed once lads reached the age of about 12 they stopped using shitty lynx products.So it’s a bizarre product to even be faux outraged about. Are you outraged about the price of Nuts magazine too?
Noticed this last week. It just highlighted how expensive Tesco is and made me chose elsewhere to shop in future. Don’t understand how they thought this was a good idea.
Then get one
definitely worth getting one with the savings they offer
Sounds like Tesco is trying to charge you €1.50 not to track your spending habits.
I have a suggestion what they can do with that €1.50, but it might not be legal tender afterwards.
Aren’t clubcards free?
Or just go to Lidl and buy one there 😉
Are we really getting upset about €1.50? Just go to Lidl or aldi if you’re shopping is price sensitive
Buying lynx? You deserve to pay full price
Then get one?
I stopped shopping at Tesco over this.
Reeks of desperation and hard-on for a two tier stratification of their shopping base. Craven data harvesting
Why not just rise above this shit and offer the same discounts to everyone
That’s what it will take to win me back
Get a clubcard
Only shock here is 1. People still shop in Tesco and 2. People still pay daft money for lynx branded products
Tbh you might as well get a club card. It costs nothing, you get discounts like that and it has the usual points system. I think it’s something like every £10 you get 1 point and 1 point is worth £1. So say over 6 months you spend £1k in Tesco’s, that’s then £100 you can use on your shopping. Like it’s worth it.
I got a 750ml bottle of radox with a pump top for about €4 in Dunnes a few weeks ago. Class Job
I never go to Tesco without the Ma’s club card,the problem is she died over a decade ago and she would be 106 now if alive but they don’t seem to notice,her club card is dead handy for getting cheap deals,ill keep using it til someone notices.
