• Value4Money: Graters

  March 11, 2008 @ 9:48 am | by Conor Pope

  It’s not often the cheapest product I review comes out on top of the pile, but I’m glad to say it happened this week.

• Value4Money: Razors

  January 28, 2008 @ 12:25 pm | by Conor Pope

  Disposable razors are not great, let’s face it. For the glory of Pricewatch this week I took five of the things to my face and head. I’m still bleeding.

• Value4Money: Pizzas

  January 22, 2008 @ 2:46 pm | by Conor Pope

  I spent last weekend eating fresh pepperoni pizzas for the glory of Pricewatch. By the end of the weekend I felt, and I fear looked, a bit like Homer Simpson. Most of the ones I tried were surprisingly good although I have to say the semi-DIY option from Dunnes was a bit terrible.

• Value for money: Cafetiéres

  January 14, 2008 @ 10:49 am | by Conor Pope

  I reviewed cafetiéres this week and got mocked by Ray Darcy and a number of other people for doing so! Apparently, they’re quite posh. . . I didn’t know that. Anyways, there’s a huge difference in price between the cheapest (M&S) and the dearest (Stellar) – over €70, in fact – but it was one of those times when the most expensive option still came out on top.

• Value for money: Selection Boxes

  I didn’t even know there was five selection boxes on the market until I went shopping for them last weekend. It’s hard to beat the original though!

• Value for money: Cream liqueurs

  December 5, 2007 @ 6:11 pm | by Conor Pope

  Sorry, it has taken me an age to post this and I know the world will have been waiting anxiously for the Pricewatch assessment of cream liqueurs in the run up to Christmas! I spent a long and solitary evening last week drinking five bottles of the stuff which is as much fun as it sounds…

• Value for money: Bluetooth headsets

  November 6, 2007 @ 6:52 pm | by Conor Pope

  I’d never used a bluetooth headset so came this totally cold. The challenge was to find a headset which didn’t make me look like an eejit – well, any more of an eejit than I look at the best of times. Not sure if I succeeded but I was pretty impressed by the cheapest and the dearest options…

• Value4Money: Cola drinks

  November 1, 2007 @ 3:30 pm | by Conor Pope

  Who would have thought there’d be so much variety. The best was hideously expensive, the cheapest was just hideous.

• Value for money: Dark chocolate

  October 22, 2007 @ 1:07 pm | by Conor Pope

  Finally! After weeks of reviewing vinegars and tinned tomatoes and various kitchen implements I get to try something nice! I felt just a little poorly after all the gorging, mind you.
