Woohoo found a bit of mid table respectability!
Congrats to our finalists!!!
I'd be interested to know how much the list costs total and who was closest, disregarding the individual ups and downs, if your spreadsheet can accommodate after the trolley dash!

RE: Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL - Necro - 03-02-2022
Welcome Wichita, Barney and dave to our luxury goods aisle.
You will all have to answer three questions on the final Trolley Dash to determine who our winner will be.
You have until 10.40pm to PM me the answers to the following three questions.
Question 1: Below is an image of a number of vodka brands (70cl). PM me which you think is the most expensive.

Question 2: Below is an image of a number of whiskeys. Some are more expensive than others... PM me which you think is the most expensive.

If cat food was one of the questions, I guarantee Seph would have known the answer down to the last kernal
No I wouldn't aaron! you'd have to be some of cat maniac for that! constantly posting cat gifs, constantly talking about them and then referring yourself as one, I never do that!
2.99 for a tin of whiska's
RE: Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL - ari101 - 03-02-2022
Good luck to the finalists, those are hard questions (particularly as a non spirits drinker
) Caviar...

Probably Barry's, you have to pay for quality tea bags, unlike that other rubbish Lyons

I think I can do that with a simple sum function

BuileBeag's is only a euro and a few cent out!!!
Trigger's is pretty bloody accurate too!

RE: Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL - nothing - 03-02-2022
I'm quite glad I missed out on the trolley dash now, I don't drink so wouldn't have a clue! As for caviar... Not a scooby doo either!
Good luck Witchy, dave and Barney! You got this!
RE: Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL - ari101 - 03-02-2022
Oh that's cool, thank you.
Other than my crazy wrong smoked salmon answer (something I actually buy 😆), I don't think I did too bad over all.
And yes BuileBeag just better than Trigger... 😜

Caviar is rank. Wouldn't eat it if you paid me.

Caviar and fois gras are two food items I don't ever need to experience.

RE: Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL - Necro - 03-02-2022
While we're waiting for our finalists, here's where I got my info from as an FYI:
https://www.ceicdata.com/en/ireland/consumer-price-average/consumer-price-avg-bacon-ham-fillet
Basically it's info gleaned from the Central Statistics Office from 2001 to 2018 and averages the price of items over the same period.
Why 2018 and not any later? Well, they haven't done a more recent study on grocery prices in Ireland, or certainly not one I could find that was as comprehensive....
RE: Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL - nothing - 03-02-2022
Ah if I'd known I was shopping 4 years ago... I don't think it would have made any difference lol

Off the upright, off the crossbar, and making the mascot collapse to the ground, or, dancing and grooving with Necro Winton.
Next time you are are the checkout and you hear the beep... Think of the fun you could be having on supermarket sweep second-guessing and regret you could be having on a text based forum game

Ok well time is up but we have no entry from Barney unfortunately
Typical live TV!!
At this point if @nothing as our 4th placed entrant would like to submit some answers in the next few mins she can hop into the trolley dash in Barney's place?
RE: Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL - nothing - 03-02-2022

Okie dokie artichokies! It's time!!
@Wichita Lineman @davetherave and @nothing go head to head to head!!!
RE: Necro's Supermarket Sweep - THE REVEAL - Necro - 03-02-2022
Ok let's go!!
Question one involves copious amounts of Vodka!!
Interestingly three of the four brands were picked in this question... and the correct answer was left unselected!!!
| Sipsmith Barley Vodka | JJ Whitleys | Grey Goose | Chapel Down |
| €38.99 | €19.00 | €56.00 | €32.95 |
Wichita was in first and picked JJ Whitleys, unfortunately that's our 'Huzzar' of the premier vodka brands
dave came in and went for Sipsmiths. Close again but no dice unfortunately.
nothing in a mad dash round the supermarket went for Chapel Down.
So no correct answer though it's advantage dave as he picked the next most expensive version.... that only comes into play if we have no correct answers however...
| Player Name | Vodka |
| Wichita | JJ Whitley |
| dave | Sipsmith |
| nothing | Chapel Down |
