It all started well enough for Seph but it seems he's crashed his trolley and is now searching for some cat toys...

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!

Oooh yes, that would be fun!

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.




Question 3: PM me the price (to the nearest €1,000) of 1kg of Iranian Belugia Caviar.

[Sephiroth_Dude]

It all started well enough for Seph but it seems he's crashed his trolley and is now searching for some cat toys...

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

[ari101]

Good luck to the finalists, those are hard questions (particularly as a non spirits drinker ) Caviar...

[Spears]

Thankfully I'm not in the final!

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Not sure where Kol gets his canned tomatoes from but he's overshot the runway by quite a bit here

or Sawduck too, with his/her €7+ teabags!

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   Gimme a sec....



BuileBeag's is only a euro and a few cent out!!!

Trigger's is pretty bloody accurate too!

[BuileBeag]

C'mon @davetherave you can do it!!! 

[Spears]

Barry's are the ones in the bargain bins round my neck of the woods 

[nothing]

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!

[ari101]

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... 😜

[cee_jay]

Huh. Full points for cheese and butter. This I'm not surprised at although eggs being my favourite food, quite disappointed with my 2 there!

[BuileBeag]

[Kol]

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

[Spears]

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

[Sephiroth_Dude]

That's not the bargin bin its just a special display for the Barry's tae 

[Necro]

While we're waiting for our finalists, here's where I got my info from as an FYI:

https://www.ceicdata.com/en/ireland/cons...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....

[nothing]

Ah if I'd known I was shopping 4 years ago... I don't think it would have made any difference lol

[Sephiroth_Dude]

We won't be long finding out who among us does the grocery shopping and who just does the grocery eating.

We already know who is male and who is female here.

[davetherave]

C'mon @davetherave you can do it!!! 

Well it's either going to be


or



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

[Necro]

Just waiting on @Barney92 now

[Sephiroth_Dude]

I think nearly all of my other guesses either ended in 0 or 5, why did I try to get fancy for milk??

The enthusiasm waned quickly, like any man presented with a long shopping list

Well the absolute cheek of ya ari!






























so true 

[BuileBeag]

No @davetherave you have to win! I chose you to support!!! 

[Necro]

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?

[nothing]

Sent!

[davetherave]

@BuileBeag Oh right, ok then. Don't worry I've got this in the bag.. the shopping bag.

[Wichita Lineman]

"You have until 10.40pm to PM me the answers to the following three questions."

This might explain why Barney is 'late'.

I'm happy to be ignored, I'm sure I was way off anyway!

[Necro]

Ah bollocks 

Ok I'll have to hold off until then as it's only fair.

Maybe he wont have answered by 10.40 and you'll get in anyway. I had to mention it as I thought it was 10.40 myself and could have also missed a 9.40 deadline as I was watching the Egypt v Cameroon match in parts at the same time as this.

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Let play hungry hungry hippo's while we wait...........








Ahhhh feck this I'm going to make tae and toast

[Necro]

Okie dokie artichokies! It's time!!

@Wichita Lineman @davetherave and @nothing go head to head to head!!!

[Necro]

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

[nothing]

Aaaahhhhh!

[Butty Brennan]

I would have got it right.  
Grey goose is top end stuff.
