Win Tattersalls Tickets & Dubarry goodies worth €500

May 14, 2012 in . Freebies by Savvy Shopper | 90 comments

Anyone fancy a free day at Tattersalls ?

Finding ourselves quite tired of a routine that sees us doing nothing more exciting than galloping round the aisles of Penneys, TheSavvyShopper has come to the conclusion that we should get out of the city and saddle ourselves up for some altogether more wholesome pursuits !

Being at a complete loss on what to do, you can imagine our delight when the folks at Tattersalls International Horse Trials and Country Fair got in touch with a competition to win a pair of tickets to the event which was further sweetened because it comes with a bag crammed with Dubarry goodies worth a whopping €500 !

All you have to do get your hands on the free tickets and the Dubarry’s goodies is to leave a comment here and we will pick a winner at random in a sort of pin-the-tail-on-a-donkey kind of way next week !

For those of you who do don’t win but would still quite like an elegant day of shopping, show jumping and drooling over posh buff men in tight jodhpurs, the event is running from May 31st – June 3rd.Tickets start from only €5 and can be bought from www.tattshorsetrials.ie.

Win €100 to spend at Ruby Cotton

February 20, 2012 in . Fashion, . Fashion sales, . Freebies by Savvy Shopper | 131 comments

The fact that it’s been a whole 6 weeks since TSS last ran a competition has not gone unnoticed by folks in these parts.

“Give us a compo” some of you have cried, “Where’s all the free stuff” others have murmured – patiently ignoring these catcalls is easy for a while, but after a time even we have to relent.

So enter the folks at online fashion boutique RubyCotton, who, having heard the wails of discontent from these very pages have very kindly put up a €100 voucher for 1 lucky winner to spend as they see fit.

Simply leave a comment here and we’ll pick a winner sometime next week. In the meantime, if you really really cannot wait for your name to come out of the hat, Ruby Cotton have knocked 25% off selected pieces which means picking a few things up for spring shouldn’t break the bank.

Check out their fab new site here …. and good luck to all who enter.

We love free puddings ….

December 2, 2011 in . Freebies, . Restaurants, All over Ireland, Dublin by Savvy Shopper

On a recent sojourn around the streets of Phibsboro the Savvy Shopper was invited to sample the delights of the Woodstock Cafe.

Although our original intention was to sample some hearty, well sourced and well priced food, what was also discovered is that said establishment is also responsible for making what could well be the best Christmas Pudding TSS has ever tasted.

As is so often the case, what started out as a five minute chat turned into an orgy of Christmas Pudding appreciation and having discovered that you can’t buy these handmade puddings online, TSS finally plucked up enough Christmas courage to ask for some for our readers.

So, each week until Christmas TSS will be giving away a handmade Woodstock Cafe pudding and as always, all you need to do is leave a comment here to win one for yourself !

Our laziest competition ever!

November 25, 2011 in . Freebies, . Restaurants, Dublin by Savvy Shopper | 114 comments

king sitric Our laziest competition ever!

Competition is now closed …. more coming soon !!

We like Sundays at TSS. We make a pot of coffee to go with the Sunday papers and only when we are completely ready, TSS goes back to bed. What we never ever, ever do on Sundays … is rush.

Thinking it time we ran a competition that was as slow as our perfect Sunday, by chance we bumped into the folks at the King Sitric Restaurant who are kindly offering a perfectly relaxed Sunday Lunch on them.

As befits a competition of such easy disposition, there isn’t really a massive rush to enter and a gentle comment left right about here might see you and your guest meandering in the direction of Howth Pier to sample the delights of King Sitric’s award winning menu.

Naturally, we could talk all day about roast wild pheasant with game chips, Roaring Water Bay mussels or chocolate brulee with shortcrust biscuit ( all washed down with a bottle of reserve wine ), but if you are really curious about trying King Sitric’s Sunday offerings, you can see the full menu right here.

Good luck !

Simply leave a comment here and we will pick a winner next week. All that is left to say is a thanks to the folks at The McWilliam Park Hotel whose latest special offers you can find here.

Win: Lunch for 4 at Itsa Bagel ….

September 26, 2011 in . Freebies, . Restaurants, Dublin by Savvy Shopper | 133 comments

Roll up..roll up…it’s competition time on TSS and as regular visitors to these hallowed pages might by now know, TheSavvyShopper is quite partial to the occasional lunch at itsa Bagel.

Thinking we hadn’t heard from them in a while and noticing that the newest addition to the itsa Bagel clan is a rather family friendly branch in Malahide, by some uncanny coincidence they called us last week to ask if we’d like to run a competition which might help get the word out on the new store.

Naturally we said we would be happy to help and we agreed that if we offered one lucky winner and 3 friends the chance to win a rather large yet COMPLETELY FREE lunch, that would be a very good start.

So, as you all know by now all you have to do for you and the gang to win a bagel of choice, a hot beverage, a homemade gourmet soup, a homemade cake and a fresh smoothie to go home with, is to put your name in our virtual hat and leave a comment here.

The final point we’d like to make is that although the competition is really a way of announcing the new Malahide store, we realise that not all of you live nearby and as such you can redeem your prize in any of the 5 itsa Bagel branches.

Oh and in the unlikely event your name isn’t picked you can check out the latest lunch deals from itsa here.

Good luck to all and we’ll draw the winner next week !

***And the winner is Sinead Cryan – more competitions coming soon! ***

…. we salute you !

With leather and studs being the fashion statement of choice on the catwalks you can imagine our delight when three bottles of ABSOLUT ROCK EDITION Vodka arrived at Savvy Towers this morning.

Whoever sent them remains an enigma, but so gorgeous are these bottles that rather than get carried away and develop a very unhealthy fetish we thought we’d send them out as quickly as possible. Be warned, these are seriously desirable !

This competition is now closed - All entrants must be over 18 – Winners will be notified by email next week.

lush cosmetics ireland 300x258 Happy Christmas from Lush .... get your free gift set!

I’m not sure how exactly Lush and the SavvyShopper met. It might have been over a bar of freshly made soap, or even the exfoliating Sugar Scrub they make …. or it might be the lovely Jumping Juniper solid shampoo bar that my Mum swears by. I digress.

The other day, quite by chance, TSS bumped into Lush on Grafton Street at which point Lush turned to us and said something quite unexpected …

“Would five Savvy Shoppers like a free Christmas Star box set delivered straight to their door courtesy of Lush ? A box set containing freshly made, 100% cruelty free products, goodies like the Cinders, So White and Jingle Spells bath ballistics? “

“Yes …. I should think they would. Anything else ?”

“We also do a lip-balm called None of your Beeswax !”

To put your name in the hat – click here and we will pick out the winner on the 14th of December. Lush have branches in Dublin, on Grafton St and Henry St, and in Cork on Oliver Plunnkett St or you can shop online at http://www.lush.co.uk/
