Dominic Smith Electrical (053-9484444) of Gorey, Co Wexford, has just opened a second sister branch in the old Dundrum Shopping Centre in Dublin. To celebrate their expansion they’re offering Irish Times readers who present today’s column the opportunity to buy the following appliances for less. For telly addicts there’s a Panasonic 42-inch LED television that was €1,299 reduced to €899 and a Panasonic 42-inch 3D TV down from €999 to €699. If you’re in the market for a new dishwasher then check out their Bosch offer giving readers the opportunity to buy a new model for €239 instead of the RRP of €349.

And if you need a serious coffee to jumpstart your day then the Delonghi digital automatic coffee machine, reduced from €1,499 to €899 may represent a solid investment.
