Weekly deals roundup: €100 off iPhone 15 Pro Max, sub-€10 Dyson dupe at Aldi
Hot air styling for less than €10, when the original costs hundreds
Mark
Why does a €10 blow dry brush from Aldi matter when Dyson costs hundreds?
Mimi
Because most people don't need the Dyson. They need something that works. Aldi's betting that hot air styling is hot air styling, and they're probably right. The price point is what makes it news—it's not a compromise, it's access.
Mark
The iPhone discount seems modest compared to what you see online sometimes.
Mimi
It's modest until you realize it's a warehouse sale, which means limited stock and no haggling. €100 off the 15 Pro Max is real money, and it's the current model. That doesn't happen often.
Mark
Why is the Space NK advent calendar on a waitlist?
Mimi
Because €1,400 of actual products for under €300 is too good to last. They're controlling demand. People will sign up, forget about it, then panic-buy when it drops. It's smart retail.
Mark
Are these deals actually good or just marketing?
Mimi
Some are both. The Aldi brush is genuinely cheap. The iPhone discount is real but time-limited. The advent calendar is value if you were going to buy those products anyway. The trick is knowing which category each deal falls into.
Mark
Who benefits most from this kind of roundup?
Mimi
People who have time to shop and money to spend, honestly. The cost of living crisis is real, but these deals reward people who can act fast and have a bit of cushion in their budget. That's worth naming.
Il Polso
- A rare stack of deep discounts across multiple retail categories has landed simultaneously, creating an unusually high-value window for Irish shoppers.
- Stock is finite and time is short — warehouse sales and Aldi Specialbuys are notorious for clearing out within days, turning browsing into a race.
- The gap between luxury and budget is being aggressively compressed: a €10 Aldi brush challenges a Dyson tool costing hundreds, forcing consumers to question what they're actually paying for.
- Holiday planning is already in motion, with Space NK's beauty advent calendar waitlist signalling that the most forward-thinking shoppers are moving months ahead of the season.
- Across fragrance, footwear, and tech, discounts are landing in the 25–40% range — not token reductions, but the kind of markdowns that shift purchasing decisions.

The weekly bargain hunt is quietly becoming less optional. Across Dublin and beyond, retailers are stacking discounts this week — the kind that reward those willing to act quickly.
Arnotts' warehouse sale is the headline, spanning electricals, homeware, and fashion, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max sitting at over €100 off. Apple's top-tier flagship, with its best-in-class camera and processor, doesn't often budge on price — and warehouse inventory moves fast.
Aldis answer to the Dyson Airwrap arrives this Thursday as part of their Specialbuys rotation: a blow dry brush offering hot-air styling for under €10. The logic is volume over prestige, and if it performs even reasonably well, the value is difficult to argue with.
For those thinking ahead to the holidays, Space NK has opened a waitlist for a beauty advent calendar offering €1,400 worth of mostly full-size products for under €300 — the kind of maths that makes a seasonal novelty feel like a sound investment.
LookFantastic is running a bank holiday sale open to Irish shoppers, with up to 40% off sitewide and the Lancôme La Vie est Belle Eau de Parfum down 25% — a reliable, mid-range fragrance that at a discount becomes something you buy for yourself rather than wait to receive. Meanwhile, JD Sports has Reebok Classic Leather trainers down 35%, a practical saving for back-to-school season when children outgrow shoes faster than budgets can keep pace.
The savings are real and the clock is running.
The weekly hunt for a bargain is becoming less a luxury and more a necessity. Across Dublin and beyond, retailers are stacking discounts this week—the kind that make you pause mid-scroll and actually consider buying something you've been eyeing. If you've got a few minutes and a willingness to act fast, there's real money to be saved.
Start with the obvious: Arnotts is running a warehouse sale that spans electricals, homeware, and fashion, but the headline item is the iPhone 15 Pro Max sitting at over €100 off. That's the latest flagship model, the one with the best camera and the fastest processor, suddenly within reach for people who've been waiting for the price to budge. It won't last long. Warehouse sales move inventory quickly, and a discount that deep on Apple's top-tier phone is the kind of thing that clears stock in days.
If you're not in the market for a phone but you do care about how your hair looks, Aldi has something unexpected. The Dyson Airwrap changed the way people think about blow-drying at home—hot air instead of direct heat, the kind of tool that costs several hundred euros and spawned a whole category of cheaper imitations that still run to the hundreds. Aldi's answer arrives this Thursday as part of their Specialbuys rotation: a blow dry brush that does the same job for less than €10. It's the kind of price point that makes you wonder how they're doing it, but the logic is simple—they're betting on volume and they're not trying to build a luxury brand. If it works even half as well as the expensive versions, it's a steal.
For anyone thinking ahead to the holidays, Space NK has opened a waitlist for their beauty advent calendar. The math is striking: €1,400 worth of products—mostly full-size items, not the usual miniatures—for less than €300. That's the kind of value that makes advent calendars feel like an actual investment rather than a novelty. The waitlist suggests demand will be high, so moving quickly matters.
LookFantastic is running a sale timed to the UK bank holiday this weekend, but Irish shoppers can jump in too. Up to 40 percent off across the board, with the Lancôme La Vie est Belle Eau de Parfum marked down 25 percent. It's the kind of fragrance that sits in the middle ground—recognizable, reliable, not cheap but not luxury-priced either. At a discount, it becomes the kind of thing you actually buy for yourself instead of waiting for someone else to give it to you.
Back-to-school shopping is in full swing, and JD Sports has stocked their shelves with discounts on trainers and sports gear. The Reebok Classic Leather trainers are down 35 percent—a shoe that's been around for decades, the kind of thing that works for school, for casual wear, for almost anything. It's not flashy, but it's the kind of practical saving that adds up when you're buying for kids who grow out of shoes every few months.
The deals are real, the savings are concrete, and they won't stick around. The question isn't whether to look—it's whether you'll move fast enough to actually get what you want before the stock runs out or the sale ends.
