4 free Fender picks/plectrums 46p (two stamps)
On this Brand-F site, if you send them a SAE they will send you 4 guitar plectrums and a 5% off your next order code. You can request thin, medium or heavy thickness. Good stocking filler for the musically minded. Just done this for hubby as he's always losing his and they sent them straight away and he's really pleased…
Dowe Egberts coffee - Tesco - 4 for the price of 1
Tesco have Dowe Egberts 250g coffee (red filter pack and green cafetiere pack) at half-price (£2.49 down to £1.24). However, in my local store they still have some of the buy-one-get-one-free twin packs on the shelves and these go through at the same £1.24 price. 1Kg for £2.48 isn't bad!
Toothpaste Advice
Recently I have taken to using Boots Basics toothpaste - 29p per tube (and sometimes 3 for the price of 2). However I read Toothsmith's response to cheap toothbrushes (ie don't use them, get a decent one) and wondered what the opinion was on the Basics Toothpaste. I particularly mean the Boots brand, as that appears to…

Sainsbury 8 Quick Cook Quarterpounders 74p
Have just got back from Sainsbury in Oldham and noticed that they had a special reduction on their frozen 8 Quick Cook barbecue burgers, "Chargrill seasoned beef burgers 908gm". Usual price is £2.99 on sale at 74p. Also they have a banner on pack that says buy two for £5.00. Therefore by my reckoning if you buy two packs…

Misprice policies
I am aware of the tesco misprice policy, but are there any other companies out there with similar terms. Are there other supermarkets that do likewise, Asda, Sainsbury's etc. Not sure if this is the right price to post this, but thought it might be ok as the misprice thread originates from here.
