    For me it has to be the tena pads, after so many years of using them, It has become habit adding them to my basket... So if you see a pack of tena at the end of a tesco till - you know I have been instore - Its now classed as one of those un-necessary items:j

    So if I find Tena, stockings, vagisil, durex etc, can I assume you had a PTS meet without me?
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p

    A Tena Snowman is no good near a heat source though - just like a snow Snowman

    Well bob call it a swap then... I can flog the stockings instead of the H&B at a carboot. Will make a bomb on them - when people decide to go undercover in Tesco!:rotfl:

    I do this too! But only occasionally and never frozen/chilled items. The reason is usually that I notice that the packaging is damaged or, if it's fruit/veg, that it's not in good condition (bruises, mould etc).

    As I say, it happens very rarely but I have done it. I will usually ask a staff member to put it back for me if I see one near the till. They don't seem to mind.
