    With thanks to Rons90000, although people are reporting that many stores have changed SEL to full price.


    Issey miyake free with dtd @ tesco
    This eau de toilette was half price @ £16 with shelf saying this offer finishes today. But already scans at full price so nice dtd

    happens to me a lot with the indian meals have had 4 quid dtd quite a few times with it
    best win in 2011:eek: 4 nights in Las Vegas :eek:
    2011 wins £8,752.00
  • apologies if being dim but....dtd???
  • dtd = Double the difference. ie if it says it will be £4 but you pay £6 they give you double the difference (ie £2 x 2 = £4)

    Obviously on a 20p bulb going for £12, difference £11.80... x 2.... its quite good!!
    If I had a pound for every pound I'd lost, I'd be confused
