The green ones and the yellow ones are £1 but also scanning at BOGOF although not showing on the SEL as BOGOF in most stores.

The coupon is for the pink ones but most SA's don't check and it accepts the coupon.

I don't think the yellow ones are scanning as bogof now. i bought 4 earlier and they've just gone through at £1 each

Converted too but if the milk goes up to 80 odd pence after the 50p promo ends then it works out expensive as you can get 4 pints of the same milk in a bottle for the same price.

I find that they take up more room in the fridge too what with the handle on the jug.

You can remove the handle easily. I prefer it off as it doesn't seem to snap in place very securely anyway!

Just back from mr t's, went to collect copy of notes. The cs manager showed me the pad to read but my copied receipt was covering the bottom of the page. He read out the top paragraph and said, there honestly isn't anything derogatory. Told him I was more interested in the bit that was covered where it says they suspect fraud. Oh he says, I'm not sure what she means by that. Quite clear to me but he's gonna interview her when she returns to work as she's now conveniently off sick. While youre a it, I asked, could you also ask what she meant by this, and played my voicemail on loud speaker!!!!

Had a personal response from uncle phils office, it may take a while to get to bottom of...

On a kind of positive note, the same thing has happened in said store three more times where you buy one thing but something completely different shows on receipt and is charged for. Maybe I have my own cartel!!! Or Tesco's system is pants.

Could be just a local glitch but this a.m. bought a pair of gardening telescopic loppers. SEL clearly says £1.50 and barcode agrees with that on the item. It went through the till at £6. CS did DTD so £3 profit and a free pair of loppers. No others on shelf in my store but the SEL was definately machine printed (black and white) so it may appear in other stores. Could be related to the seasonal reductions that happened yesterday or today.

Hi Fanbosun!

Can you please provide the barcode for the Garden Loppers?

Ta!:)

I just bought 3 of the large 750g boxes of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes as they are on 3 for 2.

3 @ £2.98 = £8.94

Multibuy saving: 3 for 2 cereals -£5.27

Total paid £3.67

No idea why but a nice bargain.

where do you get the £5.27 figure from? if its 3for 2 then they should have taken off £2.98

I work at Tesco and noticed this go down in price last night. Pretty sure its a price error on their part and will probably be changed but at the moment its 50p.

Nice little camping stove to, comes in a carry bag and with a recipe book. Only thing needed is the gas for it.

Bought two for myself and we had quite alot left in our store.

Think it's this one http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-3070.aspx

Oh really, I didn't spot a sign in my Tesco. I was all miffed as they quite often have them on offer for £1 but it seemed like full price today so I was extra happy when they were only 64p. Maybe the store here was slow to put their offer signs up!
