Had a little OODSELs trip today to Br**kfield C*ntre Ch*shunt. Did most of the electricals and toys. Quite a few expiring 12/07 are still scanning at their lower price:mad::mad:

Found one item, there are two on the shelf: Little Steps Activity Walker SEL £12.50, scanned at £25. I left them there as they are big items and OH will divorce me if I bring home any more unneeded tat. Haven't got anyone with a pre-crawling baby in my crowd so couldn't justify it.

But if anyone wants two free ones they are still there for the taking!

once again overcharged in Banbury Tesco and told DD is suspended due to the fact that they are behind with ticket changes. this time i was charged £3 for a black bucket that said £1.00 on the shelf. i said to the cs lady i was over charged the other week and refused DD but have complainted to HO and they said you had no right to refuse it. My complaint from last times not been sorted yet. do you think i should ring them this time ?. not very happy really

Jeez how do other major (and even small) retailers manage? Oh how I wish I'd gotten up earlier and gone DTD hunting!

I spotted a few expired 12/07/2011 SEL on some electricals (surrey quays store)

saw an ipod dock exactly like this - PHILIPS FIDELIO DS3020 DOCK FOR IPOD/IPHONE http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.211-3543.aspx

instore price - was £74.97 SEL stated save £30.00 making it £44.97, it scanned on the pricechecker at the higher price, so could get DTD £60
there were other philips ipod dock things/digital radio all on the same display with expired SEL.


Also saw an iron think it was like this one - Philips GC3330 Steam Iron http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-1751.aspx SEL stated £19.97 save £10.00 scanned on pricechecker at £29.97 so DTD would be £20.


and in the clearance section they had a canon pixma photo all in one printer - SEL expired 12/07/2011 stated £29.97 HALF PRICE from £59.97... scanned on pricecheck at £59.97 so could get it free... I didn't buy it though as too big to carry and don't drive... plus don't really need a photo printer.

Ohh good luck! Im going in tonight for a look round, nice to see someone else from Br*stol, Ive seen stuff left by the price checker so many times ie harpics, truffles, socks etc so knew that there was a friend of martins shopping in their too! :rotfl:

There must be someone else too, ang - I am a good boy and always take stuff that I've scanned back to its shelf. I believe in helping the elves as much as possible!

Anyway... sound the fanfare! I bring news! :rotfl:

I am making a brie and cranberry tart tonight so needed some cranberry sauce. Was pleased to spot Ocean Spray Wholeberry Cranberry Sauce 350g marked down from £1.65 to 50p a jar! Result! I bought 12 Just to compare, Tesco Cranberry Sauce was 50p for only 200g, so if you can find this Ocean Spray stuff it's definitely worth getting a jar or two for Chrimbo at least. Still some left in Br*sl*ngton ang1234, as well as loads of 22p sweet chilli nuts

I then had a good wander around the homeware and electronics sections, and this laptop stand caught my eye:

Laptop Stand Barcode

The stand was on offer for £12something - it had already been reduced twice. I bought it and it went through as £29.97. Apparently the offer had ended yesterday and it was an out of date SEL. Well fancy that! :rotfl:

CS only offered me STD so I politely reminded them about DTD. She seemed a bit flustered and managed to screw up my refund - I only checked when I'd gone outside, but she only gave me £29.97 (the cost of the item) instead of £35 something (which would've been DTD). I couldn't be fussed to argue on this occasion, so I returned home on my bike with my backpack heaving... almost 10kg of jars and bottles on my back!

Almost forgot - I scanned some ties which were similar to the socks reported. There was a "No 1 Dad" tie, as well as a "Super Dad" and finally a "Grumpy Old Git" design. They were marked down from £4 to £2 but all three scanned at 50p. These were all in B*islingt*n T*sco. HTH

Happy hunting!

Fleets bridge still have the tumbler glasses, much to the dismay of cs lady, she had asked someone to remove the stickers twice today already! Also got a lady shave, Philips with out of date sel, scanning at £40 sel said 1/3 off, combined above with - £5 off £50 and a sainsburys £6 off so with cash back spent few pence.

Checked all phones and iPod docks and hair are, even though sells are out of date, still scanning at lower price.

Out of interest, some poor old fella was asking why he didn't get a petrol voucher, he hadn't spent enough and got the wrong tuna...I gave him mine as off on hols so won't use it. He was very grateful! Anyhow, the lady at cs said you shouldn't have done that, you can use three at once! So confirmed that for this store, plus I've still got loads anyway!!!

The only ones I saw in the new big store in Liverpool where stacked up on the floor , about 30 0f them with a big cardboard sign saying £50. On a mission now as I have been looking for over a week. Covered every store from Southport to the south of Liverpool.

If anyone by me sees them can they let me know. Thanks
