Got two free 'Kids' Throws' today: SEL £5, scanned at £10, £20 DTD back. The SEL date was 10/07/2011! The 'free' kettle and toaster were still there, same outdated SELs as yesterday.

I also found a Panasonic Blu-ray player: SEL £84.97 (ended 12/07/11) half-price from £169.97. Unfortunately, it didn't scan at the latter price otherwise it would have been mine. It did, however, scan at £119.99, leaving DTD of £70.04, making the player £49.95. A decent price, but too rich for my blood as I own a PS3 which does the job just as well.

LOL don't go crazy about the geotagging... the stuff is yours, you paid for it(one way or another) and have receipts for it... it's not stolen or anything...

Thing is with these is that it's pretty pointless posting pics of stuff as the probability of an item having the same incorrect SEL at another store is close to nil. It's down to individual staff tardiness and I prefer it this way - it takes work, whereas penny items/glitches are just leeched by the masses of lurkers.

Phew, rant over. I wasn't having a go at you, just saying that pictures are useless as you're unlikely to find the same incorrect SEL in your store. For the sake of it though, it's a 'Kids' Throw' in a light blue. Blue was the only one with a yellow outdated SEL. There was four there, I got two - this illustrates my point now - even if I told you the store, the SEL has been removed so you wouldn't be able to get them anyway! Nevertheless, if you REALLY want a pic, you'll have to PM me a mobile number so I can send you one as my attempts at uploading here have been pretty dire of late.

On to the kettles and toasters: both are stainless steel, I think Russell Hobbs, although don't quote me on that. They'll be easy to find as they only stock a maximum of three solely stainless steel toasters/kettles. Both are scanning at £39.97, yet the SEL (dated 12/07/11) states £19.97, so work out being paid 3p to take each away. If you want to know which store, feel free to PM me, unless you've worked it out from previous posts of mine!

Oh, and as for the 'getting a fix' thing - that's what I felt like today. I was two scans away from buying a kettle and toaster just to satisfy my craving! Then on the penultimate scan, the throws came good.

just a tescoism, they really cannot afford the negative publicity of pulling this policy after admitting defeat 3 years ago by pulling R&R

Well I hate to have to say this but, that was exactly the argument why we said R&R would never be pulled...... and it was!:eek:

There was lots of talk about how much Tesco would get fined for overcharging people, and that R&R worked out cheaper for them..... but Tesco did pull R&R and unless anyone knows different all the talk came to nothing.:(
If Tesco are finding things 'tough' (ok, in Tescos mega-million pound profit eyes 'tough') then I would not bet against them pulling DTD.
So get those bargains while you can - I got 4 more black striped glasses yesterday, but todays store had removed all the stickers - spoilsports:p

Tesco Vine Ripened Tomatoes Tesco Half Price Was £1.80 Now 90p!

Could anyone help me out and point me in the direction of evidence to prove we can use 3 petrol vouchers in one transaction. I was sure someone said we could use 3 but I know if I don't have the evidence the trout in there won't let me. And when you're filling a 9 seater bus then 15p off is a LOT of money

Thanks
