Read through the Grabbit board and caught up on this thread and was going to look for a few baby bargains or cheap electricals, but considering the weather, I scrapped the idea. Don't actually NEED anything anyway and it's positively wintry in Glasgow... Only a full-blown glitch will get me out of the house today!

I know what you mean I'm in Paisley and the weather is

Tesco hoses with 4 attachments are selling at 50p now! I bought 6 and there was a lot instore although the staff were grabbing lots.

These are just the hoses only and were £8 a few months back. The attachments are in the hose itself and I think they are 15 metres long but out at the moment so can't check details sorry.

Just been to Mr T's and found the Finish Dishwasher Tablets - thanks to the OP.

Also spotted that there is a price update on Organic Minced Beef 500g - £2.87 or 2 for £5. There is still stock in my local priced up at £3.69 behind the yellow promotional barker, so if I've worked it out correctly it would cost £2.62 for 2 packs with DTD

Didn't get it as I found another Barbie car (having realised that my previous one was a golden ) and didn't want to have more than one going through, but I did scan it just to be certain

There is a phrase I've not heard for a while... A golden is where you are given your money back/refund/dtd and they do not mark your receipt so you can do it again (if SELs have been left) or get a refund. But please remember even if you get all your money back on a DTD you CAN STILL take it back and get a FULL REFUND.

I would never claim DTD a second time on an unmarked receipt - I'm sure that must be illegal; I'm just going to return it and get my money back. I've heard it said before that you are still entitled to return the product but I just wouldn't have the nerve to do that where it's obvious that I've had it for free.

There was a comment on the Barbie School thread that there is a Half Price Toy Sale coming up next week so these stickered bargains won't work then, but it will be a good excuse to return things which you paid full price for

I didn't know you could take the item back for a full refund if you had already got DTD, has anyone actually used that?

The phones I got last time are sooooo much better than the other phones I got, I thought it was being very cheeky and thought I could just give the other set of phones to School for their Christmas Raffle, I still have the box and haven't used them.

What do you guys think?

for me golden dtd is only when you have unmarked receipt and return the product for full refund. I'd never claim dtd second time and still keep the product... however eveyone to themselves

I recently tried to set up the bt single one with voicemail and it's faulty... it doesn't charge the battery and doesn't want to register(that might have something to do with trying it abroad)... I don't have the receipt anymore as it was marked but I'm gutted I have no use of the phone now I was thinking of taking my bank statement with me but it looks dodgy when the next transaction is a refund for the same amount from Tesco...

nevermind, I'll wait for the next phones dtd

going to hit couple of stores shortly... got some baby bargains two days ago(13GBP baby monitor and two bed things for 3GBP each - still long time until I'll have children but I like to think about it in advance LOL - my boyfriend looked tatally confused when I brought them home! ) I hope for some more bargains - maybe the Ipod dock for my bf that nikkilala found lately - that would make up for the baby stuff haha breadmaker would be nice too as I haven't got one for my new kitchen and moving next week and still in need of a hoover, gosh I need to pay lots of visits to mr T this and next week then

PS. thanks to everyone who helped me catch up with the things going on atm got some soup and shreddies coupons printed so will hopefully use them this afternoon... all barbies I found didn't have the stickers on so no luck there...

You have not "had it for free". You paid the full price. They gave you compensation for overcharging you in the first place. I verified this with HO just recently before taking back some phones. They guy on the desk looked at the receipt for a few moments then refunded all the amount without question.

Simple, just photocopy your bank statement and put a thick marker pen through every transaction other than the Tesco one. If they ask why say that the information on your statement is private. Don't forget to put the marker pen through your address and account number too but leave the last 4 digits in case they want to compare it with your card.
