Hi! What do you mean drop the first 0 from your mobile?
Does dropping the 0 when you call from your mobile make the call free using your mobile minutes?
Does this apply to all 0800 numbers?
TIA

hello!

sorry for the unrelated to topic post, but i HAVE to tell you this, its saved me about £40 this year (omg sounds like spam)

its not

this number will allow you to phone it, and enter the free (0800) number you wish to speak to.

its one of those numbers where if you have free minutes, it will deduct minutes from your allowance. Orange were charging me about 10p per minute to use freephone numbers on my mobile, but this just uses my free minutes up :beer:

call it, and you will hear "please enter the number you wish to dial"

just back from Tesco, bought 3 tins (about 400g size) of their own label chick pea/ butterbean selection on 3 for a £1, but all 3 went through at 48p each no discount, so 44p overcharged. Don't look for the label at Cheriton - I picked it up & kept it with me when I joined the long q at CS at 10mins to closing time.

On promotion end with the Starburst promotion, Maltesers 230g pack. Promotion price £1.29, scans at £2.70.

Look at the whole display as they often have many SELs and barkers for these, you only need to find one ...

Yesterday I bought some Oatibix which were displayed on special offer at £2 but scanned at £2.26. When I went to customer services the woman only gave me 26p back. When I asked about DTD she said that I should have mentioned it at the beginning! I don't think it is my job to point out Tesco policy!

That`s a new excuse, you should have got DTD as you say it is not your job to tell them their policy. Phone head office and complain about it and tell them policy is not being followed.

I bought 150g bag of Haribo Fantasy Mix which were hanging on a strip priced 60p. Went through the till as £1. Free sweets!!

Dunstable Tesco today had packs of strawberries (225g I think) for £1.75, and on the punnet it said 'Free Single Cream 150ml', and there was a chiller cabinet right next to them full of single cream pots. But on a big yellow sign on the strawberry shelf it said 'Buy stawberries (225g) and get free, Double cream, single cream or whipping cream 125ml/150ml'.
I had a feeling it wasn't going to work, so I took a picture of the big label, and got myself a pot of double cream 150ml.
Sure enough, till didn't take it off, so went to CS and although she took ages going off, then coming back again she did give me my DTD without me having to ask.
Marvellous strawberries and cream for about £1.20 ish :j
