    GE Halogen screw in light bulb 30w with thin screw (the one which looks like a regular old style bulb but have a little halogen bulb inside). Yellow SEL reduced from £2.75 to £1.37, scanned at £2.50 and I'd bought two. Charged £5, refunded DtD £4.52 :).

    The policy still stands as far as I'm aware. Behind customer services there's a blue sign, near the bottom there's the bit titled "if things don't add up". I don't see how they can argue with that really.

    I've found recently I've had to ask for my DtD though, only being offered the difference back each time.

    Sorry for being dumb....but do you note down the price of items you buy and then compare them with receipt?
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I got the picnic plates in the Reading West store for £1 per set-although it took two managers and 15 minutes to get it! I didn't have to argue though as they seemed to have no idea on whether it was a misprint of the price or the item.

    This wasn't working in my store, the 4 princes cans in 'spring water' were clearly SEL'd as £5.39.:(
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)
    It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight. Target 13 lbs weight loss. 18.5lbs lost 2nd May - 28 September.
