    but why did you have to buy so many? why not leave some for other people?

    I actually only bought 8, which is not that many really. And there were still loads left on the shelf when I left. More than the quantity I had bought.

    And if someone get's there before me (and buys a load!) well, good for them. I missed the deal. I remember the papmers wipes and the lady was leaving the spot where they were sold with a trolley full (and I mean full). There were none left for me. I felt a bit peeved, but I had just been beaten to it, plain and simple.

    The thing I find most annoying is when people remove the vouchers from the product without even buying the item. Now that is what I consider wrong (theft?). It happened when the Fairy deal was on too. Bottles on the shelf where the voucher had clearly been removed as they were in the middle of the batch.

    I am surprised you managed to get 8 as in most Tesco's now there is a limit of 6 of any one item you can buy. I managed to get 1 yesterday ( there were more left) and am going back today for one for my Mum. Happy shopping. also got the Daz deal

    I got one lot and went back for a
    second lot the superviser spotted
    me and asked how I was doing this
    I showed him and he said that was
    fine as he said its a legitimate
    purchase and had no problem with
    me or anyone else doing this.

    Was in tesco tonight, noticed the offer, but noticed that we dont use rinse aid in our dishwasher.

    We buy it already within the 5-in-1 tablets, so a waste of £2.50 per bottle.


    Similar to salt, salt light is always on. Its within the tablets.

    I think you will find that if the salt light is on you need to fill it with salt. A dishwasher engineer told me that it is very important to fill up the salt and rinse aid as it can damage the machine. I got 2 more lots of the tablets this evening but gave the last of them to an old couple who were comparing prices. They were very pleased

    But as the 5-1 tablets already contain salt and rinse aid then unless you live in a 'very' hard water area you don't need to add extra salt...
