    No as in not having to go round the store looking for the code then going to the warehouse. You know they're going to be sold out when England win. :D

  • I feel a bit of a traitor pointing this out but someone told me this morning we've not beaten Sweden since 1966. No idea if it's true but if it is... yumm meatballs :D

    If its a draw they should run both offers at the same time...but i am guessing most ppl would go for the chairs!

    Sorry :o I see what you mean. Go today and check out where the chairs are, or ask a member of staff where they're likely to be put out tomorrow?

  • i think that even if england do win all the chairs will go within a few seconds of opening, even if I knew nothing about the offer and just happened to be there and saw chairs for 1p i'd pick six just for the sake of it so i don't think you're likely to get any unless you're there for bang on opening. if only there was some secret password for people that know abou the offer, or maybe they won't be advertising it instore and it will just knock it off at the checkout. I can't imagine there being more than about 20 per store, just going on the size of the warehouse compartments for each item. Still a great post though.
    It's definitely not definately!

    I'm sure the number of chairs in store will be very limited.

    At least if England lose then the consolation will be dinner at Ikea, unless they run out of Meatballs as well!.

    As it says 1 portion per person, does this mean that me, my wife and my daughter will have to pay separately? I can see us all standing in line holding a plate of meatballs and a 1p coin!
