Hi All,

I have had a great few weeks, free chicken, a book, pork chops, pork leg, turkey mince. Today however the CS girl said you keep having this problem don't you and had a very hush hush phone call and then refunded my money. Do you think I need to keep a low profile

Its easy to think of a response afterwards but you should have said "Actually its YOU who keeps having the problem....."

Happy to post some handy hints for more regular R&Rers if the community demands such from the Dude...............

I have expanded my 'territory' to about 12 Tescos, all within reaonable driving distance. Means you have to take into account fuel but less chance of becoming 'notorious'! I use the store locator on the Tesco website, then copy and paste the postcodes into the route planner at https://www.theaa.com so I can work out which one to visit first. I then use my sat nav to find the stores and pick them off one by one. It's all planned like a military operation. LOL! I also tend to make sure I spend at least £50 at one of the ones with a petrol station so I can qualify for the 5p/litre discount (remember, if you do it correctly a large proprtion of this £50 is going back in your pocket,never been asked to relinquish my 5p discount code yet!). That way, some of the fuel used is covered by the discount obtained in filling up (the Tesco petrol stations I've used ahve all been considerably cheaper than my local garage even before the 5p discount so it's all good)..

Thanks for the heads up on that. In that case, I will just have to get more mispriced items in my trolley to make up the 'shortfall'. :beer:

Classics, which GPS system do you use?

I have tomtom on my PDA and I have a set of POI for tesco stores, I just ask it to navigate to a POI, ask for a tesco and it tells me all the nearest stores to me so no matter where I am in the country I can find a tesco.

Do you use it for anything else?
