This was mentioned in the Lenor Conditioner thread by 'thelurch', but doesn't seem to have a thread of its own so here goes.

In Tesco they sell packs of 5 x 1st class postage paid envelopes for £3.00, 60p per envelope

Yesterday (3rd June) they were scanning at 75p for the 5 pack, which is 15p for one 1st class postage paid envelope.

They are situated in the stationery aisle, near the envelopes on a hanging strip.

If its on HDUK or any other website, credit where its due.:D

    Popped into my local yesterday for a couple of bits. Didn't expect to find any as this was posted a few days ago. I actually found some hanging there and bought the lot. Thanks to whoever originally posted this.

    Good spot, although, as a better Moneysaving suggestion, just help yourself to the stationary cupboard at work ;) (only joking of course...)

    Is that as opposed to the moving cupboards, then?

    The whole point is that it includes the cost of a first class stamp, which costs more than 15p anyway. Most stationery cupboards at the places I've worked don't include stamps, as most businesses use franking machines not stamps.
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    Whereabouts would these be? I have just been to Tesco at Irlam to look for them in the stationery aisle and couldn't see anything like it.

    They have these in Salisbury (out of town) Store - I bought 2 packets today as there were only 5 left so didn't want to be greedy! In the stationary aisle hung up. HTH.

    I had thought these envelopes had already been listed on a thread on here when I mentioned them the other day in the lenor thread, but it was pts where I saw it.

    Hey Guys - I happened to pop into Tesco Watford this afternoon, and really didn't expect there to be any of these left so didn't go looking for them. Imagine my surprise as I was browsing down the laundry aisle and found about 30 of them hanging by the comfort....I only bought 5 to leave some for others, so if you are in the Watford area, look on the laundry aisle right by the comfort and they are hanging there. They scanned at 75p even though the label says £3.60...Bargain!!!!
    I always seem to get these bargains when i am not looking....guaranteed if I went looking on purpose I prob would never have ventured down the laundry aisle and never seen them there......hehehe
    Good Luck - hope some people get some - great bargain...
