    worked still at milton keynes today 2 boxes of black pairs size 6-9 1 box 30 denier size 2-4 £12.99 each, 3x mint flosser on 3 for 2 at 2.99 had a coupon for 100 pts on flossers (actually had 2 printed but wld only except 1 shame) so total £7.99 and 160 advantage points which was a bonus as I actually went in to get the dental floss whether was on offer or not. Now I can put the socks away for our flights to orlando I have just booked with our airmiles but I bet I forget where I put them after all we are not going till next May.
    I always put holiday stuff in the suitcases.

    Just bumping for all the people who work all week. I'm not sure if it's still working though.
  • Worked today in dartford
  • Definitely worked today. Assistant actually knew about it and said management were aware too. Only problem was there wasn't much choice left on sizes.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    Got it in Livingston yesterday for £1.01. I've no idea why but maybe something to do with my over 60 discount ? The assistant was having none of it and called over another assistant who said it was something to do with my £2 hair voucher !! She tried again and said this can't be correct they are £12.99 each. I said yes it is correct so she hummed and haaed for ages while the queue built up then let me have them. I feel if it wasn't saturday and busy I wouldn't have got them. Maybe I didn't have enough other things in my basket to hide the fact. Well pleased though.

    Still worked yesterday. I bought 3 pairs with something else and it came to £5.98. The SA did a double take and started looking like she was going to call someone and started saying it looked like a mistake and saying oh you've got buy three for two etc.. I said could I please pay and go because I was in a hurry and late for an appointment and I paid and went quickly. To be honest If she'd made a fuss I would have just walked cos I wasn't that bothered about buying them.
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)

    Thanks to the original post! worked for me yesterday(Sunday) in Weston-s-Mare's Worle branch - The Sa looked slightly panicked when £2.01 came up and went to get assistance but couldn't find anyone -so let me have them at that price - Ideal for my 11 hour flight to India in March!:j

    This was working on Saturday for me too and for my friend in Pinner. I was served by a 'Saturday Girl'- explained I only wanted to buy them if a strange price appeared, and it did! She just laughed and didn't query it. I have e-mailed or phoned all my friends who go long haul and some are trying it today!
    Actually I have found the socks are very useful if you are on your feet for a long day such as at an exhibition.
    This must be bargain of the year!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

  • Thanks for posting this offer :D

    Still working at Gemini Warrington this afternoon. Was really quiet in there and the 3 SA were just sat chatting (was sure one of them was going to say something). Was buying a few other bits for my hol so went completely unnoticed :D Left the shop stupidly quick like I'd been a thief or something :p:rotfl:
