T**co ' Manager's special '

At my local Mr T's this morning there were plastic containers full of odds and sods......soft brown sugar 70p, raisins ( a big ish bag ) 80p, E-cover wash powder ( big box ) £2.00 and Te**o's own tinned Ratatouille £2.00 ( which I don't think is a bargain at all, you could make a huge pot of that for less! )

Anyway it may be worth checking your local ones to see if there is anything that you need/want.

    It is all the stuff that has been removed from sale due to the re arrangement happening, or about to happen, in the store. Alot of times they are not much cheaper than they were before.

    I should have price checked the Ratatouille on the shelf to compare it, some of the stuff they put in there aren't much of a bargain are they?

    BTW this was in Trent-Vale T**co, Stoke-On-Trent.

    £2 for one can? This can't have been a normal size can, surely?

    I bought this today in my local Tesco:

    standard 390g can and it was only 48p (not on special offer.)

    That was the exact can, the same size as baked beans! Honestly I thought that there must be a pricing error but all the cans had the same ' Manager special ' £2.00 sticker on.

    I may go back in an hour before picking up the children and get CS to check it.

    Not sure what you would get CS to check if the can is priced at £2.00. It is up to you if you buy it at that price.

    It might be that your store is stopping stocking it and they are just clearing them out, usual for Manager's Special, so it might not be on the shelf anymore. That is how it works at our store.
