what did you get?

Beautiful Child book (or whatever it's called) and a mobile phone.

I've posted on the Misprices thread about it.

Chanced it. If you see the poster in question, the discount definitely will not come off any Virgin or Vodafone phone, as the offer is out of date (17/09/06). You've got to buy a £20 top up for phones over £50 and £10 for under £50 phones. The discount for under £50 phones is only £10, I think.

There are a lot of Tesco Express stores popping up all over the place - they are similar in size to Spars and sometimes are petrol forecourts etc. Does anyone know for sure if the same r&r policy still applies in there?

I doubt there'd be a CS desk in a tesco express store - does it just mean query it with the cashier?? I find the staff in Express stores much less helpful and friendly than in proper stores

As as been posted previously, the same rules apply. However, in my experience the prices are a lot more accurate. This is probably because only 1 or 2 people are responsible for pricing, rather than the vast numbers involved at regular and Extra stores.

So did you take the box to the checkout and ask for a £20 voucher too?

Might try this tomorrow if I see any posters about!

Yep. Took my shopping to the checkout and asked for a top up card at the same time. Checkout operator printed it off and handed it to me. You've got to buy the phone and the top up at the same time, in the same transaction.

can you get a refund on top up cards?

Not as far as I know. It's a printed out code on a piece of paper. But you get a free PAYG phone with your top up card, so what more do you want??!!

I just tried the Fairy dishwasher tabs.
I scanned the 45 packets
Original 45 scanning at £6.00
Original 30+50% free scanning at £3.39 (yes that is 45 tabs
yellow ones £8.xx the yellow ones were on another shelf below and there was no way I could have got away with it.

I did get some baked walkers

although what if it doesnt work and the discount is applied? is the R&R on the phone only, and not the bundle of the phone & voucher?
