    I got my mine on 4 seperate trips some morning some afternoons, seams random. I bought 18 each time. That was tomato I bought mainly just them and 3 other things i large mineral water and loo roll which i needed and half price tikka masala meat lol. Tesco try to temp me buying stuff but i refrained :)

    i wouldnt mind the brown sauce to find but isnt exactly something you can use a lot off lol

    I think you could probably use it in cooking, I've used brown sauce and tomato sauce in bland recipes before to quickly add a burst of flavour, always use it in corned beef ash!

    Not very hot at all - just adds a bit of flavour - we use in spag-bol etc

    Does anyone know if 1p items get re-stocked? I took all the tomatoes from my local so will it be worth checking again or will they not put any more out?

    Depends. Items end up being at 1p to clear stock. If there happens to be an excess of stock, then you may find more appearing. But usually it will be a case of 'when it's gone it's gone'.

    All these items can be store specific - won't always be all stores.

    If they scanned at 29p, then they have indeed be reduced, but not down to 1p (obviously)
    i have come home after paying 0.29p for the chili toms feeling really ripped of

    I think that's a bit unfair - Tesco are not advertising these products at 1p - and by no means should anyone rely on them being that price - I would advise against even making the journey if the sole purpose of your visit is to find these items.

    Then, you won't think of it as being ripped off if you don't get them, but will come away with a bargain if you do.

    ah, fair enough, my bad - misunderstood. Some people do take these sort of things WAY too seriously though! It should just be a bit of fun, chance for a real bargain.

    Could I please politely point out that this thread has been hijacked in the past 24 hours by people holding conversations, discussing ideas and generally wasting the time of MSErs who simply want to know if any new 1p items have been posted.
