    If you cannot find the 45p Value variety packs look out for the Tesco Variey pack of 12 in blue packaging, these are only 44p.
    Not quite as good bargain but a better quality. DD is moaning how the value ones don't have much flavour but I quite like them as they are not overpowering. HTHs
    I'd advise giving the more expenisve ones a try - the value ones are a bit rank tbh and only I will eat them in my house. Three packs already rejected by children and in the bin :(. Not such a bargain after all!! Still going strong on the tissues though! loads of the 25p ones at my local. SEL says £2.20 ish :eek: - for tissues you blow your nose on :eek::eek:

    The value ones remind me a bit of any Salt and Shake variety without using the little blue salt packet, as I love eating these like this I don't mind the value ones as they have a hint of flavour, in other words they are very bland. Definitely not for those who like a bit more of a flavour kick in their crisps. :D

    Thanks for all the new finds nikkilala & others. I've added them to the list.

    I managed to find two toy story mini eggs today and was almost refused at the till. I also had some 75p razors and they were checked too... luckily I was able to buy everything. Good job as I had a £3 of £20 and a £19 ish DTD voucher and had calculated the total to be about 20p over :).

    Also popped back in for a £4 meal deal.

    Does everyone see the list ok...without any google login? I went to a new Mr T today and tried to access the list on my phone and it asked me to login.

    I've added a few > 1p items but maybe they could do with their own list.

    i remember people reporting that the caperberries were no longer working....

    .....bought 6 jars about an hour ago for 6p. so it must be a store specific thing?

    Are you sure it said "2010"??? Surely that should have been removed long ago..take it back they shouldn't be selling stock so out of date even if it is tinned..:eek: should they??

    i'm not sure about the law on this....but aren't the items 'best before'. i.e.they are best eaten before xx/xx/xxxx, but you can still eat them after this date and they'll probably be fine?

    i bought a few packs of the dormen nuts the other day, best before was 07/05/2011. i'm happy for tesco to sell 'em!

    :D

    Yes but it was a "sell by" date so surely it should have been taken off or marked as "out of date" .
