Just had a bad experience at Watford Extra, until this morning id never tried looking for the 1p stuff but saw this thread yesterday so gave it a go..

I found the 1p boxes of Roses, went to self checkout, scanned them, was half way through paying then heard someone shouting at the top of there voice "STOP STOP STOP YOU CANT DO THAT" I turn around and there's a manager and a security guard coming over to me (half the store was staring at me) and im totally bewildered as to what the hells going on. This so called manager then went on to tell me that they cant sell items for 1p. I respond by saying why are they on the shelf then, he wouldn't answer..

Anyway he cancels the transaction. By this point im fuming not because he cancelled the sale but because of the way he spoke to me and embarrassed me infront of everyone leaving and coming into the store..

Could someone point me in the right direction of making a formal complaint.. I was made to feel like I was a shoplifter. dread to think of what other shoppers thought...

That's extreme even for Tesco you should definitely have an apology from Tesco and a proper explanation of why the products are still on the shelf if it is important enough for a manager to shout at a customer in store.

Managed to get the beer glitch this morning(24 packs:beer:) which will go nicely with the peanuts I got yesterday. No time today to focus on 1p things but back on the hunt for the jugs tomorrow. Just off out for dinner tonight for the first time with my tastecard.:)

Checked Ashford (Middlesex) last night - No 1p items (did get 1 bag of Truffles a week back tho).

Popped into Dukes Green, Feltham this morning and managed 9 boxes of Roses but nothing else about.

Shame would have liked some sweetcorn for the kids.

Also on a + note - did get 2 x Mega Blocks @ the weekend from Staines Homeplus. Got offered Difference, pointed to board, one 2 second phone call later £60 DTD

Just been to a Tesco Homeplus store, excitedly saw the after 8's, so asked a guy with a scanner to check the price, he looked shocked as they showed 1p, he asked where they were, I took him over and he was happy for me to take the tray full, then I noticed the Elizabeth Shaw chocs, he scanned them and again 1p, ooo excited, he said he would have to take them off the shelf but let me take half of the chocs to till before he informed supervisor...but NOOOOO they all went through self checkout at full price, dont know what happened there!!!!

But nice SA to let me try to buy them first anyway.

Huntingdon Tesco: About 15ish Roses and a tray of Chilli Nuts left at about 18:00 this evening. No sweetcorn, harpic, other chocolates etc. And there are only 12 packs of Coke (Not 12 + 6 extra) there. Hopefully save someone a trip.

I did managed ONE of the Truffles about 2 weeks back tho lol.

Have you tried the normal Feltham one (not Dukes Green?)

whilst out searching out 1p bargains, I came across these:



There was actually a big gap and no SEL where they should be, which is a good indicator that theres something to be had.
Next to the gap was the 400g version at £9!
so based on the tip on here I looked up and spotted 3 complete sealed boxes of 12x 200g ones on the stock shelf above, I got one box down, opened it and took one to price scanner and it scanned at 49p, so I returned and picked up all the others.

Barcode: 5010204319537

36 boxes for £17.64. Thats a few presents for school and Christmas sorted!

I only saw these stocked in a very large extra ( either sizes )

HTHs

( and I dont even like Chocolate! but my wife does!)

Apologies, not sure how to make that a bit smaller!

Oh no! Not more chocolate! These look very nice

Would you mind sharing the use by date on your box? Give me an idea weather they are worth getting for xmas presents!
