    Recently moved and my nearest Tesco is over half an hour away so haven't been able to get any 1p items but was passing Peterborough Extra today so popped in and low n behold there sat 18 boxes of Roses, took them to self scan but till came up Item Not Recognised please wait for assistance then SA came and told me to go to basket till and they would help me which i did, she scanned one and then told previous SA that it said EPW (whatever that means) and he asked if i knew how much they were - i said the SEL said £1.32 but all other stores had been selling them for 1p to which he said he would need to get his manager (and i quote) "but i'm sure we can do a deal with you"!!! Manager came along and then advised they could not sell them to me as they were EPW - I advised that if they couldnt sell them to me why were they on the shelf and he had no reply, so i asked if he would then be selling them to staff to which he again did not reply.
    If anyone is passing this store there was a brand new unopened box sitting on the top shelf so might be worth another go if the shelf has been restocked :-(((

    Hi Everyone, I have never posted before I went to Tesco In Northampton about 3.30pm and I wanted a new mouse for my pc. I found the Microsoft 3500 mouse in purple and when I went to the till it was going through as just 1p.

    The barcode for the item is 85370217513 I would post a picture of the receipt and a picture of the product but not sure how to do this.

    I picked up three and I am sure there are more to be found.


    Thanks for this, brilliant:T Just managed to get 3 but not going to say where as don't want to get the SA in trouble! and they were the last 3:) Went in and found them straight away, then the dilemma, as someone else said they have a security tag. Thought I would definately get pulled with them going through a normal till, so put them in one go through the self service along with a few other bits so it was'nt quiteso obvious. Scan them first, then the rest of the shopping. Then up comes the message that you need assistance as a tagged item. Called the SA, my favourite type of SA, a young male teenager obviously on parttime weekend work whose was extremely busy chatting to his mate! No prices at that stage on the screen, he presses a few buttons to confirm I'd scanned them and then says "What that can't be right 1p?" I said "Yep they are going through as a penny that's why I've got them,bargain are'nt they? There are still few left if you want to grab one yourself but make sure it's the purple one" Ok he said I'll nip over and get myself one in a minute, all excited! I quickly paid and left feeling sightly guilty at my tactics as I had the lot and their were definately none left!!!;)
