    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 info - found 3 today!! Bought 2 first, then when back to get another with some other shopping. The young boy I chose noticed the mouse was 1p and queried the price with the supervisor. I said, oh, I thought it was £10. She went away to check and came back and said it is 1p and it's the last one, so I got it for 1p, thought for sure they weren't going to sell it to me! So not all older lady supervisors are trouts!!

    Also picked up two mice but got caught at the checkout - the cashier said they were return stock and were not meant to be on the shelf at all :mad:
    Oh well, I might try another day[/QUOTE]


    oh bad luck. :(


    lets hope we or others find some new 1ps this week to report! :)

    I stood frustrated as a lady got to the freezer section before me and cleared all the choc and strawberry puddings into her trolly.
    She looked up, and must have seen me staring ..... then said.
    "Are you a friend of Martins?":money:
    It took me a moment to catch onto what she meant.
    When I said yes, she shared her haul with me !:T

    I would like to think this was Karma, as I am thoughtful myself this way.
    When I am chasing sell-by-date reductions, I will turn around and offer items to people who may not be able to get 'stuck-in' due to some "vultures" who has positioned themselves and their trolley at the front hogging all the bargains.

    Of course we all like a bargain, and all like to stock up.... but I sometimes think some people just grab everything without even bothering to think if they have room in their fridge or freezer.

    ....... now harpic, oxo and Fairy will never go 'off'... so I have quite a collection of those;)

    Is it wrong that so far I have 56 of these and I'm a single man?

    :D

    Time for a car boot perhaps?

    has anyone got pics of there photocopies of dove coupons, mine were rejected as direction to retailer wasnt clear enough and was embarrasing, my printer not good enough was very annoying as was loads in the store, what a waste of time me printing them, they seamed think were photocopies, looks like ill be missing out as my printer wont print them right. The manager made me feel like theif or conman even though they legitimate, it sounded like they didnt like pronted coupons in general :(


    can some of them be awkward anyway even if the coupons are crystal clear, i new to coupons and felt really embarrest and awkard, dunno why dove says print them if stores dont appear to like printed ones, guess i need a decent printer, i haye coupons feels so stressful and hassle and approavals etc not like 1p and low price stuff

    We were in Mr T's Ayr yesterday - who have removed the Roses, Harpic and chilli nuts lol! I had been in the day before and got 12 roses and 3 chilli nuts - so they mustve caught on lol!
    Will try Kilmarnock tonight and see if theres anything left - anyone know where the price checker is in that store?

    p.s. I checked the price of the chocs and they do scan at £5 and £9 - I asked someone that was reducing things to check the price on her wee gun thingy - saved the embarrasment of cancelling a ss transaction (the tricks that Ive learned working in another supermarket lol!)

    :)
