can i just say a hello :wave: im from norwich also but dont have the best of luck finding any 1p bargains, nice to no someone else on here is looking for them and having luck :j

Hi Toni :jNice to know i'm not alone here. :T
I'm sort of piggy in the middle between the 2 T's, but i do have the advantage of being almost on the doorstep of a Lidls so do well with the weekend deals! Personally I think Mr T is pretty poor in Norwich, but I have enjoyed a little luck over the last few weeks..... my first was the express wrapping paper, ended up with about 13 pink and 7 blue, but no others.....
I've managed about 30 roses from a number of visits, if there had been a couple of boxes i've only taken one box, but had a few visits with only 3 or 4 remaining. Managed to send my nervous wreck of a sis through the SS with 9 the other day, prizes for darts raffles. It was fun watching her sweat. :rotfl: I have 7 rimblocks, about 8 tins of the sweetcorn although could have had loads more, and I picked up 5 of the oils during the 38p? glitch. Also had 2 Finest choc pudding and 4 strawberry ones...... Oh, nearly forgot, managed to do 4 sets of the stripped glasses at Sprowston on seperate trips, other store had removed labels. Was cringing when I has the same CSA refunding me 3 seperate times. :eek:

I have given my dad a number of shopping lessons, and have also pre warned him that there is a chance someone may tap him on the shoulder and ask him if he's a 'friend of Martins?' :money:;)
Hope you have managed a few things too, I'll keep an eye out for you. :beer:

Oh, and when I went to Danestone today to look for the mouse I took my receipt that detailed 45 boxes of Roses from there to collect the 2 clubcard points for using my own bags. The trout on CS had a 5 minute rant at me about it. I told her there was an article in the newspaper at the end of last year and that one of the top guys from Tesco said it isn't a glitch and that they are genuine buys but she wasn't wearing it. I'm tempted to print it off and give it to her the next time I see her.

You should have seen her face though when I told her I had got over 100 boxes of Roses from 3 stores over 4 days. I thought she was going to explode!

Hi, just wanted to share couple of things today, Firstly on my first trip to mr t's today, i was in the chocolate isle looking at the roses, i had read this morning they were back up to a pound but i'm sure i'm not the only one who has to check just incase, as i crouched down to pick some up and i heard a voice behind me say, " are you a friend of Martin's?" i turned round and a man just smiled at me and put his roses back on the shelf and said, "they're scanning at a pound, i wouldn't bother" and off he went! So thanks to you who ever you were! Then this evening after putting kids to bed, and waiting fir my ocado delivery:D, i read about the mint thins. At that point my dad popped in for some coffee so i used the opportunity to nip to my local express. There was a shelf full so i took 2 to ss and yes they were a penny. So i went back for some more. The shop was really quiet so i loitered for while for other customers to go to till to distract sa. Finally got to ss and there was an old woman next to me who was just staring at my screen, i kept going scanning as quickly as i could, then this woman says, in the loudest possible voice EVER, "are those on special or something?" The term if looks could kill comes to mind about now. "yes, but they dont know" i mutter quietly. "Where are they? on the shelf?" she bellows. At this point the sa looks over. I had 4 left in my basket so i just said to the loud woman, there's none left, here take these, i put my ten pence piece in and shot out the door. Thanks to OP and everyone else on here

Does that sort of behavior help anyone though seriously??
All for 2 CC points!!!!
Me thinks you went on purpose to wind them up-trouble is I personally feel it makes the trout meaner and less likely to allow the 1p sales?
Doesn't hurt to be friendly

Actually I had a few receipts I needed the points adding for. I didn't realise the Roses receipt was in among them. When she unfolded them and I saw it I thought "oh !!!!!!".
