    Wohooo!!!! My first 1p find at tesco's Westwood, Thanet this afternoon. Emptied the self 17 bags of after eight mints!

  • Hi, I hope someone can help i'm just on my way to Tesco at Stockton or Ingleby Barwick. Just wondered if there was an easy way to check for these 1p products? I did see someone mention red and blue dots on some products, is this right? Or is it just a case of looking at every single product and checking it on the scanners in store?
    Thanks in advance for any help.x
  • This is the first I am seeing this thread so didn't know it was out there but I was in Tesco last week doing a little shopping (as you do) I found one of those receipts (spend £3 on cards and wrapping paper get 75extra points) on the floor and I thought i'll have some of that I picked up a few clearance bits mostly 50p and 70p wrapping papers and one of them came up for a penny; I was well chuffed. I thought the cashier was gonna give me grief - she protested but no one was listening so she just put it through. Plus got my extra points too Wey Hey!!!!!:j

    I hope all of you email a full complaint of your poor treatment by staff, no-one deserves to be humiliated while simply shopping. Suggest they either retrain staff in customer service or employ stff with manners! I hope you all get grovelling apologies.

    Also, hello to fellow mse's who were at thurrock, i know you were there by the amount of socks, gold and black sequin bags and other bits left by the self scanner !
    A happy wife, and mum to 2 lovely little boys :j

    They have definately acted on this today. Found the coffee went to self service and it was £3.48 asked the sa to cancel it. She pointed to a basket of coffee that were to be reshelved and said everyone had been having them voided today. She said they had a huge box of stuff customers thought they could get for 1p as well . No cheap chocci and coffeee for me.
    Hope Martin isn't going to include this tomorrow in his Daybreak slot as he will definately be making a fool of himself. Knew they often put clothes down to 1p before discontinuing as had the unfortunate experience of returning unwanted gift and been offered 1p for it without receipt. T
  • went to our local tesco store in south wales (TROSTRE TESCO) & they would NOT allow it!!!!!! :(
