    Why be so greedy? Leave some for other people that live near! It's people like you that make these glitches noticed more!

    There are some times when I only need one - for instance, butter whilst on self-catering holiday in St Ives. That time, I approached an elderly gentlemen in the shop and said 'this is BOGOF. If I get two, would you like to take one of them as I only need one'. He waited for me outside the store - a small Somerfield.

    Just reading this post, already got 3 blocks of Ex Mat on the Buy 1 get 2 free offer so don't really need any more but I just wanted to say what a lovely thing for you to do Anna, I bet that he still remembers you doing this too. Well done you :T

  • Worked for me :) Found it by accident. When back for more but it flew off the shelves. Ended up with 6 blocks. Was hoping to get 8 - 10 as I estimated that would see us through until the sell by date. Will check if they re-stock tomorrow.

    If you tried to buy it at the tills, they were saying that the cheese wasn't even buy one get one free, even though it was clearly marked up as BOGOF on the shelves, and trying to sell them singly for £3.99 each.

    However at the self service they went through 2 for 51p :) I'd feel guilty, but the amount of times they have over charged me and I have had to go back and waste half an hour of my life sorting it out... or the self service tills eating change and Tesco staff refusing to sort it out... I just don't feel guilty.
    So so SO tired of being ripped off, and mislead
    Hope sharing saves some pain.
  • If anyone is/was feeling nervous about sneaking from the cheese aisle through to the self service checkout carrying unnaturally large volumes of cheese, without being spotted by hawk eyes members of staff, I found a pizza provides a perfect cheese disguise!

    The thin box and the width means they can sit snugly across the top of a basket whilst several cheeses can covertly travel underneath. I find the thin base pizzas to be the best, as they are a little bit wider which means they can sit perfectly at the top of the basket, ensuring maximum storage space underneath.
