    I can feel a family challenge coming on vis a vis Woolie's pic n mix cups.

    We have never been that welcome in our local Pizza Hut since the last family challenge of a similar nature.


    P.S. think "wall" of cucumber slices and tomatoes in pocket

    if you look at the bottom of the containers you will see they are NOT empty.

    You can still use the bags which they still weigh, but you can also buy cups to fill (small approx burger king medium drink cup and large approx large burger king drink cup) which are a fixed price. Just a tip though, they put the lid on for you at the till and if they can't get it on they make you take some sweets out! So no balancing!

    I buy these all the time and in our woollies they dont put the lid on for you, I aways do it myself and squeeze as much as I can in the cup, they have never taken any sweets out either.
    I luv freebies

    If you're a cheeky git then you could do what we do.

    If your cup's spilling over with sweets then just munch some of them in the queue while you're waiting!! Tru value for money!!

    now thats a good idea,

    In response to sjpkgp, I also have been banned from a Pizza Hut (Worthing) for "abuse of the salad bar".

    Same trick, wall of cucumber slices, but I didn't pocket the tomatos as that would be against our self imposed rules. Did find that with a top layer of grated carrot on the salad tower and liberal use of their blue cheese sauce as adhesive you could get the tomatos to in indent and "stick".

    I think what got their goat was not the inital salad construction, just the fact we did it 3 weeks in a row, and each time failed to eat all of the salad we'd accumulated.

    We have a Woolies, round the corner from our UCI cinema ( Norwich ) once we got a 2.99 cup and crammed (weighed at the till by assistant) 4.89 in there, when we got to UCI I weighed it on their scales that they have available and it came to 9.46. That I would say was a bargain. TIP: the squidgy sweets will cram better, buy less chocolates as the are too solid.

    They also said it was ok without a lid, and once she said it was fine for me to hold the lid on!?!?
