An idea to appeal to your charitable nature.........

Everyone will be familiar with the Farepak Hampers collapse, and the loss of Xmas savings of all of their customers. Many of these people have lost all hope of enjoying their Xmas and kids will not have presents.

You may have heard of the appeal that is now ongoing.

My idea to help these guys is to donate my next r and r to the appeal. This might be a donation of the item, or more probably the amount I can sell the r and r for.

Why don't you others try it because I think that sending the money to a good cause will make you feel good when getting your refund and you can be charitable without it costing you.

If you don't want to support this appeal, what about Children in Need next week?

and the big headline TESCOS donates £2m to charity through overcharging it is a good idea i thought about it last week
only thought about it though

Nice idea (the Farepak bit).

Way thats been handled/allowed to happen makes Tesco look like the patron Saint of retailing.

Tesco have donated £250k already

What I will say is that I wish Tesco would just stop selling XBOX's because they are totally crap at it, and should just stick to what they no, overcharging people on everyday items so that no one notices:

EXCEPT US

Gotta laugh at that one!

In what way does this affect my suggestion?

Hmmm...do I go for this one?

Bought petrol at 8x.9, had voucher which reduced it by x per litre. Calc (price per litre x 36.6x litres) says I should have paid £28.8x, when I paid £28.9x.

Does this count as an overcharge? And as it's petrol, does it count as a RnR?

No. And no.
