    They were putting labels up saying COMFORT is BUY ONE GET ONE FREE. That might be changing tomorrow, so go and fill your boots. Managed to get 1 today.

    The little tinkers....seems like they are waiting to see what peeps buy and then acting on it...I got 2 of the 1.5 ltr Comfort Pure this morning £3.33 each and £2 at Asda....hopefully will get £5.32 back making 2 for £1.34....if my maths is correct....

    Did my first DTD...carefully planned my spend to just over £30 so that I could use the Co-op MOC and when I got to the till the SA said '£28' :eek::eek::eek: I asked her to put through an extra Comfort to bring my total spend past £30 and she then started debating whether or not she could even take the bl**dy voucher. While she spoke to a supervisor I had to run back to the aisle and grab the extra Comfort :o Quite a big queue behind me.

    If i've calculated it right I should get £25 DTD for £28 shop. When I checked my receipt I was really annoyed with myself :mad: Bought 2 x Birdseye Sweetcorn (£1.75 T, £1 A) but I hadn't realised they were 2 for £2 :( So I missed out on getting them for 25p...

    Also had a struggle because the Huggies wipes and velvet tissues which I had banked on for my £30 total spend were both 'missing' from the relevant shelves. Hmmm - convenient when they were free/profit to be made.

    Oooh they are bad, very bad! Lemsip tablets went from £4.30ish to £2.00 overnight, and I know some people got stung. Also, the After Eights changed price too. I think some people don't check before they go out, buy lots, and then think !!!!!! when they get the DTD email.

    Think that T's have drafted in a workforce to work the night shift on a bonus system to find as many whopping dtd's as they can :D and spoil our fun. Also the delaying tactics as with the price checker being down is meant to put peeps off

    The cheek of it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope somebody from A's is watching all the fun and cottons on that they could run rings round T's by keep changing their prices.

    What fun we could all have then:T:T:T:T

    SEL is shelf edge label
    OOD is out of date

    Basically the label is still showing the offer price which has finished. So you buy as many as you can, then when you have paid notice that they have charged you more than it said it should be and you then stomp off to CS and complain about how you bought so many cos it was showing as cheap and you've been charged more:mad::rotfl::rotfl: . Then you get loadsa dtd and then get dtd again when you do your receipt dtd check;)

    I did this on 5 bottles of baileys when it was showing at £16 ish and was scanning at £19 and got paid out both at cs and with a dtd voucher. I think it worked out that they paid me £4 to take each bottle away.:j:j
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)
