Jeaus those free easter eggs dont break easy do they? Just in from the pub and had to smash the bleedin thing 4 times against the wall before it gave in, do you think that the smashing will count on the weight watchers plan?
BTW the spelling mistake was deliberate : )

Thanks for your reply.

So am I better off just buying the concerned items or to just mix it in with my normal shopping? Or buy the concerned items and add a few items, so it doesn't look too obvious?

Don't mix with your normal shopping unless you have already confirmed that those items are not cheaper at tesco.

Whilst the receipts will show a comparison of each item, the double difference is applied to the whole basket so if you buy a mixture of more expensive and cheaper items you could end up with nothing back

I dunno but I reckon "walking round tesco in circles" needs to have activity points calculated!

Nah, I'd just laugh. And then set my psychotic cat on you!

My cat is rubbish at catching things. This evening, I wondered where he was as he hadn't ventured to the back door. So I opened the front door and he was messing around with a little field mouse.

So I picked him up and carried him in. He didn't like this and was a bit angry so he was locked in the kitchen to calm down. I went outside ten minutes later, and mouse was playing dead but I could see him breathing. Half an hour later I went for another look and said mouse had gone.

Of course, he could have been carried away by another cat, but the way he was playing dead I think Biscuit, Charlie, Bubble, Squeak or any of the others would have done well to notice him. I think I saved his life and he'll probably repay me by chewing through some wires and setting fire to my house 0 but at least my conscience is clear.

Now, where were we. Oh yeah. Finish tablets in 54 packs - awesome! Buy those or you're an idiot!

Ha ha ha - You're not dim. I created the word just then.

Someone with a face and demeanour like a trout (ie. has an unhappy face, and when they talk to you looks even more unhappy) has high troutability. Someone with a happy face has high StaceySolomanability.

You get the idea.

Can anyone who has bought the whole fresh leg of lamb confirm what it looks like please. On the spreadsheet it is £8.99/kilo and the only ones I could see for that price are the large ones that cost between £20 and £25 and look like they are wrapped in shrinkwrap. Is this the right one for the DTD offer? I want to make sure before I buy as it's an expensive one to get if it's not right. I can never afford lamb so i really would like this hehe =O)

Scotsgirl, thankyou so much for the spreadsheets! Loving them, plus the way they are evolving and look different each day. I've saved so much so thanks to all on here. If it helps anyone else, I always download the spreadsheets then apply a Filter to row 4, I then use that to find the best DTD in column E and when I put my quantity into column G I put the filter on that, so that it only shows my choices and print that bit. Hope I'm not preaching to the converted!

Personally I preferred it when the titles were in the header rather than at the start of each section - makes it much easier to sort them. Still, very useful resource, and given I'm out of voucher allowance now guess it doesn't really matter :P

Even better than that... I've bought some pancake mix, some dishwasher tablets and a child's electric toothbrush.

Don't know about you guys, but I've been really enjoying the bemused look from the cashier scanning a toothbrush, cider and pancake mix!

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered somewhere else. I have read the first few posts, but I am not quite sure I completely understand yet. Do I at any point of this process need to deal with the CS at my local Tesco or not?

And is there a minimum spend for it to work or a minimum amount of items?

Thanks in advance.

If you're lucky/careful you can avoid them, but its not always possible. No minimum spend/items as far as I know.


Also, someone else mentioned about going for £10 vouchers when approaching the limit. Another advantage of this is that they can be done by the person on the self-service rather than having to fight CS!
