28p Tesco own make facial wipes. 3 in the basket at the start of a shop, sometimes have to put one back, but they are fine, use them as hand wipes and tey are a good size pack for your handbag.

when i got in the car for my tesco's run earlier the gauge was below the bottom red line so had to go to the petrol station round the corner as no way would my car have got to tesco's & it was 5p more a litre there

Help please...I need some therapy!!
I had a nasty trout experience on Monday, and now I have really lost my nerve..
I went into store just to kill off a couple of vouchers..and suddenly found myself surrounded by a scholl of trouts, honestly it was like something out of a Jaws movie. They accused me of doing 'an usually suspious amount of dtd shops' over the weekend (ok, so I did a handful..), they then waved a bunch of vouchers at me, which they said were mine. I explained that I was doing additional shops for MIL & SIL who wanted to take part in the offer alongside me. They then had the cheek to say that I couldn't do this and that my eldery MIL had to physically come to the store to participate. Ok, I admit that I am perhaps pushing the 'spirit of the promotion' a little, but I found their attitude really quite nasty. The biggest trout relented and said that I could use my vouchers 'on this occasion'...(I think this was because she couldn't think of anything else to say). They all proceeded to walk back to their swamp, but not before one of them menacingly said that 'they were investigating this!!.....'. I was really quite offended by their attitude and part of me wants to give up completely as I don't need this kind of abuse.......but another part of me wants to really rip the !!! off Tesco!! Does anyone else feel the same?

On the Tesco receipts it says, "Visit https://www.tescocomments.com and tell us about your shopping trip"... maybe give em what for there? I can understand Tesco getting annoyed with people abusing the promotion, but you don't really seem to be doing that, and even if you were, they should have dealt with it better.

Anyone noticed your petrol / diesil going down a lot faster? We are using about 200% more each week lol

The cost of food on my credit card bill has too been replaced with all the extra petrol I'm putting in to do my shops.

POSSIBLE DEAL

1 x Box of Becks Beer (15x275ml bottles) - £12.19T £10.00A

2 for £16 in Asda making a £16.76DTD

That would be a great deal.

Worked for us last week :beer:

Mine is Amore yoghurts. They're so scrumptious I've had to suspend slimming world until dtd is over!

thats not good, hope you were a good MSE and put in the bare minimum before getting to Mr T and putting in a bit more.

I would suggest not filling your tank though I imagine with Mr M doing his fuel offer that Mr T will soon follow.

downside will be its a voucher for a £50 spend perhaps?

Small tins of Vaseline - I always have Vaseline within 1 metre of me... as a Lipbalm... so am merrily stocking up!!
