It was 7 shops on the same till.

In one way I think, good for you if you can get away with it

BUT

I think you are plaing a high risk game there, and run the risk of an eagle eyed till supervisor seeing you hand over 7 vouchers, and refusing to take them.

Personally I feel guilty doing more than 1 shop in 1 store. Although I do sometimes do 2-3 if it's busy and the staff are nice, It makes me a bit jumpy that I might get 'caught'

yes, but you can't submit the receipt to gain another voucher.

Another good one is to go to the guys wearing their own clothes, i think they are shelf stackers who get called onto the tills when it's busy. They never ring for supervisor and don't even ask for old receipt, i just tell 'em to scan it and type in the amount.. Jobs a good 'un!

I only manage to get there once or twice a week hence the double shop, and i usually have my baby with me. I'll keep an eye out for you!

More likely though, new staff who are waiting for their uniform order.:D

People will do what they do. It's their conscience.

Not yours. You go your way, and let others go theirs.

I'll carry a red rose for the next week! I'm there every day, usually at about noon, but if the male supervisor does my receipt, I leave it an extra hour for the next day in the hope I don't see him - I think he's my biggest risk in terms of 'problems' occuring as I only ever go to this store.

I'll try that next time. Saying that, today I did go to a guy in his own clothes and he left the till unattended to get a supervisor! Perhaps I should have a sex change - do Tesco do these yet?

Let me know your shopping list for next time and I'll keep an eye out for you!

Low fat is correct, as long as the size is also right. Offhand, think it was 750g? SEL is £1.99. Very few of those in the Dolmio range

This is the one confirmed today, as you say it does say Low Fat on it

1 x DOLMIO ORIGINAL BOLOGNESE LIGHT 750G £ 1.99 £ 1.00

I wouldn't worry, whilst there are some horrific stories on these threads, all the stores I have mentioned have either been unknowledgable at worst, and downright helpful at best.

The worst I have had is to not know what to do with them, but have NEVER been sent to CS; on a very early occasion at Oldham, they saved the transaction and called a supervisor who recalled it at the adjacent till and put it though. They all seem to now know what to do and whilst the majority like to keep the old receipt, I have no issue with that practice.

Ive not been sent to CS yet thankfully. Nipped to Oldham after your post, but not lamb Its doing its best to stay out of my reach!

Evening all

Just thought I’d offer up an easy recipe for the king prawns that are dtd at the mo. Just had it and it was lush. I did this for just myself and I’m a pig, so you might need to adjust quantities for more than one.

Boil kettle to be prepared for the rice.

Fry half an onion in olive oil. Add fresh chopped chilli according to taste, crushed garlic, black pepper and ground sea salt. Add a papaya chopped up without seeds, then add a little more olive oil. When the papaya goes soft put the rice on the boil. Add the king prawns (I had half a bag) and the juice of a lemon to the papaya and then add coriander. Turn down the heat. When the rice and king prawns are done, serve.

Have to admit, the only ingredient I bought from Tesco was the prawns. :rotfl:
