Why can't Tesco make our lives easier by having a dedicated DTD isle, including a frozen and chilled section?

Yes I agree. With Sels set up by our spreadsheet team. And all tills are operated by 16 year old male students

And we can use multiple vouchers per shop

Who took all the Iams 3kg large dog food, racks of lamb, and topside beef from the Bishop Auckland store today?:eek: It properly messed up my shop, I was wandering round in circles for ages trying to figure out what to buy instead.

SPREADSHEET CHANGES PLEASE READ

Morning all

The team have been giving it some thought, and we need to make some changes to the spreadsheet. Yesterday, we received at least 400 updates, and every one of these takes time to process and update. There are only a few of us editing and we all have other commitments.

Given this, we are making the following changes:

There are now 3 tabs of data for you to look at. Hot deals, Low value DTDs, and unconfirmed hot DTDs (please ignore the others, I can't publish multiple tabs without publishing all)

1: Hot Deals - these are confirmed deals where you get back more than 50% of the Tesco price although there may be some which are lower if they are particularly good for that product. We will keep this as up to date as possible and add confirmed dates as they are reported to us. So please, continue to report CONFIRM, AMEND, DELETE or NEW deals on this tab

2: Low value DTD - those where you get back less than 50%. The only maintenance we will do on these deals is to add them and to delete them as they are reported to us. We won't double check the info on the Mr T/Mr A website, and we won't add confirm dates. So, please only report NEW or DELETE for these deals.

3: Unconfirmed hot deals - we will add these as they come in and will include a date added. If these get confirmed then they'll get moved to the HOT tab. Please report NEW, CONFIRM, AMEND or DELETES for these

Please ignore the other two tabs. These are for editors only and won't give you any useful info!

Other changes
We will no longer be providing download versions of the spreadsheet. This has to be done manually several times a day and we don't have time to keep doing it.

The VALUE column now shows the % of the Tesco price you get back


We appreciate some of you prefer the download version and that this removes some functionality, but we can't sustain the amount of work involved in maintaining the SS in its current format.

The SS should be available now at its usual location: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en&hl=en&key=0ArDxW2XgVnGjdEd6Q0IxMVVBbF84VjNZWUdOeEdjblE&output=html

If folk could keep this bumped up today it would be appreciated.

Your friendly neighbourhood spreadsheet team!

Bumping this for the evening crowd who might not want to read back this far!

I'm exactly the same. Ah, well, it is Easter, ANOTHER Easter Egg will go down nicely and won't hurt that much.

One hour later: It hurts. I never knew eating chocolate could cause physical pain.

Perhaps I should stop eating it in such vast quantities just because 'it was free'...

or set up a new shop called DTD with only DTD items.

Thanks. Any sane person will know the point I am making and it does not involve you literally 'indulging' me with a reply or replies.

By the way, actually, I do agree that too many smileys or multiple punctuation marks are not normal forum etiquette, we have to remember that this forum is a bit different. All the tesco stuff has made us mad:D So I accept.

I have previously told off (gently) a poster who apparently love to use big red font for the same post many many times. So, if I feel something is not quite right, I just say it. What I quoted you saying is all wrong. So what if you find it hard to scroll 70 lines on an iPhone? A few flicks of the finger too troublesome? :rotfl:

Anyway, I shall stop it now. Have fun!

Actually i am grateful for your response, the part i took exception to was the part you choose not to quote:

"because you are working so hard during the day to afford an iPhone and so busy you need to keep up with the forum on the road using a smartphone? "


I do have an iphone, not that that matters and yes like so many here we do work hard. I'm glad we can agree on some things.
