    A big thanks for the post. Managed to get 10 yesterday and another 20 today. The cashier typed in a quantity of 2 not 20 so got 20 for 2p! :j
  • Thanks very much for this OP, just filled up two bags full, and it only cost a bit of spare change in my pocket.... :-)
    Because it's only half the calories, you can eat twice as much. :D
    Because it's a bargain, you can buy twice as much. :think:
    Since starting saving money, I've spent way too much!!! :doh:
  • Still doesn't explain how my works can purchase 300+ bottles of wine from them for our staff christmas prezzies???

    I would pressume that they would place a customer order for this amount:rolleyes:

    I would have refused to serve him for taking the p. Anything above 20p in copper isn't legal tender anyway :)


    What?????? :confused::confused::confused:
    I must have missed the memo when this came into effect :p
    I made a mistake once, believeing people on the internet were my virtual friends. It won't be a mistake that I make again!
  • Cheers OP.

    I bought 32 of em today. Left some for a fellow MSE'r as I am good like that!

    Just picket up a whole box off the shelf. The lady on the till looked a bit surprised and when it came up as a penny each she looked shocked.

    "I think they are on special" I said.

    "I dont care, whatever it scans at is the right price as far as I am concerned she said"

    She is definitely an assistant to go to for future bargains/miss prices!

    I'm sure its "if its over £20.00 in coins, you can refuse to accept it".

    Although I cant proove it, but 20p in copper might be a sub-rule to the above.. who knows lol
  • What?????? :confused::confused::confused:
    I must have missed the memo when this came into effect :p

    1p and 2p coins are legal tender up to the value of 20p

    5p and 10p coins are legal tender up to the value of £5

    20p and 50p coins are legal tender up to the value of £10

    £1 and £2 coins are legal tender to any denomination

    Why persecute checkout girls by paying with pennies, they work for a living just like you do? Surely all supermarket staff should be treated with respect if they are not disrespecting you?
  • Went back to get some more today and all SIX stores I went to had sold out!

    Aaaaah, a victim of my own success.. :-)
