The Charles Worthington Dream Hair Heavenly Body Thickening Detangler is still out there. Got three bottles today so thanks to op. Hope this will sort out my daughter's hair. I hadn't realised it is actually a condtioner you use when washing your hair, so may even use it for myself at 1p bottle. Still priced at £5.49 on the shelves. So do ask for a price check if you see it.

I scanned one of these on the self-scan-price-checker-machine-thingy (thats the technical term by the way!!) the other day and it came up as £5.49, same price as on the shelf.
Does anyone know if these price check machines are accurate, or is it worth trying the item at the normal till regardless of what the price check one says?

Different stores often have different prices, two stores very close to me - one had loads of toys reduced the other week the other had them still scanning full price.

It's the same at my 3 local Tescos as well, comes up as full price.

This is the exact one. please not i have got 8 bottles of this from different stores now and everytime there were bottles in front looking exactly the same except it says conditoner at the end and not detangler and this is what goes through at the higher price. so to clarify it it says detangler in a pink bottle it should go through for 1p.

I have managed to pick up a detangler in 2 diff stores. I noticed that there is almost identical stock with a 'NEW' flash on them.....which presumably scans at the higher price.
Also managed to pick up an Andrew Collinge Shampoo for 1p - only one left. Again it seems to be old packaging as it has the big "ac" on the bottle and not the full name, so presume that is why it is reduced - this is a simlar pink/lilac as the detangler.

Just found Tesco Active Glucose drinks, 380ml size, reduced to 9p a bottle. Not bad when you consider the same size bottle of Lucozade is about 80p in most places, and the Tescos one really is very similar.

Disney Baloo The Bear soft toy - £1.24
Disney Winnie The Pooh Set of 3 Figures - 99p

And they are still out there.!!!!! I picked up two bottles today, right at the back of the shelf. Must admit the bottles are so similar i had to re-read the bottles a couple of times. But still only 1p
