  • Thanks OP! Took the last 4 AAs off the shelf and 2 AAA packs. Got both discounts of £14 and £10.50. Bargain!

    This was about half an hour ago at an extra store. Might go back later and see if they have re-stocked.

    Well I have been to 4 stores (3 xpress 1 main store) today, 1 x petrol & popped inside, 2 x battery hunt & Surf hunt (yes slow off the blocks for that one)!!

    2 express stores had buy 1 get 2 free -- you guessed it shelves empty ...

    1 express store had buy 1 get 1 free - shelves full as you might expect ..

    main tesco again had "buy 1 get 1 free" - I thought it was odd that the deal wasn't the same across the group ... but bought the 1 & 1 as still an excellent deal for extra long life AA.

    (oh by the way sunshine Surf full price £8.99 bogof in ALL stores - so that ship might have sailed I thinki

    Back to the batteries ....although shelf said BOGOF - should I have picked up 3 packs to get 1 & 2 free ... I am v confused ..

    I don't normally post on this board, but have been reading recently and you guys get some fantastic bargains .... so hope you can give me a bif of guidance ... :D

    In the two stores that I went in it had different offers on the SEL, but it worked in both. I don't think it's working in Expresses, only Extra's.You should have bought 3 in your extra HTH:)

    Lol, I'm tempted to try again when hubby gets in at 3.30pm (here's hoping he's had a good first day back at work after our hols) after my disastrous 18 packs this morning. Will return some the one I paid for today.

    Hope you don't mind my asking, but did they show as buy 1 get 1 free - or b1 get 2 free - I'm in a dilema as to if my extra has a diff deal to others, as per my earlier post ..
