    DTD stands for double the difference, this means if you are over charged they will give the amount of the over charge back but double it :)

    One Tesco had been cleared and some guy was trying to get something out of a member of staff. Not sure if he was a glitcher. Went to another store and they only had 4 packs. Are they included? They had no price tickets and I was looking for 8 packs

    Went in today to a normal Tescos, did my first shop as I needed some bits anyway (so did my best mate), got 6 packs of AAs along with some other bits and bobs. Got a £34.78 spend down to £7.84 (including mates stuff). Old work colleage of mine was manning the SS tills, so wasn't entirely sure if I'd get away with it or not, but she took the security tag off the batteries and no problem.

    Accidently (on purpose) realising I needed some more food items, I decide to give the bags to my mate to take back to his van and I went in for round two - getting some AAAs this time. Smiling at old work colleage saying "Why is it when I bring someone with me, they distract me and I forget things - and he wants some more batteries too", and she happily chatted away again, taking security tag off!! That one was a £27.38 shop for £2.88 cash!

    Easy job :)

    3 will give you them for free, but no discount on shopping. 4 would (I presume) charge you for 1 of them. You can always try 4 then move to a different till and do 3

    aw, don't think this worked right for me at alty branch today - Sels said bogof so I got 6 x AA(8pk) and it took £14 off on the receipt (they were £3.50 each) so I think mines gone through as B1G2F - so £7 for 6x8 batteries so still a god bargin for me ;-)

    Think they meant a pack of 4 batteries, as opposed to a pack of 8. Offer only on pack of 8 batteries.

    Didn't work for me today in the Middleton Extra - bought 3 packs of AA and had to pay £3.50. This was around 1ish...

    Ah thanks that makes sense, assumed they meant only 4 were left on the shelf, so couldn't put through 6/12/18
  • Not working for me in Norfolk. Got refund and then tried again in different Tesco - same outcome.
