Tesco's Rai^ham and Galli*ns Reach had nothing today....manager was very unhelpful, overheard another Mse'r asking about laptops and again staff seemed none the wiser.

The epilators/shavers/tom toms all scanned at full price. However, a cashier was pretty honest and said "a manager from another store called us yesterday and let us know, so we just cleared it all out".

I didnt know whether to be pleased for her honesty, or annoyed at the audacity.

They even had someone taking all the pink parazone bleach off display, so not a single bargain for me this week:o

Went to lee valley again today but no bargains at all got the electric blanket double scanned but it was 15pounds lefft empty handed again.

Worth a H/O email? - of course it wasn't faulty but you could have said you have a faulty one already and want it for parts.

As hard as it will be, Im not going to bother going again. Well done to all those who got a bargain, but I come on this site to help me save money and instead I keep getting tempted to buy things I dont really need hahaha:rotfl::rotfl:

The most frustrating thing about Galli0ns reach branch was that I couldnt understand why the cupcake maker/george foreman grills/black and decker sander/kettles/toasters etc were all together when they wouldnt normally be, but scanned full price??!! I wonder if staff can override head office pricing?

In terms of toys, they had shelves and shelves of Fisher Price toys, the most expensive being £2, I have never heard such a large group of excited mums!. There was a members of staff with a hand scanner just stood ih the toy dept with people coming up to her getting her to scan things!!

you girls must all be shopped out by now
They usually put all the bargains on end of isle shelves
the one I usually go to puts them on a shelf and yellow labels the sale prices it makes life a lot easer

but the thing is the yellow labels have been the wrong price as they get further reduced each week.

Hurrah, I finally got an iron! Given that I hate ironing, I am quite ridiculously pleased.

The SEL said £14 and it scanned at £14 but it was RTC down from £40, so I'm happy.

It's a Breville 2400W Model VIN177 in green.

A lot of the Breville stuff had stars on the SEL (which apparently means dicontinued) so I wonder if there willl be further reductions on some of that in the future, as they try to clear out more to make room for the Christmas stock.

I scanned a few of the things in the clearance area, (an ipod dock thingy and a Sony e-reader), on the off chance but everything scanned as per the price on the SEL and there were no amazing bargains.
