    Just wanted to say thankyou to the OP for originally alerting us to all this way back!

    I have finished looking for bargains now.

    I managed to get 4 x cameras and 3 x electric razors on my travels.

    Can't still quite beliveve i paid 15 quid for a 12Meg 5 x Optic Zoom camera!.

    But I do think it wrong that Tesco staff were allowed to buy this stuff too while on shift or keeping it out back for themselves. That is plain wrong and management should tell staff not to do it if it is happening in their store.

    I do not begrudge any member of staff that gets a bargain before it goes on sale to the public.

    This is the same in every single line of business, it is a small perk in what is an altogether thankless customer service job.

    I'm starting to get the impression that the North East is too good at Stock Management to end up with discontinued goods (either that or the staff are getting first choice)
    I think you're right there :(

    ...got 2 cameras but took one back and then when we checked the 2nd one I think it had been a display model and no destructions with it so got a refund.


    You can quite often find a manual online for cameras and other electrical items. Just do a search for the maker, model + "manual" and you may well find a manual that you can download for free!

  • I found 2 of the 71p irons, 2 of the Paperjamz amps, the 2:50 curling tongs, Babyliss mens shearer and the pyrex dishes between c&rrick and [EMAIL="kn@cknag@ney"]kn@cknag@ney[/EMAIL] - oh and the transformers pencilcase and a tiny box of benderoos too. [EMAIL="Newt@wnabb£y"]Newt@wnabb£y[/EMAIL] is the seventh circle of Hell and yet because its so handy, I'm never out of it. Didn't know there was a price scanner, I'll definitely have a neb out for that. Did anyone in NI manage the Lumie light, e -reader or epilator?

    No sign of a Lumie in any store. Don't need an e-reader as I was lucky enough to get a Touchpad and an epilator ......... I'm not into paying for pain :rotfl:
  • I'm suprised we aren't tripping over the Lumie thingys, given that it rains here 99% of the time - we are in dire need! ;)

    Just got back from Cradl3y H3a7h and picked up a couple of "Campingaz Camp Bistro 2200W" camping Stoves (Barcode: 3138522053703) SEL £15 but scanning through at £1.50

    Nice to find a bargain which you have been looking for before the Sale started.
