    Hi, what is the bulk buy rule, last time I bought loads of something I asked if there was a limit of 6 (I think that is what it used to be) and was told that Tesco had done away with that rule ... is this official policy do you know, or another store whim when it suits? TIA

    interesting = I have been caught out on this so would welcome the answer / guide. thank you.

    Whenever they have BOGTF offer at Tesco, they limit it to 18 items per offer. For instance, when they had Surf on this offer late last year/earlier this year I bought 18 and paid for 6 (just opened the last one - boo hoo!)

    If anyone at Mr T's said I was bulk-buying, then I would quote their own rules about BOGTF offers. Anything of 18 or below is not bulk buying.

  • Have been lookin for these in store but with no luck. Ordered some with my cat food and couldn't believe it when 5 boxes arrived!! Not sure where the store is keeping them!!!!

    Also found the strawberry Go Ahead wafers (was coming to post but looks like old news!!) And also found Rice Cakes for 29p. Not sure what they're like but thought give them a go.

    No Frootz tho.

    I was on location in Wembley last week and the guy in front of me bought over 40 pots of double cream.
    It was not reduced and I asked the sa what was happening as he had to sanction it with the manager. He said that some shops and restaurants come in when the cash and carry closes to stock up, its not always cheaper but its convenient. He said if its bulk they have to sanction it as it might leave them low on stock for other customers.
    The guy buying had an indian restaurant......don't eat indian but is there something that takes a lot of cream??
