Hi,

These were on sale in Cheri**n today. Label said half price - £18 knocked down to £9. Still scanning at £18 so bought one then went to CS and managed to get £18 DTD back with no probs so a good freebie! My first DTD:T

lol, we were at corstorphine for a one off today and a woman had almost 10 in her trolley! i did wonder why and where they were but couldnt find them!

megabloks scanned at £15 late last nite :mad: -so be careful those who are on the hunt for them

I got some today at £30 in a Homeplus so may depend on the type of store.

Barbie cars were still scanning high too

My local T's tried telling me DTD doesn't apply to toys, a quick phonecall to head office, and back in i went and argued my case, i don't think the CSA liked me.... she rang 3 managers to see if she was 'allowed to do it'

Did a big shop today, found the breadmaker for £8.xx and 2 Barbie sets. However when I went through the till the very helpful cashier noticed the half price sticker and put them through at that price. No DTD for me. Not sure I want them now as DD isn't old enough for them for a year or so so may take them back.

Presumably because they were all in her trolley!! I thought about picking up more than one but wasn't sure if the DTD would be given on more than one item....

return them and go to another store where you might get them for free also I always put the sticker downside and choode a young male who doesn't give a sh** good luck

Most times I get two of each dtd items unless they are really high value ones... you know twins etc.

With stickered items it's always best to check out the checkouts first! I usually pick on the one who looks like his/her mind is elsewhere!

I chanced a self-serve today with my Megabloks because they were stickered and still got DTD without a battle. Some say it has caused them problems, but at the end of the day, unless you get a till prompt to confirm the price, you are simply scanning the items and listening for the beep - it is their responsibility to charge the correct price.

That's exactly what I did with the Barbie car - sticker side down and bar code towards the cashier

I've been using this site for quite a while, but this is my first ever post as today was the first time I tried the DTD when I spotted the Barbie School at my local Tesco. Stickered at £12.50 I nervously checked the price at the self service tills, which came up at £25. (There seemed to be a lot of staff round the self service area. It's a shame there isn't another way of checking the price before buying.) Thought I was going to get rumbled when a helpful assistant tried to show me how to bag the item and looked at me as if I was mad when I said I'd remembered I'd got more shopping to do, I had a half-full trolley at this point. Anyway went back to get another and continued with my shopping. No problem at the till but I had a full trolley including other toys. I haven't gone to the CS yet for my refund as there was quite a queue but will try tomorrow. I do feel a bit guilty but I spend a fortune in there. (That shop alone was £220)
Thank you so much to the OP.
