    YAY! Happy bunny :) got 11 of the giant lollies and also the gummies.. found the CDM scanning at 34p, Cars bubbles for 20p and also got a possible new very low priced item (can't see it posted anywhere so sorry if its been mentioned already)..

    A bag of Hot Shots metallic marbles - 4p! :D
    I LOVE MSE! :money:

    the megga lollies usual price 31p are also in with this glitch, although not usually displaying a SEL for the offer.

    My local extra is showing the SEL for the lollies but not for the gummies :rotfl:

    Gummies still working as of today

    The SA commented, something along the lines of "Good offer on those, isn't it" :j

    Nope, the big packs that are 35p each. So £1 would not normally even buy 3 packs, never mind 11!! :D

    Oddly enough, the mini packs that are 10p each were not labelled up in the "11 for £1" offer, whereas these big packs clearly were! :j

    Weird, I saw the small packs for 11 for £1! I assumed the offer was supposed to be for the small ones and was applied to the big ones by mistake? :T

    Great! I just nipped in one express and they charged me £2.50 for something that was labelled 31p. I just told em to take it off as I was in a rush and couldn't see the blue board regarding
    the overcharge policy.

    Might go to a local express later to see if they are in there too!

    If I strike it lucky, I will then share what it was!

    Oooo! Think you should let us know regardless;) Good luck and let us know how you get on... will see you 'at home' in the elite thread later;) :rotfl:

    Just been into my brand new Tesco ... and NO SCANNING MACHINES!!!!! I felt like calling the manager down and asking if he knew how customers NEED those machines in the store!! How can I make their life a misery with all by bargains and DTD's if I can't check them out beforehand ;)

    Might start a petition and stand outside with a placard, make them listen :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Good News - it's 24hr so can nab early/late bargains :D

    Bad News - Takes me forever to get around as it's a new local one so it's 'Hiya, how are you' every 5 bloody minutes, lol.

    Love it though ... might go back tomorrow just for the hell of it :p:p

    Well i rang head office and explained about the incident the other day. Hes sending me a £10 voucher as a gesture of goodwill, so at least that makes up for the petrol i spent getting there.

    Do you get double the difference in an express? Cheers.

    I've got dtd in an express, but I really had to push. Had a variety of excuses, including we dont do this at an Express, but company policy is 'dtd' and this applies to all Uk Tesco stores. HTH
