Old El Paso working in Spr*ngh*ll but not in N*wtown@rds HTH someone

I think N3wt0wnards is too on the ball and too new! They got me when the Bakugan was scanning at £40 but stickered at £20, pitty I had 5 in the sale but felt better when I got to N3wtonbr3da and they also had them scanning the same so managed to get them there

Really feel they need trained by staff in other stores cause I need to be able to get some good glitches!!! :rotfl:

Clairol Perfect 10 Hair Colour for those who do. On offer at £5 (think it's usually about £7, I try to only buy when on offer). Comes through till at £3.50. Don't know if it's just the dark blonde or other colours but saved a good bit as it takes 2 boxes for my hair :j Bought enough for the next few times too

OEP working in W*st D*rringt*n but I don't think it will be for much longer as the SS assistant was watching me and commented when the discount came off... hello to Martin's friend who I met this evening *waves* My hubby was so embarassed, first time he had been out with me on a mission but he couldnt complain with £69 of food for £4.55 !!

Well I fell quite lucky to shop in Wales no trouts about!! One lady said "goodness, thats a good deal, I'll have to get some myself." And the woman on SS ended up scanning all my good while I went and got the correct half price bottle of port. I thought, thats it, im done with but all she said was "your bill says Cadburys 3 for £1.20 but you havent bought any. Dont worry, Im to going to say anything" RESULT
I had spun her the line that I was having a Mexican New Years Eve Party and she said that I was the second to tell her that today!!

So after visiting 3 stores, 2 trips in each in order not to make it obvious, this is what I had:-
5 bottles wine (£6 each)
Bottle of port
3x refried beans
3x guacamole
one side of salmon
3x salsa
3x taco shells
3x nachos
3x taco seasoning
3x fajita seasoning
15x tortilla wraps
21x dinner kits
6x mingles
ariel 28 washes gel
twiglets
cheeselets
card
sandwhich
2 butter
milk and fairy

And ALL that came to £56.04 saving a MASSIVE £120.05

Also had Royal Bombay Mix, Barcode ending 8273 for 20p

Plus, while routing around in the reduced seciton, I found a piece of topside that should have been in the half price offer. It wasnt. At £8.99/kg it was £23 something as it was £2.5kg. It was reduced to £15. So I purchased and went to CS. Explained that I thought it was incorrectly reduced. After 20 minutes of explaining to them that it should be £10 at £4/kg and that I had been overcharged, they eventually agreed and reduced it to £8.

So the difference was £7.05 and i had £14.10 DTD. I wasn't expecting DTD if im honest, but Ive got a lovely joint of beef for 95p. That really made my day

Reporting back after a trip to the Extra Store out of town D*rham. No joy on the OEP there and the SA even argued with my husband about the cheapest item being free, so, having got 12 earlier in the day from two Metro stores, we left it as we figured we were pushing our luck.

Quick recce after a coffee to sooth nerves we found the Clipper Tea and Anti Calc at 1p. We used the 5x 30p off vouchers (from the tea) and got £1.50 off the shop and should be able to reuse them as the "please insert your vouchers" slot on the SS till was broken!

I've checked all my receipts from the Metro stores earlier and on each occasion I bought 3 x Fajita/Enchillada OEP Dinner kits (priced from £2/96 to £3.22 each normally) they were correctly reduced to £1.20 for 3 - marvelous.

You are in good company, stu1e.

I just faced the bad conditions on a wasted trip. Tried 2 local stores to no avail

It wasn't illness that prevented me from trying earlier though, I was on vacation. Hope you are feeling a bit better

Toy Story Marbz are now 10p if you find em on a clip strip guys.

Managed to get 3 of the Splenda sweeteners so thanks sunshine!

Carz stickers are 18p on a clipstrip, Tesco demister pad is 25p on a clip strip and Choco Waffles are scanning at 50p

Not a complete wasted trip but I wouldn't have ventured out again for such a small hoard after a 2.5 hr journey home became a 6 hour nightmare :eek:

Be careful out there guys!
