    Silly question BUT .....

    ... why didn't you TRY 6 ?

    Might have knocked £2.68 off the rest of your shopping :)

    (6 x £1.28 = £7.68 - Multibuy Discount of £2.68 = £5)

    May have kicked in on 6 jars at 28p

    Nope :) never though about that !!

    lol cracks me up when they ask for receipts etc, why would anyone make it up!

    Why would anyone make it up?? Well I have ACTUALLY seen on hukd where someone claimed to work at HMV and made a mock up poster in photoshop claiming to have playstation 3 for 119 (or something like that!) ... why you ask?? NO IDEA! Very strange and sad but proves people out there REALLY do have that much time on there hands :(

    A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system

    all 1p items have been 'recalled' at br*nt p*rk tesco extra:( A message pops up on the till and they won't sell you the items! I have got 1p items from there before, but not had much luck lately as they have been adding more and more 1p items to their recall list. I'm sure they are spotting these when someone goes through a normal till with a penny item. They probably take it off the customer and add it to their list. Then I come along and try to get them through the SS tills...then have them taken off me! I realise now I am doing their job for them. They are too lazy to go around the store collecting all the 1p items. They just wait for me to pass through the SS tills with them, LOL.

    They are generally told to remove anything that scans at 1p so always use the ss till and take some other items through, watch the sa and when she is busy pop thru the 1p items, if u pay before she gets to u theres nothing they can do.hth

    I always go through SS tills;) The SA never sees what i'm scanning. I always scan the 1p items when he/she isn't looking. LOL In this particular store, you can no longer buy the 1p items. A message pops on the till when you scan the items. It says "product recall" and won't let you scan the item. Spoil sports! I'm not going in there again!

    in the h*mm*rsmith store I found lots of 1p HH peanuts. They were hanging on a strip in the drinks section. It's a bit hit and miss with the 1p items. I've seen a 1p sel for the sataymix in one store. Yet that silly store in w*mbley recalls all 1p items!
  • Thanks for that sally, i will be going there this evening, did you clear them all? have you found any other 1p items in that store?
