    Am putting some thought into my code name at the moment;)
    Just got back from T's and the candles are still £1.50 for me:( But wasnt a wasted trip as sitting on a top shelf was a lonely morphy richards filter kettle that scanned at £5 and my brother really wanted one:T So these electrical bits & pieces are still out there, it's back to the old trick of "looking up" ;)


    do you have a barcode for this please.

    thanks

    Does anyone buy Red magazine? There is a code in it for £10 off Molton Brown. I wanted to know if the code is generic. Thanks.

    Hi, Managed to get a George Foreman 3 portion grill there were more the same but only one scanned @ £5. Picked up 2 Campingaz portable stoves for £1.50 left one on shelf. A slendertone male abs toner with a damaged box for £7.14 but will still give as xmas pressie. Was lucky enough to get the last 2 Green Tesco battery chargers for £2.
    There was also a stack of Picto red desk lamps @ £1.25. I only bought 2. These were on the bottom shelf near the pillows/quilts.

    SA couldn't believe all the bargains. Wasn't too happy with her though. Scanned a polly pocket party boat set stickered at £12 but scanned at £24 yippee I thought DTD here we come!! I'd picked up 2. When I got to checkout I turned box so she only had to look at bar code. She put first one through fine but then she turned the second over after scanning to reveal the reduced price :eek::mad:.Put the light on & I knew my luck had run out - over came supervisor who said don't worry you can have them at £12. I said thank you (obviously I will be returned tomorrow for a refund). Hopefully someone else will be lucky enough to get one or two! As I went out they were being removed from the shelves!!

    I have given up trying for DTD on stickered items in Ha5ting55 store , SA now check all stickered things match the reciept otherwise they call a supervisor and let you have it for the stickered price :mad: .So then you have to smile and say thankyou and then return the item .
    Never pay more than you have too

    hi peeps

    trick with the stickered items is put the sticker face down ready for scanning and if you have 2 of them leave one in your trolley with sticker side down (but don't forget to tell SA you have another one in your trolley lol don't get arrested for shoplifting!)

    chat to SA especially JUST as she is scanning the DTD item to distract them (talk about anything!!)

    just worked a treat for me with 2 barbie cars!:T:T

    also got a single technika dvd player not sure if i've got a bargain with that i'm getting used to free shopping lol! :rotfl:was £49 but went through at £29 used a£6 off Morrisons voucher and a £5 tesco direct till spit so cost £18-can anyone advise is that a bargain, i'd rather ask the elite than on the electrical thread:A

    also 2 galt mobiles for £1.75 each:j

    was literally shaking as security guard (knows me well)came to stand over my shoulder at CS desk:eek:, was a new CS assistant she knows me a bit but doesn't hate me (YET:p) like the others do otherwise i wouldn't have even tried, sorry no point in naming the store as none left on shelf

    drat ........wish i'd bought more daily mirrors yesterday, didn't think i'd be needing more vouchers already spent loads last week, i'm supposed to be detoxing from T's

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I was in the P*rth Edi Rd this evening and the bogof sensations is not going through. I was fobbed off by the SA as they've removed the sels (still in the big bogof area), but as I'd picked up a direct order I was trying to keep a low profile. Just got a refund though, but I bought with pc voucher so no big hardship there ;)!

    It's only a game

    Hello everyone! :)

    just to report I'm still alive however I don't know how it's possible... :eek: Yesterday was a nightmare but I just want to forget about it...

    We still aren't unpacked and trying to sort things out but it starts looking better...

    And I need some help and I know you're the best to ask :A

    I need to buy a sofa cover, 4 chairs covers, a table cloth, 2 pairs of curtains and 3-4 shelves/storage units... Any advice where to go for best prices? Being used to free shopping doesn't help when I see the prices :(

    And it's all down to the items already in the flat(the landlord's) being awful and I hate them so much I have to get rid of them asap otherwise I'll just cry all day everyday... :( The landlord himself is a nightmare actually but I'll get back to it when I have more time... ;)

    Thanks in advance :A

    PS. Of course I kept up with you on my phone all the time yesterday and today! :D
