Tesco DISCUSSION, grabbits and misprices thread 11+

Morning all,

Thinking of you caz2703 and goodluck.

Any interviews today czerniacha? I'm sorry was so tired reading back last night I can't remember but good luck if you have.

DH is very impressed with his Executive Organiser I got yesterday for £1 but not so impressed when I said was going to pop it away for Christmas. But I got my 2 DDs at uni one each as just right to put portfolios in and don't want them to see it on the off chance they come home before then.

Shared the MSE love with a couple of people yesterday who were looking at the bargains, think they had only noticed as some of the SELs were actually right but I pointed out that there were some more things around the corner and some were actually lower priced than it said and told them I had checked on the checkers. And for a change they were actually interested. In fact one lady came back and asked me where the thing was that you check prices on.

But the highlight of the day was a young man and his partner were looking at the bargains on the bottom shelf and she said how exciting and I said (I will talk to anyone :eek:), pointing to the organisers in my trolley, it is exciting these are only a £1! The young man said "really" and I showed him where they were. Few minutes later I was returning some scanned items (still higher priced) and there he was clutching one doing a little jig. I must have really made his day was so funny we both laughed! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Happy hunting everyone today. My TCOs are safely packed away in what DH calls my goody bag. :T

It will be such a luxury washing my hair in 'proper' shampoo. Normally buy the litre value one when it's on at 20p. The pantene is more than double that but what the heck. I'm worth it

My store was hot on with the prices. The Stickered danepak bogof should have expired with no rollover promotion but it's still going through. Weird!

Went in my local and noticed a restock trolley with a new pack of 6 in the middle..... trolley was surrounded by 3 SA's yapping about something and nothing.... 'Excuse me' I says, 'Could I have 'THOSE' please'..... one proceeded to remove the pack and open it to hand me one..... 'Oh no..... i'll take all of them please.' .... 'Are you sure?'.... Hang on, let me think about that for a while..... 'Yes Please!' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Had another 6 off a trolley in other local store too..... and looked on shelf in both store for ANY SEL for them.... which there wasn't... so if I hadn't taken them all there and then they may not have even made it to the shelves..... Eileen and Toni.... if either of you want any of these and haven't managed to find them please let me know. Giving my sis a couple.... but that still leave me with 10

Hope this helps the TCO virgins on this forum.......

So…this is how to eat a Terry’s Chocolate Orange

1. Carefully peel the little label away from the top of the wrapper, then insert your whole hand into the newly created wrapper pouch and extract the globe (place on table).
2. Now…here’s where you get a bit Michaelangelo, have a good look at it, have an examine, feel its weakest point.
3. Once you’ve chosen the target point, pick it up with your thumb and 1st, 2nd, 3rd fingers and give it a hard tap against the table.
4. Now, after lots of practice, you will have produced lots of segments and an intact inner chunk of chok.
5. Mr inner chunk is really easy, set him aside and scoff him like a hamster would once you’ve dealt with the segments.
6. Now, segment handling is a controversial business. I like to eat them as slowly and precariously as possible (obviously) so I hold each one width ways between my lips and dissolve the chocolate from the thin end outwards with the help of some tongue action. This will look like you are trying to pretend you have a one large solid chocolate tooth about 3cms across. (Remember to take it out of your mouth when you laugh in the face of anyone who suggests anything so ridiculous).:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: x x

How many times did you have to 'practice' this routine to make sure these instructions were correct???? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:;)

Now i'm getting into this thread I think I need to start posting more.... I want more stars! :A:j

I tried the Pantene monday for the first time and my hair felt lovely after, I didn't even use a conditioner as didn't have time. I managed to get 6 in one store and another 6 in different one and no SEL in either. With lots of us buying this are we mostly brunettes, (will admit mine is mostly out of a bottle now but I was naturally when I was younger). Was hoping that the blonde one might be on offer too as my DDs are all different blonde, light auburn and brown (brunette)!

Up to the last sentence I could have written this exact response myself.... 'Brunette.... yes I was a natural one once..... now I have a few 'highlights', mainly at the front and near my scalp'.... (well that's what I like to call them anyway!!!) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

OMG, time to get off my Dads laptop and get some jobs done for my Mum while i'm here..... 'Need anything from Mr T's Mum???' Oh darn, she doesn't.... she went shopping there with my dad yesterday without me... and paid what Mr T asked.... :eek: .... She got a telling off .... :cool:
