Hi can someone direct me to a picture of the princess zhu zhu castle that you are able to get for £2 or the barcode? Its just my daughter is after one for christmas and I did scan one the other day but it came up full price thanks

Out & about at the mo, but will do as soon as I'm home

Its a slightly wider box than the ones that are currently on most tesco shelves, if that helps. Ours was on a top shelf, not out with the others

To be fair artha, if that's how the lady wishes to spend her time and petrol, not much we can do about it

You know Lidl has an app on their website that allows you to plot all UK Lidl stores on your sat nav

Do you think it's worth writing to Tesco to ask them to do the same?

oh they already do, tesco sat nav downloads

Another one to add to the list of things that make me feel old!

it used to be cylandrcal now its pentagon shaped.

not pentagon as that has five sides, smarties tubes have six sides. so whatever a 6 sided thing is called,thats it!!

Some people were asking about JTD for the wine offer. Well here's my post from yesterday on that thread. A local MSEer has confirmed that the wine does compare and another MSEer has said it compared at the best rate so less than £2/bottle:

No idea if this one price matches (other Gallos have in the past) but:

Gallo Merlot Rose (750ml)
T: £6.29
A: £6.46 BUT 3 for £10

6 bottles in T = 6 * 6.29 = 37.74 - 25% = 28.31
6 bottles in A = 2 * (3 for 10) = 20

If the same glitch works as last time (comparison done against full price in Ts and not with the 25% off) then you'd get back £17.74 in JTD having only paid £28.31 so £1.76 per bottle. 2nd worst case you get the £8.31 JTD and pay £3.33 per bottle (almost half price). Worst case scenario it doesn't compare and knowing Ts, this is the more likely scenario.

This maybe worth a shot for those that like red..
