  • Thanks OP, managed to get some today.
    Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.
  • found 3 packs hidden at the back of the shelf today so thanks op and whoever mentioned looking at the back.
  • In my store they refused to give me DTD!!!
    I was al excited when I found the 100% extra packs of Pinguins- 1.75 each etc...
    It didn't go through as BOGOF so off I go to the Customer Services. The SA phoned the manager ' an other of the Pinguin bar ones' - whatever thats means! anyway the manager turned up- old chap with no teeth- and try to explain that these 100% extra free bars are not included in the offer etc etc etc. I pointed out that the SEL doesn't say that these are not included in the BOGOF offer and that if the manufacturer offer 100% free than they should be included in the offer and Tescos should be charging extra to it- well it did not make any difference, he wouldn't bulge and just offered to refund my money... which I did and wasn't happy at all :(. Why can't I have some 'special' biscuits?

    Son of Martini report that 36 Breakaway biscuits are available for £1.55 in Abbeydale Rd, Sheffield.
    The 9 + 9 free packs are in the 18 position on the shelf but an 18 pack exists at the back with the barcode that matches the SEL.
    The 9 + 9 pack has a different barcode to the 9 pack but goes through as a 9 pack.
    They are in two locations in the store. One place mentions the BOGOF offer but has no 9 + 9 packs. The other location doesn't mention the offer but has the 9 + 9 free packs. Buy pairs of these! Good luck t' our Sheffield MSE'rs - like!

    I got the cashier to check for me if it had gone through with the penguins. she said it hadnot. I didn't want to chance it for dtd as cs because it was the 9+9 pack so I told her to get it checked out. another member came back after checking the shelf and said ony the 9 pack was B1G1F . I pointed out that this is a 9 pack (100+FREE) he voided one pack and let me have it. I think they would have argued with me if I tried it for DTD.
