Tesco Discussion chat & grabbits eleven +

I peed on someones bonfire a treat tonight and enjoyed every minute of it!! I know that sounds awful but let me explain.

My local are fairly predictible with their end of day reductions on food and as I'd been away for a few days I needed some fresh salad stuff, bread, milk and maybe a few bits of meat for a neighbour who'd asked so I popped up to Tesco tonight to see what was about.

The usual 'suspects' were in there with loads of half price fruit and veg in their trolley and handing it blatantly to the bloke with the PDA who was dutifully reducing it all for them to 10p (why Tesco stand for this is beyond me).

Anyway, theres this one family. Him, her, 2 or 3 kids, mum and dad and a brother I think, who crowd around every green tray of meat, fish and prepacked meals as its brought out from the back that nobody else can get in. They also came barging in last week with stuff, elbowing their way into a nice peaceful queue and got told by one or two in the queue to 'do one' shall we say!

Tonight there wasn't much I fancied and the guy with the PDA took the last basket out the back, but not before this bunch had deposited 3 packs of breaded haddock they had been hoarding hoping to get it back again when it was a few pence. A few minutes past and out pops the lad with the tray on a trolley. He's met a few feet into the store by this bunch who halt him and start diving in, but as lucj would have it the trolley has stopped right in front of me so as all the arms fly in, I quietly pick up these 3 packs of breaded haddock (and 2 other items I fancied) and walked off.

Well this 'lady' says "excuse me" really loudly and I chortle to myself as I turn around knowing exactly what she's going to say! "My friend was waiting for those" she says. My reply was something along the lines of it wasn't my problem. She blustered away for a few moments then repeated her statement again. I just said 'so what' and walked off.

I walked up to two fellahs who also go regularly for the reductions and I told them I didn't even want the breaded haddock but I had it just to make a point. They thought it was hilarious and the one chap swapped me a pack of bacon for one of my breaded haddocks lol. On the way home I popped in to a neighbour who had the other two.

Made me feel good too!

I did manage to get for myself a load of cheese for next to nothing. About 8 packs varying in size up to just over 550g for about 80p each so nice freezer food, and a couple of kilos of fresh sausages for about £1.50

Only 4p item I found was one lonely blue mack which someone had left as it didn't have a tag on it!

I'm now home and relaxing with a pint of Gin & Tonic, easy on the ice (don't want to dilute the gin too much) and 4 slices of lemon.

lol thtl serve them right, i actually hate going to the reduced bit for this reason. altho someone bumped right into my stomache with a trolley at the reduced the other day, que one annoyed hubby who decided to tell them in no uncertain terms that there own greed had not only just hurt me it was also likley to undo thousands of pounds worth of medical treatment to put the baby there in the first place and perhaps instead of standing at reduced they should go to the optitions just three isles down, he would even walk them there if they couldnt bring there guide dog in, he then walked off, i was so embarassed lol.

I'm feeling left out, I don't have anything. Although I did find a toblerone bar, not very well hidden by HC.
