Pyrex Cake Pan scanning at 37p @ Tesco Extra these are normally about £4 Iamge available in the link

http://www.arc-international-cookware.com/en/products/classic/cake-pan

Hi everyone, I only usually lurk on this thread but thought I'd share my findings with you on these Pyrex Classic cake pans. I've just returned from the Tesco Extra store in [EMAIL="Blackp@@l"]Blackp@@l[/EMAIL] and the SEL for these Pyrex sandwich tins was 37p but they scanned at £3.50 each. I had bought 8 of them (some for my mum and sister) so ended up with a DTD of £50.08. When I returned to my car I then checked the rest of my receipt and the Neutradol car odour destroyers that were scanning at 50p last week and still showed the SEL at that price, were now scanning at £2.47. It did cross my mind whether to go back in store and buy the dozen or so left on the shelf but I decided to be honest and when back to Customer Services and, as I had bought 2 of them I got a DTD of £7.88.

I'd also bought lots of woopsied casserole steak that should have been 3 for £10 or 4 for £12 and with the reduction and multibuy it only worked out at £1 per pack.

I think this must have been my best shop yet at Tesco when I actually got paid £8 to take all my shopping away.

Thank you everyone for sharing your bargains and Seasons Greetings to you all.

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid light

4. Rottweiler: Make me.

5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Labrador: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeease let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeease, please, please, please!

7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
8. Jack Russell: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!

10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or "We don't need no stinking light bulb."

12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

13. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?
Cats do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs.

STEP ONE: You’ll need 20 supermarket carrier bags to knit one medium-size shopping bag. Make sure they have no holes or tears and cut off the handles. You’ll be left with the main body of the bag.

STEP TWO: Start cutting 3cm down from the top of the carrier, going in a spiral motion — as if you were peeling an apple. You will end up with one big long strip of polythene 3cm wide.

STEP THREE: Treat your spiral as if you were knitting with a strand of wool. Tie it on to one end of an 8mm knitting needle. If you use smaller needles, you’ll probably need more bags as the stitches will be tighter.

STEP FOUR: Cast on, knit and cast off as you would with wool. When you reach the end of a piece of plastic, tie a new piece on to it and continue knitting.

STEP FIVE: When you have made a rectangular plastic ‘canvas’ to whatever size you want your bag to be — 25cm x 50cm — fold it over into a bag shape and sew up the sides using thin strips of carrier bag instead of thread. Make these stitches as tight as possible — seams need to be strong enough to hold whatever you’ll be putting in your bag.

STEP SIX: Now for the handles. Create the shoulder straps by knitting two additional long, thin strips. They can be as long as you like, but four stitches across is a good width.

STEP SEVEN: Attach the straps to the body of the bag you created in Step Five, using plastic threads.

STEP EIGHT: Voila, you have your very own, stylish, home-knitted eco bag — and all for free.

Really must go & ice these cup cakes....

Lovely tins

The tins I bought this morning have the same barcode ie ending 0344 but scanned at £3.50, although the SEL said 37p, so it must be store specific and one worth looking out for, especially with such a good DTD.
