quick q for you lovely peeps before I ring head office. Not sure if they open today

can you get DTD on self service checkouts?

Yes you can and if they tell you other wise then ring HO. I had same problem a while back and the only time you cannot get DTD is due to a double scan but that should be near impossible unless you get a very very light item.
HO refunded me and contacted the store (or said they were going to atleast) Good luck.

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....

Here's one I made earlier:



If I could knit, I would so make these! I'm passionate about recycling and would love to make these!!

My DTD this morning were on the self service checkouts and customer services never questioned it.

Pyrex Tin - all other sizes scan at full price BAR 0344 37p

Lovely tins

Thanks snap-ant got 2 on xmas eve - 37p each :T

Heatherlea wrote: »

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.

Well done getting a fab DTD on these :beer:

Anyone know what the Andrex puppy tokens on the 'Andrex on the go' are for?

I had one small find in T's this morning, got the 20 packs of carlsberg priced up at £10, scanned at £14. These were at the end of an aisle so must have been missed. No argument for DTD at CS, so go the 20 cans for £6
