    Went for a quick whoopsie session today at one of the locals up here. Checked for OOD SEL's but all seemed in order or scanned cheaper.

    Dunno if its any use to anyone but the battery opperated organ type keypoards that T's had for £50 reduced to £25 now scan at £12.50. Might be worth sticking in the cupboard for a birthday pressie perhaps?

    Found the pork shoulders again (same store pmsl) so had a couple of those and added a whoopsied chicken, a small beef joint and 4 packs of tesco finest diced beef. Paid and left the store.......noticed one of the diced beefs had scanned at full price too! Result I thought and decided I had £3 to 'blow' so went to see what else there was being reduced.

    Got a couple of packs of sausage rolls for 2p, a couple of packs sausages and some of the posh cranberry stuffing, then the lad tells me he has a tray of meat he's about to bring out and reduce! its a tray full of stewing steak and theres only 2 of us still there waiting so we agree to split it between us. We had 7 packs each.

    Manned tills were all full so went to SS (I hate doing this with whoopsies as they are often a pain to scan). Beeped through all the meat and hit the subtotal to see how much tesco 'owed me'. Then scanned the sausages, stuffing etc and to my horror with an empty basket they still owed my 70p!!! Fortunately the chocolate section is VERY close tot he SS tills so quickly grabbered a couple of snickers bars and duly paid my 30p.

    Bottom line is tesco paid my just under £3 to take all this away today...........proper price just over £80 and brings my tally of pork shoulders rescued to 7!! :)

    French knickers - RESPECT!


    I went to Mr T and got not! Only things reduced were trifles and crap like that! But then went to mr a and he was much kinder - got 12 packs of posh stuffing (normally 2 for a fiver!)

    Well done FK !

    Can I just ask if when you use the SS tills and the subtotal is a minus (ie they owe you money) do your SS tills not start blowing up or have you found a way to add more on after checking total? last time I tried this and ended with a minus figure I tried my best to scan more items on to hide the minus but the till was stuck and I had to leave all the OEP I found!

    TIA

    The forum is a little slow moving so why don't we find out how everyone has been using up their whoopsied items?

    Tomorrow, I'm having whoopsied pork loins with an orange (whoopsied), honey (Tesco value) & rosemary (from my garden) glaze.

    Will serve on creamed potato and swede mash (whoopsied) with shredded cabbage (you guessed it, whoopsied!)

    This is gonna be followed up with apple and cherry crumble (whoopsied fruits!).
    Topped off with ambrosia custard from the glitch!!

    Not done anything with mine yet as they are all still in the freezer.:)
