A question please re - wombled receipts, I have had some(not enough) from trolleys and they are easy to pick up without anyone thinking I'm weird;) but I have walked past some on the floor in the car park and been too embarrassed to stop and pick them up.

Would you pick them up if people were watching? If so how?

I am always on the lookout now but don't want to attract attention:D!!

TIA!

It was the converted vouchers that caused the fuss with the holday company. Best to check if you were thinking about using someone elses e thinks.

It only works if you choose deals that do not have name printed on the deals vouchers . Its in the t&c's of the deals .I have bought some with no problems .

I just pick them up and if anyone asks just say ''oh I thought I'd dropped it'' or ''I don't like littler'' or if it's one in a trolley, just be nosey and shove it in to my blue bags and carry on going. Knowone has ever asked me, I've also not wombled any decent receipts!

I'm back in already, cos I was sooo tired, after my trek round 3 x Tesco this morning. I come back on here and you load of tempresses are posting NEW 1p items ....NO NO NO ..... I will not go searching again, even though I obviously really need Andrex spray, and those lighter thingys (are they 1p BTW?)

Does anyone else spend more on petrol that they save on the bargains?

I've been to 8 different Tescos this week, does anyone think I might have a problem? :eek:

Good point,thank you, I won't be walking past anymore!

I too have yet to find one that's been "productive" but will keep trying!:beer:

Only found out yesterday too that Express receipts can't be price checked, only Metro,Superstore and Extras. Had a good one from the Express too...:mad:

Evening all :wave:

I have been trying to catch up and still have 10 pages :eek: to go. However, I felt I must post before continuing as I'd noticed lots of posts about another post (IYSWIM), the one about the dog biting people and killing a cat. I may have been one of the people who thanked this post, completely unintentionally, because I was "catching up" with the thread and I am one of those people who thank each post anyway. I would never condone cruelty of any kind to animal or human. I have tried to find the post to remove my thanks (if I had thanked it) but I'm presuming the post itself has been removed. This will certainly make me more vigilant in reading what I am thanking (even if I am 10-15 pages behind)

Anyway, on another note, I popped to my T's at 6pm (bit late I know but was waiting for OH to get home from work so I could go by myself). The whoopsies that were left were being reduced again (there wasn't an awful lot from what I could see) but because the SA was getting so harrassed and shoved as she was trying to do it, a supervisor came over and cleared the whole lot off of the shelf and sent her out the back to do it. The crowd then took up their positions near the double doors of the storeroom and waited for her to come back. The last time I looked (at 6.55pm - store closing at 7pm), she hadn't come back out with anything and there was still a fair few people waiting for her :eek:

I found a candle lighter thing but it scanned at £2.00 (I kept this anyway as I could do with one) and I also found the fly catcher things (think they were the right ones - rentokil with a flower on the front) but they scanned at £3.06 each:eek:

Right, back to catching up. DD1 has just finished making the Mary Berry cupcakes and they smell lovely! She didn't add the Brandy and the vanilla flavouring I found in the cupboard expired in September so she improvised and added the juice of an orange to the buttercream icing......... I'm gonna have one with a nice cuppa in a minute
