My confirmed price comparisons from yesterday:

Tesco Stayfresh Sliced Bread 0.80/0.70
Nesquik Chocolate 1.92/1.00
Tesco Strawberry & Banana Smoothie (x2) 3.50/2.00

That's great I bought the strawberry today so finger's crossed!

Does anyone know how much Tesco finest toblerone type chocolate is scanning at?..it's in a long rectangular dark coloured box. Just that this afternoon in store an assistant came and started emptying the shelf telling another customer 'that you can't buy them as too cheap'...there was no scanner in the store otherwise I would have scanned one to see how much.

I think these were xmas stock like the finest dessert chocs I got and the champagnes ones Nikki got, I kicked myself for not scanning one lonely battered box with a give away rest of empty shelf. But not seen them locally since they were in the seasonal aisle xmas time. Although one of the fudges I think may fudge_cake scanned them and were still full price in their store. Was it the ones in the black box with red writing on?

I wandered into a thread about newspapers earlier that was discussing money off tesco shops in newspapers.

One mentioned specifically was the point collecting in the Mail.

To collect £5 for tesco you have to spend £18 on the paper over the course of six weeks. It does not seem to make sense.

Does anyone do this? Am I missing something?

i collect these tokens, but i only buy the mail at the weekends anyway.

Just tried these in my local, two different boxes on shelf; the one above and a new style box. Both scanned at £2 :cool:

The purple Quality St cartons look like the normal QS cartons. Look closely as they tend to be next to normal ones on shelf. It's purple with 'favourites' written across it.

Feeling really sorry for myself. Woke up this morning and can hardly see out of my right eye. My cheek is all swollen up. I have an infected cyst which has burst. I have to see the out of hours GP this afternoon at the hospital. I have a phobia about hospitals and I am so scared.

♥ Bestest wishes hope it's sorted easily - Rescue Remedy drinketh now!

Something new to report- while at the SS till I heard an automated voice thingy from another SS till (Praise the Lord it wasn't mine) that said something along the lines of "Please wait while we check your bags":eek::eek::eek:

I can't remember what it was exactly as I was far too busy scanning efficiently and looking normal:D but I'm sure it was pointing to the fact the someone may have been doing an AWT...:eek::eek::eek: Nooo!!

No worries - I'm always getting this entirely my own fault. After I've paid I always chuck my handbag down next to my shopping bags to gather everything up together. It's the unexpected weight of the handbag - makes it think you are stealing

Right we have battened down the hatches and had our showers after OH caught all the flies in the bathroom lucky they are lazy as just hatched. Now going to investigate in the loft to try and find the source. :eek:

Hope to be back later if we have not been eaten alive. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Remember the film "FLY" anyone.

Before I go, have a great holiday HC and Westie. No idea where you are off to but looking forward to reports and pics when you get back. And maybe a pic of a bus or two.

Well good afternoon everyone :hello:, just a quick check in from me as I have b'day pressies to deliver to my friends 9yr old DS.

Well after carrying out a stocktake on my sweetie/chocolate stash last night, I can now advise I have a spare room available for any chocoholics or sugar loving children :rotfl::rotfl:

There is just no way I am ever going to get through that lot

Don't panic Pike!!!!!
That is a fairly standard message on the ss tills. It just means that you have put your reusable bag in the bagging area before hitting the using own bags button. It is verifying the weight of your reusable bags

My mum had terrible problems with flies for a couple of years, she was in a charter housing flat ina warden controlled complex and it took them ages to sort out where the source was. They treated her flat but they kept coming back, eventually they found the source was the flat above my mums - they had to get a team in to clean it out and then treat it, eewwww
