    When I went to Tesco this morning, they still had the same 3 varieties they had yday (chilli, meatballs and tandoori) but only the chillli was marked as being on offer 2 for £6.00, the other 2 had standard white SELS with £4.00 on. TBH I didn't bother trying to see if it was still working, as I have NO space in my freezer!

    Did you hear about the Old El Paso glitch before Christmas?

    If you bought the right combination of products they gave you money to take them away (no that's not an exaggeration that's literally what was happening - search on here for OEP), that glitch was well documented on here and ran for almost a month.

    To think Mr T. has the wherewithal to actually look at these forums and then act on what they find assigns far more brains to them then they really have.

    While I agree that £4 could be perceived as a high figure the reality is that most pre packed food items these days weigh between 350-400g and usually cost about £2.50-£4. These are 600g and because of the glitch are currently costing you either £1 or 25p if you buy the masala, there's no way Mr T. is making money on these right now if you include shipping costs and shelf space lost opportunity costs.

    Given that the stores seem to have removed the Buy two for £6 SEL I suspect this could be the last day of this glitch anyway (it is still working today Thursday) but if it survives till tomorrow it won't get fixed till next Tuesday in all likelihood.

    Glitch appears to be fixed online (well it does when I log on and view 'my basket'), so I suspect it is no longer working instore....maybe this just relates to my local store though??

    Good job, cos there is simply no more room in my freezers now! :o
