Anyone know if there's any of the toothpaste in Manchester stores? Thank you.

There was some left in the Sale Sainsburys last night.

Loads on shelf and in the big box/plinth(next to toothpastes across aisle) in West Green, Crawley.

N.B. I can tell you why their is a huge glut on these,as I did the original bulk box displays in some stores.The company expected huge sales[why?] of jubilee toothpaste[£1]and hand wash, and over 2 weeks I was expected to regularly go in and refill.After a few days it was realised that no one was buying toothpaste so they were reduced to 75p.[hardly made any differance].So after the jubilee stores were left with masses of unsold toothpaste to clear.On top of that the 2nd batch of toothpaste was delivered too late.So stores now have a second batch to clear.I have just thrown away about 100 unused cardboard top up shelves for the displays that I could not use for the antisipated sales by colgate.Someone in colgates' promotion departments going to get a 'pasting'

Has anyone found any of the toothpaste in Liverpool. I tried Prescot Road, with no luck?

so cross!!!:mad:
Just got back from Mr S.
Thought I had bought the pizza deal.
Checked the stickers on the shelves but was tired at checkout and didn't look at receipt.
Got home to find meal deal didn't go through.
Got charged full amount!

This is a really helpful post - it all comes down to poor planning and logistics then?

I bought a load from my local store today - the supervisor had to get the manager's permission to sell multiples.
