Evening all

Nearly forgot to add that I found 2 pairs of Ladies patterned tights for 4p each yesterday

Hi Simone10
Do you have a bar code please, no scanner in my store and I think I might have seen these around!

BOGOF doesn't usually work on whoopsied items. It is usually only where there is more than one discount offer on the same range that it works, ie if something is on say 3 for £5 AND 5 for £8 or whatever - needs to be a multi offer

I've been experimenting with this lately. I too didn't realise that the product had to be on two different discount structures in order for an amount to be deducted from your shopping than was greater or equal to what you paid

I can't remember what I bought exactly on my differing test runs but I can give you some numbers as an example. (I've just read my post back before submitting and I apologise that the following is perhaps a bit too wordy but I dont have time to make it any more succinct)

Let's say there were 2 items with original price of £2 each, marked at 2 for £3 (so a multibuy saving of £1). They were both whoopsied down to £1 each so I thought I could buy 2 for £2 and then the £1 multibuy would kick in giving me both items for £1. It didn't work because it wasn't a double discount offer that was programmed into the till. I had no grounds for complaint as I got the products at the price marked and cheaper than the multibuy promotion

Another time I bought 3 whoopsied veg products that were all labelled with red stickers saying "3 for 2 - cheapest item free". The SA noticed it didn't knock off the lowest item so she just cancelled it on the receipt. So I got my 3 whoopsies for the price of 2 whoopsies. Had I paid for all 3 (which I very nearly did!) I would have claimed DTD on the lowest price item that I shouldn't have paid for which would have given me 3 items for the price of 1

Another time I got 2 lots of fruit labelled with red stickers that said BOGOF. The BOGOF kicked in automatically at the till so I got 2 whoopsies for the price of 1 whoopsie that time. If I had paid for 2 then I would have claimed DTD and got them both free

Based on these experiences I now know to focus on whoopsied items with 2 different discount structures and also BOGOF/342 red labels. In the case of BOGOF/342 I would definitely seek DTD if I had to pay for all the items

I'm still waiting for the day that I am paid to take away any whoopsies!

I know everyone's preferences are different but I have always been happiest with nit comb, large bottle conditioner and some patience for repeat sessions

Same here. Even with 3 DDs was always how we got rid of them. I did use a bowl with a drop of tea tree oil in too, dipped the nit comb in it between each combing of the hair. But as you say it is time consuming.

Does no-one else consider the term "!!!!!" to be offensive? I always thought using it was a no-no

I always save myself the petrol money and leave anything like that out on the street for someone to take. Not having to haul it to the recycling depot reduces the risk of putting my back out or damaging my car. My council would collect it if I asked them to but I don't see the point in organising a collection because it would undoubtedly have been lifted by a passerby before the council ever got to me

I consider people who uplift goods like that to be doing me a service and I think of it as an extreme form of wombling on their part. If I am happy to make money out of other peoples receipts I can't begrudge someone making money out of my unwanted white goods.

But that's just me, obviously you are free to do what you want with your own property

we often put non working items on freecycle ,theres always a chance someone wants them for parts etc , if not we have numerous takers for items that we cannot dspose of .
The old rag'n'bone man was always welcome around our house when growing up ...so was the peg seller and the knife sharpner .
