I managed to blag that quite well then. £44 dtd paid.
I'm waiting to hear from the second store as at the moment I'm holding onto 18 packs of very expensive wipes!!:eek::eek::eek:

Even if I get them at 49p a pack at 3for2 I would be pretty happy.that was one option.
I'll update when I get my call tomorrow.

Also remember that the reason tesco does dtd is that they were a knats backside away from a major fine with trading standards!

Ho cs have told me that the store needs to resolve my issue and will be calling before 12 - we shall see!!!!

Morning everyone.

MMW sending hugs to you,sorry am late.

Congrats to Karlie "the grabbit master"

So, after yesterdays battle with stroppy CS, come home to email from car insurance saying time to renew.

Ring them and ask for call back, which they did.

CS "Your premium is £1400"

FQ "Yesterday it was £1100, how is it £300 more expensive overnight"

CS "We added a year to your NCB so you now have 7 years, and one of your claims expired, that raised the premium"

FQ " Though aditional NCB and claim off would reduce premium not increase"

CS " The insurance rate have shifted overnight"

FQ " Get your calculator out and bear in mind this call is being recorded. £1400 / £1100 = an overnight increase of 27 %, is that correct ?"

CS " Yes"

FQ " Get off the phone and go reconfigure, put me throughh to your help desk"

CS " Here is the number 0906 "

FQ " Sorry to interrupt, is that a premium rate number you want me to call ? Get them to call me"

CS " It's £1.02 per minute"

FQ slams down the phone in anger.

Up early today, sleeves rolled up ready for a battle.

Sun shining hope everyone has a great day.

Should be 1400 / 1100 = 27.27%

Hello to everyone on this gorgeous morning!

Frequent, hope the battle goes well !

Thanks RootedNomad for the link to the printable coupons, will use if my store has no leaflets.

MMW, everyone gets anxious about things at some point. But you know, that this is the best thing for that toe, so hugs from me to you as well.

Read on the misprices thread, that packs of 6 niknaks, 4934 have been reduced to 52p, AND also going through as BOGOF this morning. Sorry, don't know store size. I'll look for some of these today

Have a very good day everybody.

Thanks Taz & Mad, to early for math.

Think this is a scam the insurance company use year on year.

They offer online price, you pay deposit.

3 days later you get email saying you have made a mistake and they hike ~£250 onto price.

Did it to me last year and trying same crap again.

Fight it is then.

Just in car on way to work
Bonjovibel sorry to hear about your trouting
There must be some reason you are on their radar
However you could argue that you saw the promotional stand and although you picked them up from the shelf you assumed THAT sel hadn't been updated
Don't feel embarrassed their sels were incorrect, customers shouldn't be expected to run around checking which price is correct, especially when half the flipping pricecheck machines are knackered
Hope your ok x

Ps I would email Philip Clarke
Dont get a refund just yet on the razors

Tricia89- hope your move into your new flat went well yesterday.
