Good on you!!:T

a lady in sainbees had cleared the whoopsie shelf and had nothing else in her trolley apart from reductions, she left it by the chiller cabinet and wandered off.....another guy came along thought it was the whoopsie trolley and started helping himself!!:rotfl::rotfl:

next question is for the chefs of the thread how do i freeze the mushrooms i brought with price flop voucher today please?
finally mini rant applied for the carling offer and got the refusal email,so cross as we are having a proper street party and we had already applied for big lunch pack months ago and we`re one of the first to apply to carling!have sent an email to them but doubt we`ll get anything.rant over.

Freezing mushrooms - I just wash them (if they need it), let them dry, slice them, bag them, put them in the freezer. Simples.

I wouldn't usually have gone there, as obviously driving is out of the question but with the power cut and the noise from the road being dug up it seemed like a great idea Shame I can't live a pure and chaste life like some, oh well never mind the same person will be doing the same thing again tonight.........

:eek:
You're going back tonight to see if she's there again?!

Got to say everyone has different views on what you did;) And I can seriously see both sides, BUT and it's a big but, I would probably have done the same thing as I have a very naughty streak in me sometimes;):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:And I don't think I'd even venture in T's at whoopsie time if I'd have had a glass or two of something because I'd probably cause chaos;):rotfl::rotfl:

I was the one who poured the yogurt, and I would do it again!

Whilst I can reason with both sides, I dont see why one shopper should have the right to grab everything in sight, whilst it is clear others would like something. Even if someone's circumstances are so dire, so too could be one of the other shoppers trying to get a look in, who would be happy with just one whoopsie, and not given the chance. I dont see how the poor CS assistant marking down the stuff could be expected to get involved (I think they are brave enough at whoopsie time).

Some people are totally greedy. If there was no-one buying the whoopsies, yes tip the lot in the trolley, but when there are others, it is civilised to share.

Never had a problem with them being soggy - just make sure they are dry before you freeze them (assuming you have to wash them first) or they might be. Normally just bung them straight into an omelette or spag bol or the such.

Fancy meeting up in that store and we can quietly work as a tag team to distract her and pilfer stuff out of her trolley

Oh nooooooo more bad stuff, O/H is sunbathing outside and he heard the ice cream man, he asked for a magnum and gave me £3 saying get yourself one, I went to the freezer got him a magnum and me a ribena lolly and gave him 50p change, good job he never looks in the freezer

Love it! He should have given you the 50p change for "going."

Freezing mushrooms - I fry them with chopped onions then I add a tin a chopped tomatoes, season and freeze in containers. This a good base for many sauces such as bolognese or lasagne but we also eat it on its own with spaghetti and cheese sprinkled on top.
