More on there too, looks like they're just removing the ones with silly price tags.

We could have sold our tickets to the Da Vinci exhibition for fiat but luckily decided against it.

Much richer for the experience.:)

Must go and get dinner sorted
Forgot to say I expected all the chef aid stuff to be reduced after hearing about the pizza cutter and tongs, tried the egg slicer , boo! Full price!
Wonder if it is a glitch or if like the lighters they will be going down to 1p in a couple of weeks?

However that's not what happened with the sild?! Nit even as if they changed the packaging in that one, I fully expected it to go to 1p and was teasing my sis about the 300 approx cans she bought that she would regret when they went down to 1p which never, she is laughing at me now for not stocking up!

Also same with the drumsticks, they aren't vegan any away but great for giving out at work and school, what do you guys reckon? I'm leaving them at the moment as nothing other than 1p seems a reasonable price to me anymore lol!

Dinnner today was salmo with feta and a hint of mint. Lovely it was too! Afters was ice cream with strawberries and cherries (both whoopsied of course) I was surprised with the ice cream - its the bradwells one that glitched a while back - it doesn't have a dramatically high fat content.

per 100g.....7.9g fat of which saturates 5.4g....seems low for ice cream?

Why do you think there are so many glitches in Ts and not the others
I would have thought with Ts being so mahoosive they would have more up to date systems
Or is there just more of us hunting down finds at Ts ?
Do many of us go round scouring shelves at A's like we do at T's?:cool:

is cos tesco gives us DTD , asda give you £2, sainsbury dont give you anything.

MMW is right - DTD can be a huge incentive for hunting down the glitches/misprices.

But I also think there are far more glitches at T because they have a pricing strategy which is deliberately manipulative - within the space of only a couple of weeks prices or offers on single product lines can change several times. Designed to lull the customer into thinking they are getting a bargain but certainly also makes it much harder for the IT and shopfloor staff to always keep up and get the tills and sels right. Hence the reason that they have the DTD policy in the first place. And as has been pointed out time and time again, T is no slouch in terms of data gathering and interpretation, so taking into account glitchy prices and DTD payouts, Ts will on average come in way ahead.

S and A have much more stable pricing structures and their offers tend to be for longer periods, so easier to maintain pricing integrity.

she was given a fair bit of stick on the mega thread (posts since removed) for clearing the shelves and voved to keep her finds to herself in future.....shot themselves in the foot there!:eek:

As well as clearing the shelves, s/he put up the full barcodes too originally.

BTW, those folding black crates are now priced at £2.97
