    Got a great DTD.

    Colgate C200 Electric toothbrush £64 - OOD SEL 'better than half price' £25

    Picked one up, paid £65 with my bits of food, £40 overcharge, so £80 DTD at customer services without even being asked. Obviously an OOD SEL, but still worth looking out for.

    Free toothbrush and £55 profit :D:D:D
    I bought one while on offer and got a till spit as Asda had them for £20, still a good tooth brush IMO even if it does tickle the first few times of using it :rotfl:

    I didn't know about Dtd and I was overcharged on six packs of gift wrap on Friday night, they just refunded me the correct amount.

    Could you post the details of the gift wrap please?

    Ooh.....how did you get the £55 profit? If you paid £65 and got £80 DTD, that's £15 profit which is great but £55 would def be better!

    The difference between £25 and £64 is £39.
    £39 dtd is £78

    Dtd is the price of the difference between the price on the sel and the price charged

    Hope this helped

    I think clairebear1328's query was assuming you deduct the £64 paid from the DTD payment, which actually works out at £14 plus a free toothbrush, using your figures above. That's how I saw it anyway. Still a great deal though, not everybody can say that Tesco paid them to take an electric toothbrush away! :)

    So £78 back from customer services less the £65 actually paid is £13 profit. I think the op was thinking that they got £80 back from cs and the toothbrush should've been £25, but that wasn't actually what was paid.

    As I said being paid to take away a toothbrush or anything for that matter is awesome.

    Not my first post but can't remember other login lol.

    Just been to Tesco, picked up a glade sense and spray calming zen air freshener. Sel was £12 now £3. Scanned at £10 and spat out a voucher for £4.75 off my next shop. Only had a few other items nothing expensive or branded. Customer services gave dtd without prompting (£14) and removed the label from the shelf lol
