    I've had them a few times in whoopsies. Usual one is ripped ham for making an ommelette etc. Its just bits of ripped ham rebranded though......tesco reinventing the wheel to make a few more quid as usual.

    Can you believe their prices. What a rip off. Put in that claim hun. If they want to charge premium rates for a postal service then it should be the dogs you know whats. I went to the post office a couple of days after they increased their postage prices and they told me they have never been so quite. There was no queue which was really unusual.

    £8.80 to deliver your parcel, and they could not manage it.

    Therefore you should be compensated:)

    Yes it is the Crown, it has proper beer according to my OH and is where many of the celebs would call into if they are wanting a touch of real life, it is practically opposite the Europa Hotel which if you ask anyone in the city they will point you in the right direction.

    many thanks .

    I think we'll need info on train stations etc ...what station to get off at from Carrick etc .
    I'm sure we'll spend a hour on line looking for info but there isn't anything as good as 1st hand knowledge .

    Celebs ...oh no , I like salt of the earth folk .
    Looks like a nice pint tho' . :beer:
    I was young once , now I get older all the time .

    Hi have you asked at customer service desk? They are supposed to be able to check on their system whether their store stocks the product you are looking for.

    I asked the guy stacking the prepacked meats in mine if they stocked them, he said no. Went a bit further along the aisle and there were packs of the turkey and stuffing. Very nice it was too, but only worth the £1 I paid for two packs imho.

    Well, I was true to my word and ventured out to a Metro!

    What a waste!:mad:

    First tried looking for the £1.79 pizzas and there were NO cheese ones left, so started looking for the 3 for £5 ones and again, NO cheese ones left!:mad:

    SA just told me to look in the aisle and didn't bother to check the back.:(

    So tried with a spinach stonebaked one which came to £3.xx at the till!:(:eek: It was at SS so I got it cancelled by helpful SA.

    Now went on the search for Ben and Jerry's deal to find NO garlic breads at all, not even a SEL for it, NO Chicago town pizzas at all, not even one flavour or type. :(

    So, on the hunt for the Birds eye deal, thought I'd found all the right items, but at the till, there were no dedctions and cost £6:eek::eek::eek:
    There weren't any omega 3 fish fingers so guessing that was the wrong item.:(

    Thought might as well go ahead with it as I had 3 value pizzas, first coupon went through OK at SS, 2nd and 3rd needed approval and helpful SA turned into trout after authorising both getting the total to £3.xx and then unauthorising it, after checking coupons:mad:

    :(

    Third time lucky I hoped, so got 1 value pizza, 1 elmea cream and some strawberry cheesecake. Took everything to manned till, SA scanned coupon and then asked another SA if this was O.K to use, :mad: she said no and she took the coupon off the total!:mad::(

    Came home with 1 Elmea cream!:(

    And to top it off, I got there at 7:40 and whoopsies were minimal and rubbish!:(

    And before I forget, to trump that too, I saw someone walking back whilst I was walking to Tesco with a T's bag of £1.79 pizzas!:(:o

    Hope you all had better Tesco days!:o
