    I managed to get 12 tins of beans today, 3 each for my cousin, my friend and me to try.
    I decided to ask about their bulk buy policy before I bought and the duty manager said that it was all down to perception of what would be classed as a bulk purchase, she said that if you wanted more than was on the shelf you would need to ask if there was any more and also depends on why you are buying so much :eek: she said that as long as they were for yourself she had no problem and if quantities exceeded 50 she would recommend ordering at CS. I must admit I was very surprised at this and told her how helpful she was and that in other branches I was told it was 6 of any item, she said that so long as they were paid for and not a special offer she didn't mind :D

    DS found windows office 2010 product keys cards for 1 p (in the plastic security boxes) but they scanned at 0p :eek: :D the sale was automatically cancelled at SS so we were told to go to another till and girl noticed that they went through free but didn't bat an eye we told her the price on the shelf but she said "they're coming up free so here you go!" I put my beans through too so at least I'd have the receipt i case we got stopped. DS needed one of these anyway and I'm happy it didn't cost me anything :rotfl:
    Will post pic when I find camera.
    The office cards are no good, they have been free for ages. When we scratched one off it didn't work. They are supposed to come with a laptop I think.
    They also need activating, bit like a gift card.

    I should set a new one up?

    I have a personal one for friends, etc, and one purely for shopping which all the companies want to advertise on.:)

    Yeah we had a great time, kids wanted to do the driving school first so that's where we went lol
    My MSE tip for the day is if you don't have your own drinks or don't feel like carrying them about all day, buy a drink bottle on a lanyard they are £6 but get unlimited refills all day! :) we bought 1 and let's just say with a family of 5 we had our money's worth of refills :)

    Couldn't believe some family being so wasteful with 4 kids and buying 4 drink bottles! So they paid £24 for the kids to get bored of carrying them so 3 got shoved in a bag and they just filled 1! They obviously have more money than sense!

    Yeah I have to agree with the drinks bottles being worth it. I have the Merlin year long bottle. I have noticed that at the end of the day the daily bottles just get thrown on the floor or bin on the way out. :eek: If you visit again this year take that bottle again with you in a bag. Then you could get it refilled for free as you can fill it up in the restaurant by the pirate falls as this is SS. :)

    Well the final result from my 15 wombles was:

    3 x 'Great news blah blah blah cheaper'
    3 x 'Despite your receipt being stuffed full of items that you are quite sure are sold everywhere else, we are not going to compare it for you :)'
    9 x 'have some free money' totalling £11.69.

    Not a bad result - that trip to asda got me six tins of free beans, plus a tenners worth of shopping for £3.47 and £11.69 back. Yay!
    No, Mr A, that is NOT 'Great news'!!:D

    Wombling totals: Oct = £243.32 - £93.32 over target!
    Nov Wombling Tally: £27.36 so far... behind target :(

    All my bs stuff was present and correct :D

    The Japanese cherry blossom stuff smells lovely, so I think I might be keeping on of them for me :)

    I had an email from sweatshop to say that my order has been dispatched. They are refunding my postage fee too. Good customer service from them :)
