I know this is slightly unusual on this thread at the moment, but I have just been to T's. They have just finished refurbing it and they are now doing scan & shop! It must have knocked about 20 minutes off my shop, but are there any problems with this regarding things like potential DTDs or the such that I should know about? Obviously if I am targetting a DTD I will use a normal till, but I noticed that a 6 pack of Brains Faggots that were marked down to £1 first scanned at £1.48 and then went down to £1 at the payment point - would this have been a DTD otherwise?

We have got Shop & Scan at our store and I love it.

Sometimes the prices are wrong. I think that it is if there has been a recent price change. I have scanned stuff and then seen a difference at the till. If it is higher, then I have just gone to CS and said that it scanned at diffreent price to what it actually went through till at.

I have got DTD when using scanner, so no need to use normal till.

One downside is that like the self scan tills, you never get a till spit.

I'm sorry to quote myself. I was beyond tired last night when I posted these, and I couldnt work out why one of the cereals on each shop didnt compare....is this because I had 6 cereals plus robinsons?

Yes, mix aand match all you like between working products but total of your working products and the trigger must be in 3's.

hopefully not a case of TMI for this thread, but first baby due in Nov and completely clueless as to what I need. I've already stocked up on bathtime items, but do you get through lots of nursing pads or do I just need a couple of boxes. Storage isn't an isssue !

everyone is different - I used them for a year:eek:
i needed them from as soon as i knew i was PG until the baby was about 3 months and my milk dried up.:o

the neutrogena that you bought that isnt on the comparison , where is it on the receipt? is it at the bottom?

i did a shop and when i went to pay my shopping was less than my voucher as some things had scanned for less than they should have. i then threw in a pack of maltesers and I had 2p to pay . But, the strange thing is, on the comparison, there's no maltesers!!!!!

so, to summarise....SA pressed total, scanned maltesers then pressed total again.
results page dont show maltesers anywhere.

i wonder if this is what happened to you.?

Could maltesers at the checkout display come under kiosk? Which doesn't show?

hi honey

good luck for november..

the boxes of johnsons pads are 30 to a box i think and you should at least change them once a day (possibly more at the start til your milk flow regulates) so if you have 30 in a box thats 15 days(1 box divided by 2 boobies) so about 2 boxes a month. I use the tommee tippee ones they come in box of 50 got my last lot after the last asda event for £1 a box. i have at a point had 8-10 boxes in the cupboards as i am still feeding mine at 15 months so prob gone thru 15-20 boxes maybe.

hope that helps and sorry if anyone offended by booby talk :rotfl:

It really depends on your milk flow too... I had to change mine at least every feed, so roughly every 2 hours. But with both my babs I had a LOT of milk. The 30 boxes didn't last me much more than a day - I bought the 100's from Boots instead. (2 a week lol)

Think ketchup has to be on a separate shop, that compares with tesco.

The cereal compares with Waitys
