    Grabbed seven black ink tesco epsom cartridges yesterday for 1p each, a huge saving, probably about a tenner each normally.

    Also the tesco seasonal finest 150g crisps (turkey, chedder) are still out there and checking out at 27p. I came home with a few, sel says £1.29 or similar.

    Found my first 1p bargain in Tesco... got to the till and they refused to sell it to me.

    I used self-scan for my 1p books. Mind you, if I had gone through the till, I might have tried to argue the point, depending upon what sort of mood I was in.
