    In Sainsburys Market in Victoria they had Jelly Belly jelly beans reduced from £16.49 per kg to 10p per kg but they'd all gone :(


    may I ask if these were loose pick and mix type? (as you say they are per KG) I can only find small bags of them.

    buy one smartie in the pick and mix section for 1p
  • Are these only in specific cities and towns or are they likely to be nationwide?

    Also will they be labelled at 1p/2p or will I have to wait until I get to the self scan?

    Yes they were, I can only assume they're getting rid of it altogether?
    Gutted I'd missed it, could've filled a bag for what would've cost about 6p!

    When I worked in ASDA we were not allowed to put anything on the shelf that scanned at 2p. THis means it is withdrawn from sale for whatever reason.

    Clearance stock in B&Q is refered to as penny stock or zero price items these items are removedfrom the shelves but can be sold by local management.
