'Think of the thread as a tree, many branches to it, and not all of us, need all the branches, but we do need the tree!' - midwinter
New overflow thread for 11+ers
THE FOLLOWING IS COPIED FROM ORIGINAL FIRST POST ON PREVIOUS THREAD
This is yet another bargain/glitch/DTD/JTD/misprice thread!
We know it's in the 'Gone But Not Forgotten' section!
We know there are at least 2 other threads in which we could post!
Yes, we do talk a lot!
No, not all of what we say is Tesco related or even of interest to many others but this is the way this thread has formed.
Many of us want to discuss the various deals to be had but this was not appreciated on the main Grabbit forum. As such, we now use this thread to talk about anything from how to cook a baked potato to how to get 1p or 4p items through self-scan as quickly as possible. We also discuss ex-husbands and wives, kids and animals. If you have a medical problem we'll nag you until you go to the Doctor. If you're not feeling well we'll provide support, a wee hot drink and whatever chocolate is currently glitching to cheer you up.
And finally, yes we know that some people try to obscure the store names but this works both ways. It might make it difficult for those who don't have the time to sit here and natter all day but it also makes it difficult for staff/managers to quickly identify any issues at their store.
We do try to remember to post new deals in bold. We don't like arguing so we're not going to take umbrage if one or two deals slip through.
Now sit back, relax and feel free to join in. We don't bite (unless you ask nicely), we will help wherever possible and you don't have to post new deals just to feel like part of the group.
Please put all your finds in bold with LAST 4 DIGITS OF barcode and photo if possible so we can chat & still speed read for bargains.
