That was me, i sent them ya by mistake, would you be so kind to send em back :rotfl::D well done though wherever they came from
Its horrid isnt it :rotfl: i looked for the scales the other day but didnt see em, was there any left ?
Yes, a whole row of them. Although it's got clipstrip on the sel, they are on a 'hook' row. There is a clipstrip of some different ones next to them but the sel is £5 and they scanned at that. HTH. Lots of the tinned tomatoes as well but no mags. Printed ones scanned fine as did the A2 ones.0 -

I usually get a nob of ginger which comes out at 2 or 3 pence and a couple of chillis and 10 pence sweets. Most SA's are too busy thinking about what to cook for tea, than be bothered about what I am buying. One onion is not embarrassing as it could be that you are a woman living on your own and you only need one. Ginger too, I hardly ever use the stuff, so if I did buy a decent amount, it would only go mouldy.
:D;) Tinned own brand Mushy peas and sweet pickle Asda own brand are other fillers which are not that bad - in fact, we prefer asda own brand pickle to Branston!:cool: 0 -

Well I'm not remotely too embarrassed to buy single onions, carrots, parsnips etc.

I never get asked but if they comment, I would just say I make up soups and as a single person can't be doing with too much of it.
I now have a fridge bursting with cheese - my office are going to be delighted tomorrow when I come in with another round of presents!
Thanks to everyone who posts lists - they're great for ideas on fillers as I have to stop buying flumps etc before I have to buy new clothes!0 -

A small nob goes a long way, if used correctly. Oooher!

I work two days a week with young kids, so I gather up a bag of my flumps and giant (what's giant about them? they are didi)
buttons and refresher bars and put them out for everybody to enjoy on a monday morning. Cheers everyone up. 0 -
Its not when someone does not get it with me, everyone gets confused at some stage its when the question has been answered 3 or 4 times in the last couple of pages :eek:.Iamsohappy wrote: »CoT you just posted what many are thinking :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
So generally unless they are on their phone I just skip over it
