    I saw a Gammon at wrong price yesterday and cause our CS is manned by a group of trouts I hid a joint for today.
    Well I went and got the joint this morning and did not go to Customer Services straightaway as the CS desk was manned by some of the usual trouts. Later on I went to the larger store nearby and got another joint for £15.78 and got DTD of £15.80 no problem. Lady could not have been nicer. So back to my local to find the worst trout on duty. Checked shelf and £4.99 labels still in place and 2 more £9.99 per lb joints at front of shelf. Went to CS and off she trotted and came back and fed me the line that the Smoked joints are not on offer. I said there are 2 labels and she said no there is one. I said ok then took my wrapping and receipt and left. ( I cooked the joint this morning in Pepsi Max and then roasted it with honey and mustard glaze for my Mum's visitors. i had a sandwich of it warm and it was lovely!!). Rang cs when i got home and they are sending me a £10.00 gift card and spun me the whole wrong item in wrong place routine. I did not pursue it further as it is my local store and I am fed up with complaining about them!!
    Is it illegal to advertise something as one price and to sell it for another. .

    Just back from T. 2 x DTD Gammon joints- Finest Wiltshire unsmoked, presume the same ones. CS wasn't convinced to start with but then gave me the money - £44 worth of free meet (and the points too

    Womble total tonight : 80 sodding pence

    Though I did find an ariel and a Levi roots for quidco

    Does quidco count towards wombling totals please?

    Savvy sal, well done on yours, that's excellent

    I won't be far behind you - most receipts are way cheaper at sada. I found a brilliant one (well it looked good anyway) but the !!!!!!!g thing was over 28 days old:mad::mad::mad:

    If I buy a couple bottles of spirits (that are 2 for £24 in tescos,) in Sainsburys, will they/do they usually compare? Many thanks.

    Should do

    S uses T.com not MSM so just check deal is on there

    Remember BM is capped at £10

    (And remember bag re-use too ;))
