    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Emailed Customer Service about the lack of availabilty on a numbers of items - it has been an ongoing issue at my local T's for sometime. Shelves are empty, advised by store staff - that no enough staff to fill them.

    Just had to laugh at their response. "Quite simply the reason the shelf is empty is because a previous shopper has bought the item":D

    No it wasn't any of the 1p items either, ordinary day to day shopping which I was actually prepared to pay real money for :eek:

    Members of the two largest teaching unions, the NUT and the NASUWT, held a one-day strike. I thought it was all over.

    Just googled and it was just North West today, other areas different days - don't know why.

    Another 1p hunting session this afternoon to top up yesterdays haul.

    Managed 11 Vegetable crisps, 8 more nuts and 66 Thai Sensations. Whilst going through the SS the SA approached and asked If i'd left any on the shelf. Trying to shield the screen from view just said yes loads (49 packs left) I'm having a party. Fortunately he then moved on :D

    Have scanned Spring Time in 4/5 stores over past couple of days, all at £1.30.

    hello , culd u post bar code and size /grams of crisp or a photo if u can plz thankyou:A:T:o

    We are visiting carluccios in Birmingham on Saturday and treating DD to a meal out. Break from uni food:)

    Can't find any vouchers anywhere and apparently I've already had my free tastecard trial. Anyone got any other ideas to bring the cost down?:)

    Oh no my lovely young lady friends. Can't you order another tastecard trial in someone else's name, like your DD, mind you it will be too late to order it now won't it?

    Is there anywhere else you can go? Carluccio's is nice but terribly expensive. What about a Strada or a Prezzo or something like that where they normally have a buy one get one free voucher?

    Was anyone in Leeds today? They were giving out a free burrito to everyone at a new Barburrito store. Mmmmm.
