Went to 2 Extras this morning ,1st one Harpic marked up at 20p but shelf empty ,Lime lite gel marked up at 50p but went through at £2.00 so got dtd on them.
Everything else on the list scanned at full price.
Went to the other T's and bingo ,everything marked at full price but scanned at the cheaper price.
I always thought the pricing was the same in them all ,but obviously not.
Thanks op , saved a lot of money.

Does anyone know if bag reuse counts as 1 of the 10 items on self scan?
This is the second time I've not had a price promise (not that it bothered me as everything in my basket was reduced )
I had 9 items (all different barcodes, I checked) and the 10th thing would have been bag reuse

I may have lost out on the Harpic and had a hissy fit BUT I've just got the job I interviewed for on Tuesday

4-6 week contract with the possibility of filming/working in the States. Can't quite believe it. I start tomorrow!

How exciting! Well done you :T

Thanx, I must have missed that.
Luckily I've only ever managed to stuff up this way when I'm not trying to get a PP, I'm just being nosey to see what actually compares
You learn something new every day

Just a little reminder - as it is not mentioned in the 5:2 book and needs to be....

Pure grapefruit juice is known to interfere with the absorption of at least 40 different medications - such as heart and blood pressure medication.:eek: So be careful with which parts of the plan you follow if you are taking medication. The jury is out re tamoxifen - so best not to consume grapefruit juice or pieces at all I think if on medication. HTHS

Otherwise fill your boots folks.

I ve been on statins for a number of years because of hereditary high cholesterol then a few years ago " Do not eat grapefruit with these tablets " appeared on the box yet it was always ok before, Strange.

Popped down to T's this morning, got a few of the cleaning bits, all priced as promised, and the Anchor pack. Also picked up 4 of the iced coffees, duly paid 29p each to take them away Be warned though, the vouchers do not scan on self scan, and it took two SAs to figure out how to put them through :eek:

Walked past 2 boxes of Jacobs Savouries (San***rst) - could not have got them home even if I needed them!
