Me and my mum were only talking about it this morning. We were debating which aisle we would hit first. Obviously meat and booze would be mine

I can remember recording it on the old VHS recorders when I worked full time

Dog food , coffee and choc mine :rotfl::rotfl:

Question for you folks- does the smarties cones trick still work and if so what is a good one to buy alongside? TIA

It did yesterday, I will know again today at 6.55pm;)

Oreoes compare £2 vs £1.24 so do nobbly bobblies, not sure if there's anything else.

SORRY FOLKS - The cheese doesn't work & just realised that this put the rest out. The coke/Dr Pepper shows on receipt as 2 for £2, Pizza as 2 for £4 and Cheese as 2 for £5 (even though they were taken from the lot that had 2 in & the one that had loads)

Glitching somewhat - canNOT understand what they have done with the coke/Dr Pepper???

I reckon dr pepper zero and sprite zero will glitch together, your problem was if you get coke you need 2 to trigger the bogof at T.

"Well, wombling took a turn for the worse today. After spending a few wombles and leaving the store I was approached by a store security officer who said I'd been seen on camera a number of times walking around the car park wombling.

He asked me why I was picking up receipts to which I replied I was just picking up rubbish. He knew exactly what was going on as he then said If you continue to do it they would refuse the use of them in the store.

Now for the bad part. He also said that All A's are fully aware of this 'hobby' after having been alerted to a website posting details online recently and anyone found using them would be refused entry/use of.

Would be very interested to hear what MSE think of this considering the original news story is now a couple of years old."

I think so - it worked the last time I tried it, which was not that long ago (last week?). This one can be credited to myself - I was the first to post about it several months ago:D. (I lost out on that first occasion, as it was all I bought. But I've been clawing it back ever since...:rotfl:)

I've got to rush off to Mr A's now for my shopping. One good one is R White Lemonade Lollies - £1.00 in T until 8/7.

Beyond that - if you can allow me to wait;) - I'll go through all of what is in the 2 for £3 and list the ones with the most difference. (I was to look at the versus Sainsbobs comp but I think the ice creams/lollies are now on 2 for £3 there:( - I was to have looked through them before my last 'vs S' shop but didn't have time. Quite busy tonight but time will return between now and tomorrow morning folks!!:D:))
