Saw somebody with a packet of Pom Bears in their trolley yesterday in A and had to smile (for those who've been around long enough to remember the other Mumsnet thread ).

Warning - it's a slow burn, but well worth it for the account of the rematch. I think it was tweets who originally posted it on here? It's not rude like the mug one though.

Glitch in expresses.....buy four twin packs of kleenex balsam and discount comes off twice. Has been reported as not working in some expresses, not all expresses sell it but my local work one does and it has been confirmed as still working this morning. £3.24 for 8 boxes

Very interesting conversation with a SA in T who was stocking up the Special K. I was just having a nose at the SEL labels and mentioned that someone had told me they were on offer. She just giggled and said oh yes they were 3 for £2 for a few hours yesterday. I pretended I hadn't got any and she said T have so much stock of Special K and they are classed as a seasonal item (people want to diet for summer etc) so tesco do a price mishap to get rid of them. I said oh wasn't it a mistake and she replied "never..."

Bull! Why did they rush to take stock off or to do store corrections if it wasn't a mistake?!? Why not just reduce to 69p a box and do a massive promo?! Total rubbish!

Anyone know if Special K is still working today on APG?

Agreed. It was a mistake

Otherwise why clear shelves/cancel orders/fail to put out promo SELs

That's all very well, but how comes other stores dont do the same. I still think there is someone who works for T's that does the online prices and has a grudge against their employer :rotfl:

Thanks for this - I suspect that this may explain the discrepancy. I definitely bought 6 but there are only 5 shown on my receipt!

What was the 6th one that doesn't show please - so we know to avoid it

maybe sada was overstocked on ambrosia last year and devised a clever way to make us all buy them :think:
