Yeah - but even at 90p for 500g (and 10% off that), I'm still not having it! Preferring 750g ones at £1.30 whenever that happens again.0 -

Giving up on the coke coupon i must have a stupid computer or its me.
Yes but these are a risk on APG etc. as always have different sizes on meat items, and have to be careful with fixed vs variable wt etc. (do not compare unless both stores are fixed OR both are variable) and 10% weight ranges. I think it was £1.75/kg for some 1.5+ kg ones in M - that from memory, will need to go and check my illicit details:D, but right now more concerned with DW glitching and finding items that will pay me on Avs S, sorry.0 -

I handed it in. I never did find out if it got claimed. I do hope so. There were tons of old people in there that day
You've just reminded me about DD wombling a few weeks back.
She found a phone in a basket at the SS till we were about to use.
It was a hefty samsung (note? is that a phone?) and it looked an expensive bit of kit.
We handed it straight to the SA who popped it to the CSD and they were all trying to figure out how to find the last number dialled to contact the owner.
Didn't find out whose it was or if it was claimed (although I assume it was).

I wombled £35 wrapped up in some receipts in Ts. I was told to go back after 6 weeks to check if it had been claimed.
I did and it hadn't been claimed so they said their policy meant I could keep it.
Mr Tinyshoes wombled 6 really nice garden chairs from the posh part of town on sunday. He was out on a bike ride and they had a sign on free to good home so not sure if that counts. :rotfl:
Oh and he didn't carry them home on his bike took 2 trips in the car, lucky they were still there. :j0
