    Don t underestimate what they notice though. The guy who stands by a desk thing by the entrance can zoom right in and there are lots of cameras you can't even see. I know you wouldn t be doing anything wrong as such but believe me they don t miss much . Mind you I'm just speaking for my Local Tesco

    A shovel I think



    It's a huge box:rotfl:

    This is going to be amusing. Daughter signed up to Quidco and organised her £1 Sada delivery for the night of move in date of the new flat - fingers and toes crossed they get there now - I sent her the link for the soap powder as she said she had totally run out and had had to buy some :eek: - possibly first time ever - so timing was excellent.
    So she has 2 on her order - I am convinced she does not realise they are 4kg washes :rotfl: - her face will be a picture when they arrive :D
    Well at least she is grasping the idea of starting a stock pile :T

    Hmm I'm still pondering my idea. Perhaps several snapshots will make me look less conspicuous than sweeping the shelves with my phone. I could take from a distance then zoom in. Maybe I could try to look like I'm texting :cool: :D

    This is what I did at my local T Metro. I took photos with my phone of all the biscuits stocked. I was fed up of finding triggers/glitching items not stocked.

    I would like to think that I looked no different to someone texting as I strolled down the aisle - rather than Lights, Camera, Action :D

    He does have a point dip. I realised this a while back.....although I'm far from cured :o I don't chase 1p items because quite honestly it's a waste of 1p for me. They won't get eaten. Ive long since stopped wasting petrol on things I usually won't get.
    £1 clothes is a different matter though :D you can never have enough cheap clothes
    It is an addiction and not necessarily a bad one if you can use it to your advantage. I think it's just a matter of finding a balance? Mine is found for me because I'm restricted as to how much I can get out shopping

    I wrote this reply last night before the forum went into maintenance (its still on my browser this morning :) )

    See the £1 clothes is where me and DH disagree.
    DD has a wardrobe full of cheap stuff now but the way I see it, her clothes cost me peanuts so I have more to spend on DS1 whose stuff is probably gonna cost an arm and a leg as he's so tall :mad:
    Kids grow out of stuff so quick DD has stuff on order and sat in her wardrobe aged 13-14 and she's only just into double figures :rotfl:

    Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

    Good Morning Peeps and Peepettes 49.gif

    Have a lovely day everyone.

    I wanted to go to T's early, but have to wait in for plumber as we have a leak from the mains under the sink.

    I can't go later as there is a race meeting across the road from T, and congestion drives my stress off the scale.

    We are all now thinking of locations where T is close to race courses :D

    Thirsk???

    I've thought of a way to look thoroughly for possible glitches but not sure if I'd draw to much attention to myself. Has anyone else ever done this? Please tell if you have. My idea is to walk through the aisles and make a video with my phone showing products available on the shelves, prices and offers. This would enable me to spend as much time as needed making lists later at home and comparing prices and offers to MSL. It would be a good thing once I have the video but I'm just worried about how I'll look while getting it :undecided

    I suppose it depends how much attention you draw to yourself and how the staff in your store would react if you do? There are stories of stores not taking too kindly to such practices......remember Savvys experience in Morries? Some stores do have a disclaimer saying that it's illegal to photograph things in store.......it's not illegal, it's against their policy and the disclaimer only gives them the right to ask you to refrain from doing it.
    Interesting (if a little old) article

    DM....are there any left....just wondering if it's worth me calling in first thing:)
    I couldnt find any. I looked up, and down. They were just discarded half way back on a shelf behind some other chocs.
