I know what you mean. I also got a tax refund this week which was more than I was expecting, it's covered a lot of bills in the nick of time. This bonus is going on a tank of petrol (just before my 10p a ltr off expires) and baking ingredients (I'm making 2 cakes next week) :j

I know it's trivial, but I'm quite relieved.

thanks for the reminder - I had a sainsbobs womble petrol receipt to use as well

Another big fan of Terry Pratchett, he actually had time to talk to people at signings, Stephen King barely acknowledges people.

Funny thing today. I was in T's with the hand scanners scanning a few things and I thought I'd scan the Mars bars that were 25p the other day. I scanned them yesterday and they scanned at £1, today, 25p :T Grabbed 20 packs. Imagine my shock when I went to the till and they came back at £1.50 :eek: Called SA over, explained what had happened and he spoke to a supervisor who told him to override the price to 25p
Similar thing yesterday. I scanned the £1.50 Easter eggs and they scanned at £3! Thought I'd found a DTD, but went through the till At £1.50

I had another success with £2 GC in A earlier today. Purely a set of chance circumstances that led to me buying the errant item (very likely an error on the SEL specific to my store - then again, I suppose you never know as they clearly have printed a shelf edge ticket with the lower price than actuality:D on it). I was paying with an APG - couldn't find a lower value APG that I thought I still had but must have already used it, so had to use a bit bigger one and pay 50p more. I went to one A - it was OOS of the item I really wanted, so I popped up the road to the other A. Both stores were well OOS of any Princes Tunas now so couldn't buy 2x them.

So I had a look around - and saw a Yazoo milkshake - the Vanilla version marked on the shelf with a big yellow 50p price, all the other flavours marked with yellow 54p. That was ideal in getting me the extra 50p spend I needed. I thought it was strange that one of the flavours was 50p but all the others were 54p. It seemed to me like a SEL error, so I went and bought the item that had this strange situation:D. It scanned at 54p. Now paid the 4p excess over the APG but, pure set of chance circumstances at CS again, she refunded the amount I "shouldn't" have paid and immediately went on to give a giftcard.

Got back more than I paid. The same as when I went and got some frozen choc. puddings for someone - after moaning about how expensive they were:mad: and not wanting to get them, I went and saw them on the shelving anyway and saw the old price of £1 was still on them (went through at £1.19:D). Pure chance, as if they hadn't asked me for choc. puddings I would never have gone to that area of the store!

However, on this occasion, the Milkshake and rest of my shop isn't really better than free but merely just free. I notice they've increased the price of petrol again - another 1p per litre:(, to add to the 1p per litre that they rose only on Monday. And further two increases of a few weeks ago. Seems like giving with one hand but taking with the other:( - I also noticed the £1 Golden Delicious (600g:() apples have gone down to 94p, but any 6p 'saved' on your shopping there (and I was overpaying when I bought some last week:() is immediately taken back if you drive and buy the petrol. Those r'backs that are now slightly below £1 rather than at the £1 price - but the few pence they're 'giving' immediately taken away by any price increases on fuel. So, the few pence 'better than free' from my shopping today - I'm sure I'll buy that number of litres very soon and thus make the shopping merely just free. So, that's what I'm treating it as - not better than free but any amount made given straight back to them on the petrol price increase.

That's a 4p per litre increase now!:(:( Four separate increases of 1p per litre each over the last few weeks. The incrementalism of a little bit, that people can bear, even if the final outcome would never have been accepted so easily! It's seems nearly any, or almost any, price cuts on fuel earlier in the year have now in effect been reversed. All the cuts - prices increased right back again:(.

I'm trying though - to get more back given this situation! If the first store I went to had not been OOS, I would never have gone onto the second and would probably never have found the milkshake with the wrong price on it. I would never have looked around if they had had the 25p Princes Tuna, and wouldn't have ever looked for an item of 'the right price' or bought it if I'd still had that lower APG:cool:.

So, there we are - some "50p" milkshake (after the 4p back to the SEL price) that pays £2 back (net -£1.50) - way to go!
