I have managed to get my reduced price huge sack of potatoes on their 'display until' date again. In fact, I have done even better this time than my wildest dreams (apart from being actually paid to take them that is). I happened to be in M earlier. I was in town visiting another supermarket nearby for the things I need and thought I'd pop to M (virtually next door) to see if there were any 12.5Kg potatoes knocked down on their last date as I was coming up to running out. I found several bags but they were still full price:(. Nonetheless, I mentioned to CS that they were there and asked if they were going to be reduced. CS rang through to the produce section - the person was on their lunch but, surprise surprise, hadn't noticed them and would knock them down when they returned in 15 minutes. I waited around, went back to the other supermarket (I have to pretend at least to be there as I am using their car park:rotfl:), came back, went back again and came back and... still no reduced stickers on them:(. I gave up, went home and thought I'd come back after teatime, imagining they would have their reduced stickers on them and be risking people buying all of them. I went back this evening, hopefully before people have bought them all, only to find the bags all still there and disappointingly no reduced stickers on them yet:(. I went round the store, back again, still nothing happening (despite being told by CS this afternoon that they were there) - eventually, after over half an hour, I plucked up courage (and it does take it with me, the words I want to say never come out right) to ask one of the staff if they were able to do reductions on produce and pointed the bags out. They directed me to someone else, who had been reducing bread to 75p prices. With that, I thought I had no chance of a decent price. However, there were quite a few bags on their date there (more than half the stock in fact) and they got out their calculator which, based on how many were there and how little time of the day they had left to sell them, came up with the answer...
It was less than 50p for twelve and a half kilograms of potatoes!:D:T:T:j
At that price, I would have bought more than one bag - having discovered they last for a long time in the fridge. The member of staff disappeared, conferring with several colleagues before and after, came back and left one bag priced at the under 50p price whilst I was walking slightly somewhere else in the store, but I came back and saw it was there. Just that one bag - the other several by then had been taken away and not returned. Of course I put that one bag into my trolley and went and bought it, unloaded it into the car, came back, the other several bags still not there. After a few minutes, I wasn't waiting around, I gave up - I have no idea what happened to the bags, probably bought, one each, by the members of staff at that stage but at least one of them was kind enough to leave me the one bag I needed, probably in order to avoid a complaint had they taken all the bags and not returned any after I told them I wanted to buy a couple - so I'm happy, very happy, with the one bag at under 50p! I will just have to do the same again next month now:rotfl:.
I now buy the huge bags, but only on reduction on their 'expiry' date. They then last up to two months in the fridge although we use one in about a month. Therefore, if I can manage this every month or so, I only now need to buy potatoes twelve times a year. If I manage this price every time, I've worked out I will pay less than £6 for potatoes over the whole year! A far cry from bags of 2.5Kg potatoes at £1.19:eek: and having to buy them again after a few days. A huge saving on potatoes. I doubt I will get the sub-50p price every time (and at least it covers for the fact I travelled back to the store, so had to make more than one journey) - but, even if I manage "half price" £2.50, or even £2 which I was prepared to pay:eek: - it's still a good saving:money:. Tonight's price was fantastic really - we've had people buying two tins of potatoes and paying more than that:rotfl::rotfl:! And at least I do not have to bother about potatoes on their date tomorrow at my six Ms when I stand probably no chance of finding any!
EDIT: Gosh, I have written a lot:eek::eek:! I imagined this post in my head after i bought them (I bought them at about 8 o'clock) and it was only two sentences:rotfl:.0 -
