Just bought pink table confetti @ £1.00, and got 75 points.

Hmm... There are 31 other items linked to the same offer. But point of sale does not print for any of them... And the other 31 do not seem to kick in the points. Not sure why (where is Spa2k when ya need him ).

As for end date... I would keep hunting out the pink hearts for a few more weeks yet

I saw something similar in my tesco (northampton) but as staff were in the middle of moving stuff around - there was no stock - just empty shelves with some sel lables.

They were in the stationery aile and sel looked something similar to:

?so many? extra points
price
describtion

I do remember a storage file (like to store bills ect in) as i looked twice at this and worked out the points and this was priced at £17.00 with 400 extra points.

Will try to have another look tomorow as they may have fininshed moving stuff around and re-stocking shelves.

Is that at Mereway or Weston Favell (or is there another Northampton Tesco that I don't know about)?

People buying this instore, anyone try buying £1000s over the internet. Phoned them up at Tesco.com, said no problem, buy as much as you want, any catches. Saving up for a hoilday for the kids, this could certainly boost the old points situation. Thanks in advance.

it won't work - if you place an order at Tesco.com then they pick the produce (or in this case confetti) from your local store - meaning if they don't have stock there they won't deliver any....OR WORSE STILL they might offer a substitute which would be amusing - Tesco delivery person says "...here are 1000 bags of Gold Confetti..." (which have no bonus points on)

I'm afraid you need to find these in your local store.

Edit - just because the confetti is out of stock doesn't mean you are totally lost - you could buy the Table Trivia or cocktail umrellas which are still in a lot of stores (£1.50 to buy) as this will effectively double your money in deals (75 extra points worth £3 in deals) - it's ok if you are saving up for a holiday or a car as it means you will effectively pay half price.

Good luck!

Has anybody ever tried the reverse of shop-lifting? Smuggling the stuff back into the soph and buying it again?
