Wasn't there once treble points on bananas that gave you more money back than the value of the goods ?

Yes, ive meant to post about this tesco MTR :lol:

My mum, being one of the 'top girls' on the tesco machine circuit has been on this for weeks. Although needless to say she didnt pass it on on to me till :!: it was critical'd

Although as of yesterday, some shops havnt been 'chipped' and may be the same today/tomorow.

Really though it was on moneysavingexpert or similar around 4 days ago and my mum did have a bit of it, hence the cupboards now being stocked with tomatoe's in a rich tomato sauce with olive oil and garlic :( not exactly my cup of tea.

The shelves over here have been cleared a long time ago.

It was published in the Platinum rinse section some days ago, but Big Mouth Bertha then told everyone at bingo on Sunday after a few glasses of sherry. Only a matter of time since then that the re-fruit wouldn't be far away. A few have been at those 24 hour Tescos getting the last bit of value out of it but they've all gone now.

I recall something similar - although a bit more planned, happening at Safeway a few years back - they'd actually give you 10p to take a can of their baked beans with your shopping. :)

Which is exactly what they had been doing here only its 59p.

The problem was buy one get 2 free so 59p + 59p +59p - £1.18. The glitch came about as every packet gave the £1.18 discount.

SICK RAISE!
