Mothercrae has tage one aptamil cartons at half price because they are close to expiry date.....

[popsycal]

Is this breaching the whatsit before I write in and get on my high horse?

TIA

I thought offers were not allowed on milk intended for under 6 mths too...

I would have thought so - I thought the rule was that they couldn't discount formula at all??

yes.

Wankers. Saddle up that high horse! And report them to babymilkaction too.

PARP

I thought so.

They have a nice little stash of aptamil stage 1 cartons at the check out reduced to half price.
I asked the assitant why and she said that they expire in 10 days.....

hmmmm

Go popsy

piffle can I ask where you cut and paste that from so that I can quote it please?

from here
act

I can supply name of said mothercare if anyone would like to join me....

Go for it, Popsy!

ok so i write to othercare.....but who else?
what was that site when the whole aptamil war broke out the other month...

www.babymilkaction.org was it?

Look - I know it's the law and all that, but do you call the police, and make a report everytime you see someone on the street doing anything that's 'antisocial' or vaguel illegal??

Sorry - but I just feel there are much more important things to worry about in life than whether Mothercare wants to get rid of it's baby milk before it goes off.............unless you just want even more rubbish in the landfill sites........

QoQ PARPS again and disappears back to discuss budget shopping

oh for fucks sake

And you're entitled to your opinion your royal parpiness and so are we

soprry for my language
but i am trying to do somehting that i think is right
rather than sit back and do nothing

QoQ, if it doesn't interest you, and it clearly doesn't, why bother posting?

it is hardly a promotion though is it, they are trying to get rid of stock that is about to be thrown away. Someone on a low income may want it.

ok
I will go now and attend to my sleeping baby who has a bad case of croup

No but the whole point of the babymilkaction work is that it shouldnt be reduced as someone on a low income could see it at reduced rate and that could influence their decision of how to feed the baby.

couldnt it?

OO, it's illegal. Mothercare aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts either.

Yes, Pecka, that's part of it.

Can you phone the store and speak to the manager- that'd get it taken off the shelf. the law's the law and they're breaking it-
