I HAGGLED the price of my weekly shop in Sainsbury's today!!!!!!!! BARGAIN!!!!!!!!!

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

The tills broke whilst I was going around. They still werent fixed by the time I was queueing (along with an awful lot of others). After a very short while, they gave up with using calculators to guestimate, so they were just looking at trollies and asking folk to guestimate.

I suggested my weekly shop was £50-55 usually. He looked in my trolley like this, and I said "Oh, well i dont usually buy that and that every week (cleaning stuff)" and he said "call it £60?"

DEAL!!!!

Yes, I sadly went on to the Sainsburys to you website and added up my shop.......it was worth £74!!!!!!!!

bargain
i'd have gone back in for more

Well done you!

They had to barricade the doors and turn traffic away

I suspect people were ringing friends and relatives to come and get some......

wow

Don't you just love a bargin! Well done you! We went to Ikea yesterday and bought quite a lot of stuff, I wasn't really keeping a running total, but we spent just short of £100 (we are decorating a room, so I was expecting that) I paid, while dh was going for the hotdogs (they are a bargin in themselves!) and when we got back in the car, he said 'so how much was that lot then?' I told him and he said, thats clever, the desk that we bought was £110 alone!' - TOUCH!!

FARK!!!!

Mind you, I've had that in Ikea before now...not with anything as expensive as that though!!!!

Actually, what bothers me most, is that I clealy wasn't paying attention to what the cashier said. I used my chip & pin and although it was in my favour this time, it could just as easily have been the other way round.

quite!!!!

I hate a fab one in Asda once, where my weekly shop bill came up as £218. I nearly died on the spot and queried it (it should have been around £100 ) On inspection we spotted that the bar code on a block of Smart Price cheese came up as £118!!!
For some reason, they couldn't clear this thing and I was standing at the checkout for 25 minutes with restless toddler and preschooler while the staff ran around like headless chickens trying to put it right.
Evenutally, because my kids were getting so relstless and I was going into panic as I had to be someone else in 10 mins, the manager looked at me and said: ''just take your shopping as a goodwill gesture love. This is our problem not yours, we'll void your switch card, no charge..''

£100 weekly shop for free - I was just gutted there was no 'fun stuff' in the shop And we got to keep the '£118' cheese

wow result!filthy!!

We've just had another touch (she sings in a rather childish way!) Went to get carpet for said room. Only needed a remnant, as its an office only 2.5m x 3m. Chose one which was £60, dh said to the bloke in Carpet Right, 'how much can you do this one for me, mate?' He presses a few buttons on his calculator and says £32!!! Friend now wants to borrow my dh, when she buys one next week!

Excellent FMF!!!!

i once bought a sik from b&q it was £25 and we'd put the taps inside the bath(£45), she only charged for the sink , i didn't realise and was happily chatting away, while my xp was trying to drag me away before she saw

i meant a sink

lol VVVQ, good one. that often happened at safeway when i worked. once though, dhcame from out the back looking very sheepish. he told me later that him and a colleque had crashed the system on purpose

misdee!!!

Hatrick - i once saw £40 on the floor in Next and rather than hastily pick it up whilst queueing, I rolled DS's buggy over it, and then bent forward and pretended to tuck his blanket in around him before picking up the money and shoving it under his bum

i know i was very but it did make our lives easier on the tills for 30mins lol.

there used to be a bakery item that if you in the PLU on the printer wrong it would print a dodgey barcode. that could also bring the whole system down.

i also had a £30 doughnut go through my till once i was like doughnut, sandwhich and drink £34, thats not right....

LOL!

"£30 doughnut" has really ticked me

I once bought a duck for 80p

it was meant to be 80p per pound or whatever, bujt the lad printed off 80p sticker

When i went to the tills, I went to the thickest-looking one and hoped they wouldnt notice

They didnt

I think I should get out more! Initially, I thought you were talking about a rubber duck and couldn't understand the problem - 80p is very reasonable!

hehehe

i don't even eat bloody duck, Im a veggie!

Why were you buying a duck then you freak?

for DH of course

lol!
