Lmao!

Shoulda gone to Tesco.

Tinned Tesco Value Rice Puddin only 30c. My wallet may be lighter, but I definitely profit when I walk out with a crate of those bad boys

I've "seen" the same think happen in SuperQuinn were the last user did not know the notes are dispensed from the lower section. So basically for got "free" money off the last user and not Tesco......

Eric Cartman · 08-09-2008 06:45PM

just as a note , the 47c orange jelly pots are pure sex in a cup

Onion rings used to be pretty nice too but then they went and changed them.

The Cheese Puffs have their moments but it's the Chipsticks that are the money.

F*cking students. This is why we're in a recession you know.

KTRIC · 08-09-2008 09:04PM

10 finger discount FTW !!

Toto Wolfcastle · 08-09-2008 09:11PM

32 cent tin of curry sauce in Tesco.

Heat it.

Eat it.

Puke it up as it is vile.

Reuse tomorrow.

Profit.

i still remember the day in college when i went to the vending machine and all but one row was empty. I picked something but it turned out the row wasn't working. Then i tried to get my change but the refund button wasn't working.

i'd put 2 euro in and so i said to myself i might as well get some money back and i picked one of the empty ones that was 1.50. It spun and i waited for my 50 cent to come out but about 30 euro did. Made my day

Did you miss the one's for 24c???

Much nicer than the 77cent-ers - ironically.

Creamy Goodness · 08-09-2008 10:35PM

tescos have their own brand tortilla chips for 29c you can't fecking go wrong with that as they taste good too.

Yeah. It happened in my school. The machine wouldn't give back your money, someone ended up leaving 1.30 in there. He could've got another choccie bar but left. I pop in 50c. I'm richer.
Wait. I remembered a friend owes me 1€ for that chocolate bar.

Elle Victorine · 08-09-2008 11:26PM

The 99c brand of tesco tortilla chips are lovely too..must try those ones too though.

Eric Cartman · 09-09-2008 01:12AM

this thread took a nice direction, the tortilla chips , will i require a dip to go with them ?

Creamy Goodness · 09-09-2008 01:42AM

depends if you feel you need dip with the chips.

i can eat the chips without dip but i find others think i'm crazy for that. :rolleyes:

picked up a dvd in tesco tonight [once upon atime in america ]from the warner bros range ....between 4.95 and 6.95 [good value]
went to pay for it and it wouldnt scan so a manager was called to get a price .comes back and says he cant sell it to me because it dos,nt have a price on the system .
whats this got to do with making profit from tesco i hear you say .
well it was an impulse buy and i probably would have left it in its wrapper and never watched it or someone would have borrowed it and never seen it again .
so profit made

Ross_Mahon · 09-09-2008 03:36AM

Yeah i love them bacon fries and salt n vinegar chip sticks, Then a big carton of strawberry milk to wash it down.:D

Fratton Fred · 09-09-2008 08:42AM

Asda ftw

bill_ashmount · 09-09-2008 08:52AM

ALDI - 29c for a double pack of Bourbon cream biscuits.

I know students probably have no interest in vegetables ... but at the self service checkout, input stuff like brocolli (around €1.50 or so) as an onion and save yerself a euro. Just don't let them spot you doing it too often, as they pulled me up on it.

Note: You don't have to be a student to take part in this activity. Grown ups can be robbing bastards too.

chopperbyrne · 09-09-2008 09:27AM

Tesco Value stuff is a life saver when you're low on funds.

A weeks shopping for less than €30, often less than €25.

Were you using a loyalty card? If so they will know about the error and will be on to you.

Lol i used to do this but my favourite thing was when in supermarkets with those weighing scales things for veggies. I used to hold the veggies a little lighter on the scales and save myself a few cent :P:P
