I'm broke, you're broke, we're all broke. Even the smug guy on the balcony with the croissant hasn't got two AmEx gold cards to rub together these days. Tell everybody your schemes to save cash.

You're a moron.
thanks for the 8th useless tip in the last 5 minutes, but you'll find if you return something past it's 'use by' date, you won't get an exchange or a refund.

How about you stop making stupid shit up?

Thanks for the insult, but i'm not and you are wrong....

If you read what I wrote "Approaching Use By Meat
ALWAYS pick up meat that's priced down, and approaching it's "Use By"

You will notice that I am not advocating purchasing Meat that is past it's Use by date (at which point they are not allowed to sell it to you anyway). I am advocating purchasing Meat approaching it's "Use By" date.... something I do at any and every available opportunity by the way.... You will get an exchange or a refund.

I have done this in Asda, Tesco, Tesco Express, Morrison, and Iceland.

I am making nothing up.

And you CAN return something AFTER its 'Use By' Date... if you purchase it on the day it goes out of date, take it home, it's no good, bring it back the next morning.

Why call me a moron? I provided perfectly usable information, that's perfectly legit and not in any way made up!

OK, Mr Trolly
McTroll.

Nearly 5 years of lurking, and you've lasted less than an hour.

I'm the Troll?
I make a good suggestion, of something that I do regularly, that is completely fine to do, that isn't even being the slightest bit naughty, and you call me names, suggest i'm making it up, and the next guy reckons it's fraud? Seriously... more namecalling?

It might not technically be fraud (in the legal sense),
but it's sure as hell dishonest if you're doing it on purpose. You're basically working the system to get £5 worth of stuff for £1.

It's not fraud in any shape or fashion.

My primary purpose is to get 'cheap meat'.
The meat is for sale as 'good' and is labelled as being within the 'use by' date.
If I take it home and it is good then I eat it or freeze it for another occasion.
If it cost £5 but was marked down to £1, I have saved £4.
If however the meat is not good, despite being sold to me as 'good' then I return it, as was not good.
Dependent upon the store they either give you your money back (refund)
OR they will exchange what was supposed to be 'good meat' for another pack of 'good meat' - this time one that was not originally marked down, but is of the same weight/range etc.. (exchange for like).
Asda once refunded me £6 for meat, and then gave me £6 extra as an apology.
There is NOTHING fraudulent / Dishonest, it is STORE POLICY.
Bizarre that people think there's something wrong with this.
