Took skin off banana to reduce price at Tesco self service today...

[Notters]

I always take a sharp knife to Tesco and remove broccoli stalks before weighing. I estimate this simple measure has saved me several hundred pounds over the past ten years.

I only recently discovered that the stalk is the tastiest bit.

Got questioned by the Tescos employee but I said the skin was packaging and of no actual use to me. So after the weighing process it Reduced the price by 3p. Thank me later.

Err, no you didn't because​ there's no such shop as Tescos.

Love bit of broccoli stalk.

I have put a single mushroom through and comes out as free due to the scales not sensitive enough to register a weight.

Can I take my potato peeler to do my Naris Pipers?

If you are going to take a sharp knife to Tesco you can threaten the checkout girl and not pay anything at all. This is a much cheaper option.

You can but the wait in A & E is 2/3 hours.

I do not like Broccolli as a vegetable very much but wife and grandchildren do so she cooks the florets and I keep and cook the stalk for Broccolli and Stilton soup which I like.

Great idea. I'll try it later with my daughter's favourite fruit, a watermelon.

Half a leek goes in the bin, just sayin

You should work on your accuracy more (or sit down)

Must remember these devious ideas when buying the Christmas ham. Is it legal to carry a boning knife these days?

Could always bone the rib of beef saying you dont want the bones or fillet the plaice.

I think Tesco's sell all of their single bananas at a fixed price.

No, you can get a single banana from the section that sells bunches, and you weigh them.

I've done the same with oranges...peeled them and tried to buy them ..but the checkout person said i was taking the pith

Get the **** in!

Do any supermarkets sell shelled peanuts by weight?

Must remember my hammer next time I'm buying a coconut

Thank god the football starts again next weekend and we don't have to be subjected to this sort of dross. 3p saving good god.

I'm going to take a can opener with me next time I go to Sainsbury to buy a tin of baked beans.

3p off for the can and cost 5p for a bag to carry the beans home

I used to weigh every thing as bananas--there the cheapest item till I discovered you can pass quite a lot of fruit off as a crusty roll
ps ...don't get caught
