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

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

have you all gone fvcking mad on here!!!!

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

I'll just pop them in my hand bag.

Often's the time I've ordered a pizza from Donatello's, thrown away the pizza and eaten the box

But the goodness is in the skin:

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.

Then as has been mentioned you really are missing out. Broccoli stalks sliced and fried in butter and garlic are delicious. I always do this when cooking Sunday lunch and serve them as an appetiser. Never once had someone not love them.

Great story, but patently untrue. If you took the skin off, you'd save a lot more than 3p...

just had a banana and out of curiosity weighed it and with skin weighed 126gm without 91 gm so approx 1/4 of the weight was skin.

I once bought some chillies from an Indian cash and carry. I only wanted 5 for a recipe. When I handed them over at the till he gave me a look of disdain and waved me away. Free chillies. Yay.

I cannot be one hundred percent sure on this, but this may very well be the most boring post I have ever read on NSC

I was in the kitchen weighing out the flour etc to make a fruit cake and wanted a banana so popped it on the scale.

It will go unnoticed on the whole but this is a little bit of nsc gold right here

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

Don't, I had a stag doo once in Bournemouth, ended up in a single with no "facilities" so i pissed in the bin, opened the window onto a sloping roof, but lost all my "cleverness" and instead of simply tipping it out threw the whole thing, waking up the whole b n b as the metal bin bounced off said roof

six more days of this

I think Tesco's sell all of their single bananas at a fixed price. If so I suspect the story is untrue which is disappointing.

20p each.

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

Roast them like you do with roast potatoes. Bloody lovely

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

I prefer Asdas and Waitroses.
