This thread is only for posting any misprices you find at Tescos.
Please don't use this thread for discussion of the policy or any other discussions as this will detract from the actual misprices which will get lost amongst the chatter; there is a dedicated thread here for any discussion. Any discussion posts will have to be deleted as the vBulletin tools don't allow moving of posts between threads, so it's best not to post in the wrong place
For new readers:
For clarification SEL stands for Shelf Edge Label, R & R stands for Refund & Retain
the Tesco policy on signs instore is :-
"And if things don't add up ~ In the unlikely event you are charged a higher price than on the shelf or the product we will refund your money and you can keep the product"
Compare the price per kilo on the pack with the shelf edge label price per kilo and where there is a difference the lowest price must be charged.
Thanks to !!!!!! Dastardly for providing the following information from the DTI website which summarises consumer rights in relation to misleading price indications:
Q1. I was charged a different price for an item at the till to the one that was shown on the shelf, what are my rights?
The Consumer Protection Act 1987 makes it an offence for a trader to give a consumer misleading price indications. In the first instance speak to the trader about the differing prices, if you are not satisfied with the response, contact your local authority trading standards department who enforce the Act and who could bring a prosecution against the trader.

Yep, thanks divadee!
I noticed some meat & fish possibilities today, don't recall if they were on the old thread and it's too long to trawl back through!
Tesco finest skinless chicken breast fillets (pack of 2) SEL £10xx per kg, packs all at £11xx per kg.
Didn't buy them though as I thought I would try another item but lol! my item scanned at the lower price (beware, it was Spatchcock Chicken, had SEL £1.99, pack said £2.09, thought I had found a sure one but no!).
Also saw Tesco Smoked haddock fillets and Undyed Smoked Haddock fillets, looked as though the prices on SEL were transposed. The 'undyed' ones would be the ones to try (not the ordinary Smoked as these would be an underprice presumably). The packs say £8.13 per kg but the SEL says £8.12 per kg. Sorry don't know if this scans at the higher price but maybe someone can try it?
HTHPRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
