This is a top loophole. Jean Christophe Novelli's rigatoni ready meals are marked as £1.99 in Tesco stores, but MoneySavers report that, due to a computer glitch, they scan at 1p, when you take them to the till. These were on sale back in October, but now they are back on the shelves again.
No guarantees, but a bit of fun to try... get them to do an instore price check. If you find any at your local Tescos, please let others know by posting below. Good luck!
I have no idea what it tastes like, and it can't be selling all that well, but I couldn't resist buying in my local Tesco last night a couple of Jean Christophe Novelli's Rigatonis for just 1p each.
They weren't labelled in the chillers as being at a special price or 'reduced to clear'. All there was was a big label marked '1p'. Must taste awful but, at that price, who cares?

They were in the frozen section. I just went back and bought the remaining 11 in my store. £32.78 saved !!!. He says microwave but I oven cooked and it was fab with some parmesan and black pepper. I am not keen on vegetables but this was lovely. Go get em!!0 -
Are these online at that price?0

What flavour is priced at 1p please?
I went last night and there are three different varieties: lasagna, lemon and honey chicken and cod. Are any of these down to 1p?
thanks0 -
It is a pasta and vegetable ready meal called Rigatoni and as far I could see only that was 1p.0

It is called Meditterean Rigatoni and only that flavour appears to be 1p although none left in my Tesco's. I had them all!!!0 -
Thank you - bought ten in my local and have just crammed them into my bulging freezer. They were marked at £2.99. Have added another thread for frozen mini stuffed bbq baked pots marked as £2 but scan At £1.00 - not such a bargain but still good value.0
