They were talking about jelly beans.

Read the post properly before you start taking the mick or trying to rip people apart, as you always seem to.

I've contacted Trading Standards and they are investigating both the misleading selling and incorrect pricing but I wanted to warn others to check the multipacks aren't more expensive.

I really don't understand why people totter off to TS for every little thing. Had a woman this week who didn't bother to read a BOGOF label, which clearly stated what was in the offer, then complained to us. I pointed out her mistake, and yet she still spent ages complaining and then threatened to go to TS, saying that the sign was "misleading" when she just didn't read the sign properly!

I'll tell you exactly why. They get kicks out of trying to get others in trouble.

No it should be cheaper because they don't have to pay as many staff now....so how can it go up?? maybe for credit cards (as many companies card for using a credit card) but not debit cards

I'm assumming that the "Whistleblower" was saying if you paid in the kiosk with a card and no other purchase then this so called charge would be applied.

I always check multipacks, and price per 100 gram etc. when deciding on two smaller packs or 1 big pack.

Noticed on Saturday that Lucozade sport tropical individual bottles were 74p each but on two for £1.50. Only an extra 2p but there is no way you can avoid this overcharge at the till unless you put them through as separate transactions.

Some offers are brill though. Colgate Advanced whitening/oxygen pump 100ml £2.99 each but on buy 2 for £2.50. I did actually see one woman read the sign, say that's a good offer but I don't need two and just take one

Does anybody else get the impression that behind the"Britain's biggest discounter" tagline from Tesco, lies a hidden agenda to slowly cut back on "Value" label items, especially as I get the feeling that most of these new brands have probably appeared in Value packaging up until now; thus the effect is actually to push up people's bills anyway, by simply doing away with the cheapest option

They're upto something that's for sure. At the very least they've gone for the Aldi and Lidl trick of having their own in-house "brands".

Are people thinking this is a bad thing? My local asda doesn't have a kiosk, you just put you card the wee thing at the pump, put your number in and fill up. Whats the problem with that, saves me sneakily buying a chocolate bar too.
