Valuation Fraud Perpetuated by Tesco's

Last week I bought some rice from Tesco's for £3.59, later on I seen the same rice in the £1 shop.
I feel very ripped off, can I take legal action as Tescos valuer has clearly marked up the price way above the market level?
I beleive that Sainsbury's are also involved in this, as the same brand of rice is priced similarly. However they are offering 50p off at the moment. I guess this is a gifted deposit, but the price is still way above the real price of £1 even with this.
If you have paid way to much for a house, then just shut up and go away, like me you didn't bother check out the true prices before purchasing. Like me, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Legal action for what??
Tesco had the rice to sell and you accepted the price when you paid for it!
The £1 shop rice is probably short dated.Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -
Also if you buy with a Clubcard there's extra points.0

Tesco are always overpricing products because they know there are a great deal of muppets that want to buy a £3 bottle of wine for £4.99 if it says "half price" was previously £9.98!!!
They have been doing if for years!*

oh well, you win some and you lose some. My BTL new builds are doing much better, I got 10% off them! Others bought them for around the same price, so I know thats the true price.0 -
