    A/H cous cous 100g 69p each had a shelf edge label 4 for £20.00 Sunday just gone.

    Luckily I was charged £2.00, I thought It might end up @ £20 by mistake!!

    Phew!

    The newsletter this morning was reporting PS3's at £196 at Tesco or 20% off. Amazon are/were price matching too I might add.

    An hour later, the Tesco price on this console is up to £228 for the 320 GB, £245 for the 160 GB.

    I note from my inbox that Martin's newsletter arrived around 2 a.m. this morning. Interesting how the price jumped £32 between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., when many people would be seeing it for the first time.

    The promo is good until February 27th, but plainly, not at the originally advertised price.

    Bought 2 bottles of coke (1.25l), shelf edge label price 2 for £2, was charged £1.50 each bottle.
    Bought packet of Galaxy Counters (170g) and a packet of Galaxy Minstrels (170g), shelf edge label price 2 for £2, charged £1.79 per packet.

    These were on offer as Movie night in promotion. Received double the difference back.
    This was in Tesco's St. Mellons, Cardiff.
    Born to glitch :D
  • I got overcharged on counters offer of any 2 for £2 on sunday in Portsmouth crasswell st (you know who you are!!!) as I pulled out bags for cs the dragon ladies quickley swiped the sel from beneath offer so when I went over they tried to say the counters weren't in offer, I however pointed out label on lower shelf saying any 2 for £2 but she was having none of it, my daughter was witness as she wanted the offer in the first place. So I then said don't bother I shall have may money back witch did and went to wilkinsons which had same offer anyway. Always bad customer service in this store and I often get followed by security as well which really bugs me as I am not a thief and wouldn't even think of shoplifting, its a shame that there is no morrisons nearby as I would use that all the time. Things in this store haven't changed since I was a mystery shopper often in there last two years, biddies!!

    Sinister occurrence ; I pointed out the PS3 160GB model Tesco Ad in the Star today for £196.00 to somebody.

    What is happening with the PS3

    Just seen an ad for 20% off gaming @ Tesco on tv. It mentions prices £7.98 to £196 for articles shown on the ad.

    Also Google throws up loads of references to £196.

    I saw an all in one printer ad for £40 but when I went to Tesco It was marked up as £80 so I had to do look up till price. It came up as £40.
    I suppose one hand doesn't know what the other is doing and following like sheep pricing!
