Starbucks dark red sachets 3 pack on a hanging strip priced £1.39 on shelf priced 69p

took two from shelf but one went through at £1.39 the other at 69p ??! the barcodes do differ but i don't know which was which.
anyway got dtd for the one that went through £1.39 so they paid me 1p to take away one of them as dtd was £1.40

There are a selection of ladies long-sleeved t-shirts in various colours and styles with '2 for £8' stickers on them. They were originally £6 each, but some have been marked down to £3. I bought a navy one with little buttons on the front (£6) and a lilac one with a little gathering over the bust (£3) = £9. I should have then received a £1 discount at the till, but this did not come off, so I was refunded £2 (DTD) at the customer service desk, so I was happy to have paid £7 for the two.

I know it's not a biggie, but useful to know if you are thinking of buying them anyway. I don't know if the discount would have been applied for buying two of the £6 ones as I didn't try this, but might be worth a go for someone.

one of the barcodes was the same as the other two i got for 69p the other day

so the overcharged barcode must be

Sassi - I don't think she knows which one was wrong as she says she's muddled them up.

Thanks - will take a walk and see what's occurring. Colwyn.

Just been to the local Tesco but no Starbucks at all. However, in the Bakery section there were quite a few Puff Pastry Mince Pies available (packs of 4) - normally priced around £1.30p but reduced to 1p. Sadly I couldn't take any because I'm a vegetarian and the chap working there said they had non-vegetarian products in. They looked very nice though!

Had to point out at our local Tesco Express yesterday that advertising 2 bars of chocolate for £1.20 wasn't such a great deal when most of the items on offer were under 60p. Changed to 3 for £1.20 this morning.

Be careful with Tesco Products - some are being revamped to smaller quantities for the same price!
I recently bought some Anti-Limescale tablets (like Calgon) for my washer - they'd reduced the size from 22gms to 16 gms for the same price.

I'm sure they're doing this with other own brands - look for things like shrinking toilet rolls (take a cm off the width and they save a fortune!!) and weights in standard measures (like half litre 500ml) being sold as 450ml or even 400ml.
What a con! It's the pound shop for me from now on... :-(
