    I did some Glasto shopping earlier today and got some Tesco Value Wet Wipes (Baby Wipes) which I seem to remember had the SEL of 36p. I looked at my receipt after and they had gone through at 18p. Not much of a saving but it's technically a misprice :j

    If someone with access to a price scanner could confirm this one, it would be great - it might just be my local screwing things up (again) :D

    are they the 100 pack? if so showing up as 61p at my local store!
    bargain hunting is what i do! :money: 2 adults 3 kids - its like trying to feed a zoo! :D

    They were the 80 pack, here: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=260274300
    18p on the receipt. Maybe I looked at the wrong SEL, so perhaps not a misprice? Still a bargain though :)

    Hi there, not sure if you've actually tried these wipes? I know they're very cheap but as you need to use 2-3 cause they're very poor quality I'm not sure it's such a bargain!!! Just thought I'd mention it....wouldn't want you stuck while at Glasto!!!! :)

    10 Pack Capri Sun still had 2 boxes for £4.00 SELs on all flavours in my two local stores but this offer finnished yesterday and the offer from today is 2 for £5.00. DTD back of £2 for every two purchased worked out £3 for 2 boxes almost BOGOF as they are £2.78 a box.

    SELs were removed after I went to CS.

    We missed a good one yesterday - Sony TV's at £500 were scanning at £50.
    I found this out as I had some 1p items going through the self serve and the SA came over and said can I just have that, it's ok you can have it but it's just so we can remove them from the shelf. Anyway got into a good conversation about cheap prices and she said that a few went through at that price un noticed then they spotted it and had to refuse to sell TV's.

    So well done to whoever nabbed that bargain.:T

  • In the Huntingdon Tesco, 'Cuponk' (Incredibly fun Throw The Ball In The Cup game) was up at half price but scanning at full - got DTD after a little grumbling. CS removed the SEL afterwards however.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    For anyone who hasn't noticed, now the fuss has died down from the glitch this morning, there are some overcharge misprice opportunities around in relation to the 2 for £16 / 3 for £20 offer on packs of beer.

    Basically they've been rolling this offer on for a while, but from today the following packs are no longer part of the offer:

    San Miguel 15 x 275ml bottles - now £12.00 each
    Stella (5%) 10 x 440 cans - now £9.00 each
    Budweiser (5%) 10 x 440 cans - now £9.00 each

    However, with stacks of these packs dotted around stores with the 2 for £16 / 3 for £20 signage on, some stores haven't removed the above packs. For example in my local store, they had a sign on a stack which included the packs of San Miguel. Buy 3 of these packs and get charged £36 = an overcharge of £16 = a DTD refund of £32 = 45 bottles for a net outlay of £4.00. Even cheaper than the glitch!

    Any ideas which TVs could be worth a try?
