Vent - Asda Offers

Posts: 300 Forumite
I have recently started poping into Asda again after becoming an avid Morrisons shopper (brothers 10% staff discount card 
).
One of the reasons I stopped going to Asda was that I was sooooooo sick of being overcharged.
This evening I went into Asda and saw that they had lemon pepper quorn pieces on offer. Great I thought for £1 I will stick them in the freezer for a lazy supper.
It was only when I got half way home that I realised I had been charged £2.49 for said product :eek: I was so angry as I would never have bought them if they had cost that. The product was on the end of an aisle and had about 3 signs near the product stating that it was a pound.
I went back immediately because on principle I was bl**dy annoyed. Quite a lot of people would have picked them up as they were in a prominent place. When I got to customer services the women on customer services was so unapologetic. Asda are starting to irritate me as much Tesco now with their antics.

Yes, it is, but I know that some CS assistants are very coy about them. My local offers them every time.0

after a shop specifically for offers, i always check the receipt for the discounts, it saves coming back and getting in s huff.
make sure you read it properly tho cos i almost went back to complain then realised the discount came off the total at the bottom, not the product price on the receipt!Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000
current savings: 20,500 (target hit yippee!)
Debts: 8000 (student loan so doesnt count)
new target savings by Feb 2010: 30,0000 -
my local asda is really bad for this, but its cheaper than the other shops.
I now always check the price on the the till reciept before I leave the shop and I ALWAYS go back if its wrong.
They always refund the money, and once I was sooooooooo cross about mis-labeled wine that I nagged the store manager to take down the promation while I watched.
I suppose its how they keep the price down--if they had enough staff to make sure it was all priced correctly it would cost more.
Makes me mad tho.LBM-2003ish
