Who says tescos inflate prices and then reduce them again?

Does anyone still fall for it when Tescos inflate the price of an item and then reduce it again to make it appear like a bargain. I love the way they have not spotted the mistake in their pricing with these cookies...

Its 44p for a single pack or for two packs it "was" £1.48 but has been "Reduced" to £1 for two packs.

Now that is what you call a bargain...not

and if the multipacks are anything like crisps they will be all broken and poorly sealed : (

although i will give walkers credit they send me vouchers each time i complain about shoddy multipacks.

Not quite the same subject, but our local Sainsbury's (and that probably means all of them) seem to be having a major pricing crisis with their "bigger pack, better value" deals.

Hardly ANY of the ones I look at are actually better value. Some are exactly the same value, and many are actually worse. D'oh!

Yeah, Tesco do this a lot and I find it annoying. There is a lot of price manipulation these days - Play.com and WHSmith often have dvd's in their sales that were the same price the week before. All the supermarkets put prices up for a week and then discount them, so they look like bargains.

OP they do this all the time. There is a particular wine that I like from Tesco and a few weeks ago it was reduced from £9.99 to £5.99. Yesterday I was browsing the wine aisle and noticed that the offer has finished and it is now back to its regular price of £5.99!

I always treat Teascos deals with caution, I do a lot of shopping in there and know most of the prices of their stuff. Argos have a habit of doing this as well, they often even include the price previous (Lower) price in the small print!

I bought a top at Burtons menswear 3 days before xmas for £20, on boxing day sales i went in and the sign over the rack said " Boxing day sale Reduced - was £45 now £20 - save a massive £25!" I complained to the manager and he put on a false laugh and said nothing and walked away.

Good spotting on the biscuits there.

I buy the Tesco coffee, and always buy the 100g jar at 70p as it is £1.43 for 200g and £2.19 for 300g
