Blend 37 coffee soooo cheap

paintycait

In my local Somerfields the Blend 37 Coffee is £1.26...less than 1/2 it's normal price. It's not shown as a special offer or anything and I've checked with staff, asked them if it's a mistake and it's not. I bought the whole shelf that first time expecting it to be back to normal the next week.
This week it's still there at this ridiculous price so I bought another 10 jars.

For those that like a quality instant coffee it is very nice, it's always been our favourite for years. It's worth checking it out because it's the best price ever, it's normally anout £2.60+.
Maybe it's just my local store...I don't know

Went in a Burnley Somerfield store today, Blend 37 (100gm) was £2.49 which is the normal price. Maybe it is just your local store or a pricing error?

Oh well, for all those who live near Crieff...dive on in and take advantage of the error....but do me a favour and leave a few for me on the shelf for Saturday LOL.
I wouldn't normally encourage this as it seems to be a genuinemistake but I gave them ample opportunity to correct this. When I spotted it first I asked a member of staff working in the aisle if it was a mistake, he said no it wasn't. I went to the checkout and asked the girl to scan the product and see if it was a shelf label mistake ...no she said it wasn't. When I went back I suggested to the girl at the checkout that it was a mistake and perhaps she should check with her manager....bit of the old "compu'er says nawww" syndrome.
I think if you speak to 3 members of staff then you've tried your best to make them aware.
Paulow, I think that £2.49 is quite cheap for the normal price anyway, I'm sure Tescos is £2.61...but I might be a bit out of date.
