Philips Low-Energy Lightbulb offer at Morrisons

I've seen this offer at Morrisons in Bromsgrove, Worcs today - it's been there for a couple of days, probably because it's not immediately obviously how good it actually is and the offer is hidden right at the far side of the store. It could be a local offer or one that's running the same in stores nationwide.

This is a 'while stocks last' offer that looks like a really good deal to begin with - Philips low-energy standard bayonet bulbs, 11w (equivalent 60w). Look for a big cardboard dump bin display. The price shown on the dump bin is 38p per bulb, but just 50p for 5. 10p a bulb.

However, check your receipt when you've paid for them. At the Bromsgrove store the price shown for each bulb before the discount is applied is 29p, not 38p. Once a discount of £1.35 for 5 bulbs is added in, the total charge drops to a tiny 10p for all 5, or just 2p per bulb.

For this to work, both the standard price on the receipt and the discount rate are incorrect (the discount rate implies the original price was 37p). I queried this with a staff member and was told not to worry, it was the price that had been set in the system.

I would suggest if you're looking for bulbs, these would suit your needs and you can get to Morrisons - grabbit while you can!

This seems to be a nationwide offer. I picked up a pack for 10p - shelf edge label on the bin they were in stated 10p for the pack. Did have to read it a few times before I believed it though. Good offer. :T

What about the bulbs equivalent to 100w or more?
