I can back up Bushrod on this one. They are on offer until 8 July, down from £3.17 per kg to £2.53 per kg, but all the ones on display at my local were at the higher price. I picked up one last night.
I also picked up chicken drumsticks, also supposedly on offer until 8 July, but all on display were at the higher price (I think £2.99 per kg instead of £2.19).
Also got some thin-sliced healthy-eating beefsteaks, can't remember prices for those.
Total refund of £11 plus.

clarifying this as its a tricky one and it took me until today to work it out
Bob Marley and the Wailers Africa Unite the singles collection is the title, but there are at least 2 types about depending on what the supplier has sent.
bar code 602498347522 will be the single CD version and will scan at £8.97 and can be found with SEL and / or sticker of either 8.97 or 12.97.
bar code 602498349199 will be the double CD version with virtually identical packaging (sometimes with a cardboard outer and other times not) and that scans at 19.29 but may have SEL and / or sticker of 8.97 or 12.97.
obviously the bar code on the 8.97/12.97 SEL matches the single CD version and bright CS's might spot its a different bar code, but the description is exactly the same and you as a customer cant be expected to read bar codeeez ;-)

..... and then of course there is the one I picked up with the cardboard outer bar code of the 2 CD package which scans at 19.29 but inside is the single CD pack which is how I eventually found out whats going on. I did get a refund for the overcharge but there was mass confusion as to why the bar codes dont match and why its pricing wrong which involved 4 CS's, 2 team leaders, a manager and a security guard .... so I reckon I cant go back to that store anytime soon without being remembered.

*Tony* - thanks for clarifying this

the one I got was the double cd with cardboard outer package - the sticker said £12.97 but it scanned at £19.29 - didnt realise there were 2 different ones
(did check the self scan before going to tills as the books & CD R & Rs are tricky - as even though the SEL is higher they sometimes go through at the sticker price, as i found with the others i listed )

I would advise if self scan is working in store, always check these items before purchase.
