Just been to Sainsbury's (no Asda close enough for me to pop to) and they had the Hello Kitty cake for £7, how annoying!!

Although it's probably gone from Asda now anyway. Reckon it was a misprice?

Afraid it wasn't a misprice, we just missed out!
Called my local store, they were on offer for £1 but offer finished yesterday.
Shame, daughters party next week, will have to be brave and make one instead!

Just back from the ASDA baby event and a couple of bargains to report through their Rollback and a glitch.

Firstly, there is a lovely Hello Kitty Birthday Cake on Rollback from £6ish to just £1 - perfect for my daughter's 5th birthday this week and a nice long date on it, so good and fresh. It's also at ASDA online if anyone wants to take a look.

Secondly, there was a '2 for £4' end of aisle display with packets of Cadbury Mini Eggs, Mini Creme Eggs, Mini Caramel Eggs, etc etc. I picked up 2 of the new Mini Eggs Selection pack, which is dark blue / purple and contains a mixture of each of the Mini Creme, Caramel and Dairy Milk Eggs, I think it was 253g per bag, £2.98 each, but under 2 for £4 on the display.

They failed to go through on that deal, customer services checked for me and refunded the £1.96 overpaid and gave me another £2 on an ASDA gift card. So I've got about half a kilo of yummy mini eggs for about two quid. I'm well chuffed! :money:

Hope this helps!!

where do you find the right info about being overcharged..i am constantly going to customer services for being overcharged in asda but i have never got a £2 giftcard..i can't see any info about this as i would be telling them about it everytime cos i am fed up with the price mistakes of getting overcharged

OMG what's the date on the Hello Kitty birthday cake?

I've been hinting to my GF that I want it for my birthday..if it's still available..and with that rollback price I'm assuming it won't be (My birthday is in April.. lol)

Would it freeze??

Just went to the isle of dogs asda this evening, saw the label for £1 but there was none on the shelf, so asked a member of staff who was restocking and they had two in a box on their trolley, I bought them both! and the expiry date is 11 feb 2010

I'm so pleased a few people have been able to get the cake - it is lovely.

I've never seen anything in writing about the gift card thing. It happened to me once before in the same store (Sunderland) when I had to bring back some sticks of cheese because they'd gone past their use by date when I bought them and I only noticed when putting them away in the fridge. That time, same as the choccy eggs, they refunded me what I was owed and matched the amount onto a giftcard as well.

I presume it's some sort of 'match the overprice' or 'recompense for nearly eating potentially 'off' goods' type of goodwill gesture from ASDA??

Perhaps a local policy??

I went to my local in Brynmawr this morning and there was NO hello kitty birthday cakes, I forgot some stuff so went back this afternoon and they HAD Hello kitty birthday cakes for £7, there was a young man filling up some shelves so i asked him how much the cakes were and told him i wanted one as they were online last night for £1 and he told me yes there was a mistake! they had a message through this morning informing the store that there was a mistake on the price of the cake and they were told to take them off the shelf until it was corrected and then put them back for £7!
