They've been selling bottles of Irn Bru - 65p each or 2 for £1.60 at my local express for about a month.

Isn't that mix and match? You don't actually get 30p added to the bill when you buy them.

The problem is when the 2 for... 4 for is a multipack with one barcode, that's where you have to be careful.

I don't trip over the Tesco 'offers' much any more, though it does take a little longer to shop now that I pay proper attention to pricing. I think they (and most of the other large stores) bank on us zooming round without giving it our undivided attention (or being distracted with children in tow).

In addition, 'family sized' stuff can quite often be dearer than buying 2 smaller jars/packets which overall contain more and with additional packaging, but cost a few pence less!

Years ago, in my local, they ran a menu for a while. A jacket potato with beans was £2, one with cheese was £2.50. All extra items, of which cheese and beans were two, were 50p each.

The dozy barperson never understood why we were adamant that we wanted a jacket potato with 'beans and cheese', rather than a jacket potato with 'cheese and beans'.

The shop I work in at weekends had coca cola at £1.50, or 2 for £2 for a while. Then they cut the price to 99p each, but forgot to remove the £2 for 2 offer for a day or two. The look on customers' faces as it scanned up "Coca Cola £2/2: £0.02" was brilliant!

I'm not convinced that this isn't deliberate. You don't go far wrong thinking the worst of Tesco.

We do. We laugh Mostly they are, as has been said, multibuys that are mix and match with more expensive products. We take care not to put out the 'save 0p tickets' though, and certainly where I work we check advertising as we put it out.

They should but you can't not expect the odd mistake to be around, if you equate it to the number of lines and prices they carry it would in my guess be less than 0.01% (probably less)
