    It's hard to find the balance when you are love.
    You're lost in the middle cause you have to decide between mind & heart.
    Heart is the engine of your body but brain is the engine of life.

    Was £5.39 bogof in my Tesco yesterday, so didn't buy. Was going to get the Finest meal deal but they had no side dishes. That's one way to stop us getting the meal deal.
    It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

    SHAME on you VICTORia :) ... Why didn't you just say .....

    "I DON'T BELIEVE IT !" :rotfl:

    That's exactly "what they were" at mine, both on the SEL and special promotional advertising - £5.39 BOGOF

    BUT if you took them to a scanner they scanned at £2.69

    THAT'S WHY IT'S A GLITCH :)

    As they did at a till - the ONLY "concern", as you scan them in (like I did at a Self Service till) is that EVERY one adds on another £2.69 with "no sign" of the BOGOF kicking in.....

    .. but as soon as you press "FINISH & PAY" BINGO, or should I say BOGOF

    10 x 4 packs = £26.90
    MULTIBUY SAVINGS
    TUNA CHNKS 4X185G BOGOF = - £13.45

    Total to pay £13.45

    It was EXACTLY the same on the Hellman's Mayonnaise

    SEL etc said £2.82 BOGOF - scanner & till scanned at £1.41

    10 x £1.41 = £14.10
    FINISH & PAY
    MULTIBUY SAVINGS
    MAYONNAISE BOGOF = -£7.05
    Total to pay £7.05

    Just because it had a sign saying the cheaper price doesn't mean it's not a glitch, it's happened loads of times before eg Tesco tomato soup and the 3 for £2 premium haircare stuff etc. My info came from a Tesco worker on HDUK so I hope he's wrong.

    Happy Easter everyone, I'm off to work now.

    It's not a glitch, Tesco always put the tuna up to £5+ immediately before the bogof deal the £2.69 is the normal price they are just shysters.
