    they are really only giving you 1 free as usaually you get 1 for 1pound or 95p.So its a publicity scam.I am just wandering morrisons had the same offer how much were they selling for?

    I think I should know, I work at Sainsbury's. They were £1.99 until Jan 1st, then the went upto £2.03 due to the VAT increase.

    They are usually £2.03 at Tesco as well, but currently on offer at 95p. ends 11th May
    They are £2.03 at Waitrose
    & yes, they are £1.16 at ASDA, but they must be making a loss.
    I think they are also £2.03 at Morrisons
    You're right. I think what people are getting mixed up with is the fact that although the RRP of Pringles IS £2.03, everywhere seems to sell them at a discounted price.

    Must admit I initially thought the RRP was high - but when I thought about it, it was only because I only buy Pringles when they are on a good offer somewhere. Surely if anyone if misleading people - it's not Sainsburys, it's Pringles who must offer substantial discounts to almost every store in order to make their product seem more sellable.

    Although its a good deal its extortionate to charge £2.03 a pack and for that reason I wont buy them. Look at the Nivea Happy Cream which they state is on offer at I think 3.50 and normally its 6.11 since when? I thought they were having a funny five minutes so did the bulk if my shopping in Asda as they appear more sensible!
    All my views are just that and do not constitute legal advice in any way, shape or form.£2.00 savers club - £20.00 saved and banked (got a £2.00 pig and not counted the rest)Joined Store Cupboard Challenge]

    79p a tube in B&M - normal price
    Roughly the same in Home Bargains too. £2.19 a tube is extortionate!

    No, they are not making a loss, they are just making less profit.

    Think I should know, I know the cost price.

    As said, usual Supermarket con.
