    theres been photos of the non existent item and receipt photos posted too of the non existent deal :cool:

    maybe try looking further than page 1?

    so now i have to wade my way through 20 pages of posts to find something that should come up in a simple site search....whats the point of technology if it doesnt work?

    still cant find them on tesco.com

    does anyone know if they will have them in tesco metro stores?

    i cannot find these on teco.com....have tried earching for chopped tomatoes, chopped tomatoes with basil, tomatoe with basil etc. as far as i can see they dont exist :( not much hope of finding them instore if i dont know what im looking for. ive seen this a lot lately on mse...offers that do not actually exist when you come to seek them out.

    I can assure you that they do exist, I bought about 130 cartons yesterday and got about £80 worth of free shopping! :rotfl: And yes, the Metro stores do have them. The glitch has now been fixed online though. Some stores have fixed the glitch, some haven't so it's pot luck.

    A tip: search for 'combipack chopped tom' on Tesco.com and they will come up. HTH!

    What do you want exactly? Put 'img' into the search thread function and you will get the posts with images coming up, of both receipts and the product.

    Was just about to post the same. When this was working online for me, the products didn't come up when searching for chopped tomatoes, only when using the term "combipack". This however doesn't work anymore, but it is over 48hours since first posted so perfectly understandable!!!

    Yep they cancelled the whole thing! I had some groceries i.e pop, dog food, biscuits etc. I also ordered 99 bags of 1p tesco mini eggs that they were suppose to have in! And guess what they didn't.

    My arguement was the fact that I'd been in the day before and brought some off the shelf... so how do they not sell it!!!

    They've sent me a £10 e voucher to spend when I next shop online. Better than nothing I guess. Would have prefered some free tomato sauces though!!

    Can't believe they cancelled your order without letting you know! you might have had a hungry dog today!

    Go to Tinned foods then to tomatoes then scroll down till u get to Tescos range and they should be there. HTH
    Never buys anything at full price unless completely forced to do so!!! :whistle:

    You are looking for chopped tomatoes.... ,think it is the tomato department.
