Tesco.com exploits on Baby Wipes & Heinz Tinned Tomatoes/Spagetti/Beans

fazeypie

exceppt if you could read you would have noticed earlier on in the thread that i didnt gamble my budget as i cancelled the order due to a large unexpected car repair.
i have said this twice during the thread so to recap- I AVOIDED GOING OVERDRAWN BY CANCELLING
you're on my ignore list now so i wont be able to see you repeat yourself with ill informed replies.
ignorance truly is bliss!

Heinz tomatoes and Spaghetti still showing as 2 for £3 for me, Heinz toms vanished from the site, can't find wipes deal but Huggies wipes £1/pack.

Ah, were BOGOF before, still good for the beans though

Why do you seem to be relishing others misfortune?

No not relishing I just think it is hilarious that when people think they are getting one over of a big supermarket or whoever it may be to the extent that they then go and order 50 of the same product only to find out it is not going to work for them and start to feel all sorry for themselves and claim poverty lol

Maybe its just me after a very triky year financially as well it makes me laugh even more but there you go, again my opinion which I am etitled to just as much as you are and the "oh your on my ignore list" poster lmao

Sorry it just made me chuckle thats all, ertainly not relishing others misfourtune but when some of you leave your selves so wide open to it then this board an be dam entertaining especially at a ow point in my life a smile is worth so much

Firstly, just want to state that the DRO was not a put down, just clearing that up in case you construed that way

Sometimes things that should not, make me chuckle too. I can have an odd sense of humor. But maybe sometimes we need to keep things to ourselves. The person you are chuckling at may be having a really hard time. I know from hard times myself, you do take gambles to keep afloat.

Anyway, I am sure you meant nobody any harm and were just being light hearted
I often offend without meaning too

I know the feeling I too seem to offend people on here without meaning to, it heneraly when you don agree with the

So far as the DRO you saw fit to bring it up thats fair enough, I have no problem with that, my debt problems arent due to living a great lifestyle beyond my means it all steams from a failed business, s**t happens and I have not run into a DRO because I believe in paying my debts and am still trying to srt things out with my creditors, you used this information to discredit my opinion on someone buying 50 packets of baby wipes lol again that is your choice I have no probelm with it

I will bow out now and leave the bargain glitches to the people that can obviously afford them

I mentioned that it was not a put down, before you bought it up. It was a flippant comment which had no relevance it was more of a "Oh turn it in folks" comment.

Aside from that, if you do need to get a DRO, then you should. I'd rather being in that position from trying my utmost to run a 'failing' business, than never trying at all. I've never tried, I've not got the guts, you did.

For the trolls information i bought the baby wipes to save money by bulk buying i do this all the time with nappies etc at boots, i'm making the most of the offers available i don't see how a bogof deal is getting one over on the supermarket after all they offered it! What i didn't ask for though is the wrong baby wipes at the wrong price surely this is mr t trying to get one over on me? I can afford to spend the money it's your assumption that says i can't, the reason i have spare money is because i am carefull with it like others here are too.
When there is an offer on something that you will use then i think it's only sensible to be bulk buying if you can afford to as it is nearly always cheaper to do so. I don't call that greed and don't appreciate being called so!
I will be sending the wipes back for a refund with my next tesco order as at that price they weren't worth bulk buying and i will prob stick to boots which do really good offers on the nappies too. Thanks to the op though as it would have been a good offer. Spending something like 37p a pack rather than the usual £1 a pack is a big saving so worth the gamble in my book.

lindseykim13, is it worth calling and speaking to another CS? Tesco have always kept substitutes the same price for me. You also have proof of original price for substitutes. They have always refunded my card without blinking!

I've sent you a screenshot to the email address you pm'd me. I've been out and about all day so I didn't manage to do it until just after 5pm. Other people have called and threatened tesco with the screenshot or have been asked to email it to them and had their money rightfully returned. It may be worth ringing again and saying, oh I just remembered I did a screenshot which clearly shows the offer.
If somebody amended the huggies offer on Monday morning, somebody somewhere clearly knew the BOGOF was on there. I think it's really sneaky of them to try to deny all knowledge of it.
Good on you for stocking up on the bargains. I'm nearing the end of a load of multipacks of babywipes from a boots deal just after Xmas lol! Every good mum knows that baby wipe promos and glitches are there to be hammered when you've got the cash for it

thanks for the screen shot frazypie i have already sent the wipes back as i made a food order for this evening, didn't want the grief of them sitting in the bags by the front door whilst argueing with cs for days on end. I might just complain though as they were practically calling my dh a lier for saying that they were even on bogof in the first place! I'm going to at least fight for my delivery charge back as they messed up not me.
