Morrisons supermarket false advertising?

I just bought a tub of coleslaw at a advertised 50% extra free.... But there is only 300g in the tub, and it is labelled at 450g (the offer is 450g for the price of 300g) but the 50% or 150g is missing... So what can i do or should i do about this? Many thanks.

    Is the advertising about the 50% actaully on the tub or was it a shelf edge label or sel
  • Yes, it is a big red label printed on the tub and it isn't a sticker so it is certainly the advertised offer...

    i dont think you have lost out in monetry terms as it seems a normal 300g tub had mistakenly got in the wrong batch and had the advertisigng put on it

    mention it to morrisons and see what they say
  • the tub states 450g on it, but there is only 300g in the tub.

    A 95% off discount card for your entire natural life and £10,000 compensation.

    Oh no, sorry - just your money back.

    I would think you are entitled to 150g of coleslaw or £10 Million - Whichever is less.

    What do YOU think you are entitled to now you have been royally ripped off for 150g of poxy coleslaw?
