Tesco pricing labels...

N20Y1D

Are they allowed to display adverts like this where they have the money saved labelled up far bigger than the actual price?

Very misleading if that is the case.

yes because they have put Save..... and listed the price. It is clever marketing unfortunately, one im sure many of us have been caught out by!x

Yes I have noticed they have started doing this quite a lot now, you really have to be very careful as so easy to get caught out!

Yes I noticed this last week.
Very naughty of them. I bet a lot of people in a hurry get caught out by it.

£2.25 for 24cans would be great!

If someone is not capable of reading should they be trusted to do the shopping at all?

This is not a Grabbit - OP if you PM one of the BG's they can move this thread to a more suitable board.

They have been doing this for some time - even I got caught out by it once, and I personally think I am quite savvy!

its all well and good saying people should be able to read etc
but should shopper have to scrutinize every label?
do elderly people stand and read every bit of a label?
harrassed mothers with children?

i think its jolly bad practise
it isnt needed
and they should stop it

I agree. Tesco is obviously trying to trick people, and that is illegal.

In other countries competitors would take Tesco to court - but I guess it is not that easy in England? BTW, do they also do that in Scotland?

I think the most important information should be the biggest - which is the price you pay.
