    What I don't get is that someone obviously has to enter this price on the system. If they enter 1p then surely an alert is sent to the stores (if done centrally) to notify them to remove the stock, much like a product recall.

    And here's one - how is a checkout operator meant to know the difference between an SEL that states 1p and an item that is "dangerous"? If they are the last port of call then they deserve a pay rise for doing a stock taking job as well!

    1. Bought 6 value white mugs with black squiggle on - very nice, don't look like value range 5p each (SEL said 5p) Teamed them with a pretty reduced price tray 1.50. (All trays were reduced from 1.50 to 2.00)

    2. Cinnamon and clove candle in clear glass (like a whisky glass)- 50p from 4.50.

    3. Matching cinnamon and clove Potpourri in bag, Tesco brand, smells divine- 50p from 4.00

    4. pot pourri holders (oblong shape) 50p stoneware i think. Black.

    5. In seasonal aisle found TAKE ALONG THOMAS (works with Take n play thomas by fisher price for 2+ years) set for 3.50 reduced - ROSIE CIRCLE TRACK SET by Learning Curve: contains Rosie (also had with Thomas or Percy) and a circular track.It is a long oval container with Rosie or Percy or Thomas diecast engine on the top. As I had bought the Debenhams special of Thomas and Percy starter set last week for 5.50 :) I was thrilled to bits to get this as i am making up a collection for my grandson for Christmas.

    Then went to Argos and picked up Thomas Take n play set Thomas at the farm reduced from 16.99 to 8.99 no.923/8529. This is a match for the above thomas sets. All the lines and trains work together.

    Smashing day of shopping for Christmas :)
    Hope that helps someone else. May be store specific I don't know. Thankyou for this great thread! I got the coffee! Yaaay!

    I had the same arguement over a pair of Disney Princess slippers reduced down to 1p. Said £2 odd on the sel but went through at 1p so wasn't allowed to buy them. Why are they out for sale if we can't buy them? Bit ridiculous if you ask me! :(

    we've had this prob, so just told sa was going to cs with them and went to another sa, no probs. :D

    Hi, at a Tesco Petrol Station shop this morning I picked up a pack of Wrigley's Extra Fusion (Strawberry Peach Flavour) and it scanned as 1p. The cashier was more than happy to let me have them and since they were right by the till I got the other 2 packs they had. She checked some other flavours but that was the only one which was 1p. SEL said 60p.
  • thanks op just got 4 bags of the coffee x
  • Thanks! I also got 4 bags of coffee! I couldn't find any of the other items unfortunately.

  • Just a thought, if the items really are on recall and they are not allowed to sell them, I wonder what is wrong with them, ie has the coffee got something in it that isnt supposed to be there ?, I know Tesco are probably talking a load of codswallop about the recall, but I guess you never know.
  • Surely though if it is a recall they have to publicise it for those who might already have some at home and remove it from the shelf?

    If there is something wrong and that's why it is 1p on the system then they are opening themselves up to trouble by leaving it on the shelf!
