  • I picked up a teen girl long T shirt today, it was a cherokee and was white with an abstract pink and mauve pattern on the front. It was marked up at £1 when I got to the checkout it was snatched away and I was told that I couldnt buy it as it wasnt on the computer as it had been in the sale too long! I dont know if it actually came up at 1p as I didnt see and the CO was so quick.

    I came across F&F ladies thermal underwear (more like lounge wear).

    Wrap top marked £8 came up as £2

    Top marked as £5 came in at £1.25.

    Leggings at £7 came out at £1.75.

    A £20.00 set cost £5.00.

    I held up the que while I went back for more. Staff were lovely; some even went to grab theirs.

    Bargain; I'll be cute and warm this winter.

    I took the H & S colour care shampoo and the Colmans cheese and bacon mix to the price scanner in my local. They both came up with a message on the screen saying to contact a member of staff (or words to that effect) so I left them.
  • dear grannydot dont be worried, all that it means is that the item is not on file so at the worst the staff member will tell u that they can't sell the item

    I get that message sometimes but I think it means there's a problem with the pricechecker not the item as I've then scanned the item at a different one and it tells me the price ok. I've never had it happen with the 1p items so again its not specific to them.

  • For anyone with android phones there are a few apps for tesco. One is called paperless list the other is called tesco shopping there is also a new one called Tesco grocery shopping. All these apps have a barcode scanner and search function which may be useful instore for scanning items if the store scanner isn't working.
    Maybe there are similar apps for the iphone too.

    How do people have so much luck finding these 1p deals/glitches? Is there a way of searching online by price please :question:
