Tesco - kid's games for buttons!

hellenic

Popped into Tesco this evening to buy 1 or 2 Christmas presents for various children.

On the shelf with 'Buckaroo' and 'Operation' board games was a label saying 'Buy 2 Get The Cheapest Free'. I was unsure whether this referred to a 3 for 2 offer or a Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer...checked with staff and it is more of a Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer, although there is a difference of about 50p in the price of these 2 games so you end up paying for the most expensive one.

Anyway, when I got up to self-scan till, put them through, it should've been £6.49 and £6.95 (roughly) for each item, so I was expecting to pay around £7. However, the till automatically deducted just under £10 so I ended up getting both games for £3.70!

V.impressed and am back in tomorrow to get some more!

Hope this helps

Not at my local, sadly. Prices had been removed, and I hoped this was to discourage people from buying. £6.49 and £6.97. £6.97 deducted, though.

I wonder if it would deduct more if you bought one of the more expensive games? Some were £12-odd.

Never mind - I think Buckaroo and Operation are the only ones we've not got, so they'll come in useful!

Did they go through together or in separate transactions?

Will need to try my Tesco at the weekend. Does anyone know if its only Buckaroo and Operation that are around the £6 mark or do they have other games too.

Thanks for the tip. Could be getting some of my christmas shopping too.

Hi, those that bought multiple games did you pay separately for each 2 lots of games or does it work when you buy 4 together in 1 transaction.
