Tesco Shop -V- Tesco Chemist

The same Products are being priced differently even though they are being sold in same store, i.e Nicorette chewing gum can be £2 difference in price depending whether you buy instore or instore chemist. Products sold on the shop floor are invariably different to the instore chemist.:mad: Tescos do not advertise this fact. I have mentioned this on several occasions to the Managers of the Day who reasons are always inconsistant. This inconsistant pricing can cost the ususpected customer an extra £104 a year on Nicorette alone :mad:

    Odd and thanks for the heads up! Wonder why they get away with that, surely theres some sort of trading standards line they have walked over?

    Can not see how it would work as you do not have to pay for things at the pharmacy unless it is a pharmacy only product and they are both on the same till system.

    How did you find this out? Maybe the shelf edge abel was just wrong.

    Doubt if DTD could be carried out and ultimately reduce the cost to purchase..

    I looked at our branch out of curiosity, both pharmacy and aisle had the same price.
