just wondering how you guys know all the things your overcharged for, do you take note of the price of everything you buy? I just pick up what I want buy it then walk out (more the fool me!!) unless it was something particular I wouldnt even notice!
this is not meant to cause offence, im just curious!

i just take more notice now!

even take notes as you go round,

the mrs puts it in trolley , i note it!

even if its £3 , its £3 in my pocket!

worth the extra 5 mins work,

+ the free tv's etc :rotfl:

Postman,

What is interesting postman is that you, along with many others, have not complained about being undercharged (or at least not on here)....i wonder why that is....

You make a very valid point, of course. However, your post made me think about the whole under-charging scenario more, and I have realised that the fairly suspicious fact is that IME (and that means a whole 'family shop' with Tesco every week, split over several days) and checking of receipt with a fine tooth comb and all that, undercharges seem to be incredibly rare. Although I have frequently found overcharges on stuff I hadn't planned to. Any ideas why that would be?

Edit: Answering my own post; maybe it's because us shoppers don't complain when we get one, so the SEL doesn't get removed. Which begs the question; what do PID do?

Think I might risk going into labour in Tescos for a 32" LCD telly!!!

Maybe if you give birth in store they might give you a years free supply of nappies, I heard this happened once in another highstreet store but cant remember which. It may have been mothercare.

With a 6 month old im waiting for an error involving pampers:D

HI, this sounds a silly question but being a fairly new r n r'er (got smaller stuff) how would you know the price of the tv as there is only a price on the SEL & you cant really scan a box other than taking a risk on it going through at a different price. Any ideas or advise on how people have done this would be welcomed.....just interested
Thanks

I would class you as the archetypical Tesco shopper (no offence intended, btw!). Look at it this way - based on the Irish Govts findings in 1999, shoppers like yourself are contributing 50% of tesco's amazing profits (allegedly!). surely that point makes you want to get that receipt out and CHECK IT?

yep

Then as im leaving, i scan through my shopping and find the overcharges, ubless of course i already know which ones might be an o/c, then im ready for the war at cs desk:rotfl:

also nearly had a free hoover today

my younger brother ( we r+R as three brothers :beer: ) spotted sel of 69.97, expired few days ago and originally 79.97

so off he goes to get a trolley and lugs it over to price checker, comes up at 69 97 :mad:

hoover dumped in aisle in trolley by price checker :rotfl: :rotfl:
