When shopping today I noticed that most of the yellow SEL offers expire on the 24th October - next Tuesday - loads of them all around the store. Has anyone else noticed this?

I would imagine that unless they are very hot at changing labels in the early hours of Tuesday morning, there will be rich pickings for R&R on Tuesday

So say you went just after midnight.now 25 Oct,could get the misprice if they still have them displayed?:money:

I would love to know the answer to this - I seem to remember there was some discussion further back in this thread about the variation in the actual time that the new prices are activated.

Trouble is when lots run out on same day they can almost do a clean sweep of the store as regards the promo sels. We all hope that they will miss some but it is sometimes the one off products on offer that they miss. I noticed that the last lot of offers all seemed to finish on the 10th October. Fingers crossed that the price integrity person will get distracted and forget where she/he got to.

I'm not certain but I believe there is something like a 2hr overlap allowed.

I know that the tills used to update at just past 11pm, this was about 2 years ago so I dont know if anything has changed

Last week I went shopping on a Tuesday evening at about 8 and lots of the offers were up and working already.

Thought I'd be clever today & I got 2 of the umbrellas charged £4.98 each instead of £4.97.
Thought if I'd choose a lower price gift that would come up as free £3.21 pencil booklet gift. Which it did.
At CS they were all discussing the free gift 'What should we do, blah blah'
They finally refunded one umbrella & deducted £3.21 from 2nd umbrella £4.98 so refund £6.75.
Just accepted this as was running late for funeral.
Looking at it now I really haven't been refunded for 2 umbrellas.
Next time I will say blow it & pick up 3 of the same mispriced goods, same price= £4.98 + £4.98 + £4.98 = £14.94 - multibuy £4.98 I pay £9.96.
CS then want to refund me £9.96 minus the £4.98 multibuy = £4.98 refund.
Clearly would be refund of only one brollie. Stronger argument & clear.

I felt like telling them to refund the booklet kit & them keep it & refund both my brollies for me to keep.

on one of my successful trips this week I picked up 5 Brollys, confused the hell out of CS, the buy 3 get cheapest free, I just said, Well if your policy is refund me on all mispriced items, just give me the total back!!

LOL should have seen his face!

Unless it's fish!! I've found out acouple of times that sometimes mispriced fish, goes through at te SEL!

Just the fish, Why only the fish? Wht if I didn't eat land living creatures??

Sorry, to much of the full bodied red stuff tonight!! :rotfl:

If the price on the pack is the price you pay how are you overcharged? If the piece of steak is £2.88 and it scans at £2.88, I can`t get the refund, is that right?

I understand if the price per Kilo is less you get more meat for your £2.88, but if that is the price of the pack when you pick it up, and that is the price you pay, what can I say to CS.

No no no,
an example,
Fish - SEL £3
- pack price £3.50
you think you are onto a winner, but "POO" the pack scans at the cheaper SEL, not the price on the pack! It just happens on the fish, well in my experience!
