Tesco special offers - when to order?

chaliepud

Hi, I've just gor half way through an internet order to be delivered Wed 3rd and noticed that almost every special offer I have put in my basket can be fulfilled as the offers end tomorrow (2nd). Why can it not show me what is on offer for Wed deliveries???? When can I start my order again with it showing the relevant offers do you think?

I also find this very annoying - have often put 'bargains' in my basket - only to find they would only be relevant if delivered the following day - which I'd be too late to book anyway!
Most irritating. They do have other offers that are going on longer - but they should find a way around this. We don't wnat to be checking the date of every offer.

The offer always tells you when it will expire. Takes a second or two to check, not going to eat a massive hole in your day, stop being lazy and read.

The offers change on a Tuesday, usually during the morning.

I do my shopping Tuesday afternoon and have never had a problem with offers running out as they are new ones that start from wednesday.

might say the same to you - the op says "Why can it not show me what is on offer for Wed deliveries????" They can't read what isn't written there can they?

...or Thursday deliveries, or Friday or next Pancake Tuesday? Not sure they can apply the software to cater for every eventuality.

Basically Tesco offers always end on Tuesdays, just as Morrisons always end on Sundays. Yes, there are longer term offers, as there are in all supermarkets but generally I find it easier to assume all offers will end on the Tuesday then I can be sure of getting the offers I want. I tend to check Tesco's offers on a Wednesday & Morrisons on a Monday & then sort out my list accordingly.

Thanks for nearly all the replies (in fact all but one!) I'm clearly not too lazy to check or I wouldn't have noticed. Perhaps they could stagger their offers more so peeps don't miss out so much. Will wait until this evening to order for Thursday instead and pop to Sainsburys for bits in the meantime!

My offers change on a Thursday. I always order on Thursday morning for delivery Friday afternoon.

No I don't!

I stick the essentials in on a Tuesday - milk, bread and maybe a crate or 2 of beer just to get over the minimum order amount, then I amend the order on Thursdays and delete the beer (sometimes)! Thats how to get around it...
