Tesco con again!!!

A pricing mistake is not necessarily a 'con'. I expect it would be very difficult to prove that Tesco were deliberately trying to get you to spend extra. It's more likely that they're just a bunch of numpties.

if the op wants a little grumble then where's the problem with that?

sounds like sour grapes because you asked a question to which the answer was pretty glaringly obvious.

Not sour grapes at all. Salt is used for a number of things so the answer wasn't obvious at all.

And it's 29p for crying out loud. You can get **** all for that now

The Op could have got an extra bag of salt for 29p and still walked out with change.

And still have two pence change for the bus fare home.

But if you look at the bigger picture, if 10000 people took up on that offer, how much profit will tesco make? So, it is not just about the 29 p.

Doesn't make it a "con" though, just crafty marketing.
