I've had a disapointing Tesco visit. Took an R+R shopping list, found one item Steven Fry - The Little Book of Ignorance, sticker was a penny less than the SEL. Also found a Jamie Oliver sticker a penny less than the SEL. Bought them, charged the right price. I'm sure Tesco did this on purpose.

What can I do now, take them back?

I think they are doing the 1p thing to thwart the Rnrers (my theory). I have noticed this mainly on the meat section with the new SEL's being a penny OVER the price showing on the pack label.

In all honesty how hard would it be for someone at Tesco to monitor this thread and as soon as someone tells us about an R&R especially for 1p over they reduce the price nationwide?

How much would they then lose to say 23,000 people getting the product for 1p less compared to a few people getting R&R. I'd say that they would keep products same price and we both win:D

Was in my local Tesco today, had a quick scan of the xbox 360 games and found one game that had a sel of 37.96, but the game on the shelf had a different sel (in a clear box) of 37.97, the 37.96 sel barcode ended 02, the 37.97 sel barcode ended 00. I am right in that the sel ending 02 was the valid one ?

Personally I would have a bonfire with the Jamie Oliver book...

...and read Mr Fry's offering

Take them back Dude - get a refund.

I know that these Tesco threads do take a lot of reading - but it is worthwhile - I can recall historic posts both pointing out that these two books scan at the lower price.

And well done for getting out there and having a go!

What, Tesco charged the correct price on purpose? That's disgusting! I'd complain to your MP at the very least! :eek:

Enough wacky conspiracy theories please. :rolleyes:

I'm not the Barcode King but I think I'm right in saying that the '00, 01, 02 etc' refers to the latest barcode edition.

So in your example the item would have probably scanned at £37.96 - this being the latest barcode - '02'.

So to answer your question - "Yes!"

PS Do tell - what was the game?
