tesco price match - its a con

vicki+1

did a weekly shop on line, sent my reciept for price check and just got the results, suprise suprise tesco was cheaper. But over half the products have not been matched- these include
tesco sugar free aquash
cadburys creme eggs
budweiser beer
loose closed cup mushrooms
market value broccoli
tesco value frozen prawns
strawberry cheese cake
multigrain hoops

do they really not sell these in asda!!!

custardy

they will use a database
the mysupermarket one?
so it depends what they list and what size

...I had 47 items on my receipt, only 17 were included in the price comparison!!

Although most that were not included were Tesco own brand, doesn't Asda have their own brand alternative??

from terms they use asda home shopping site

1. Price comparisons for in-store purchases are based on what the customer actually buys. This includes price reductions and promotions (such as "half price" and "buy one get one free") but not store or category wide promotions such as “buy 6 bottles of wine and get 5% off” or linksave promotions (such as "buy cheese and get crackers free"). These are excluded as it is difficult to make fair comparisons. Products that are purchased on a "reduced to clear" basis will be compared at the price paid at till.
2. Price comparisons for orders made online are based on what the customer received and paid for.
3. Price data used for the Tesco Price Check is obtained from daily web scans of the Asda Home Shopping site.
4. If prices are found to be different across the website postcodes sampled, we have used the most commonly occurring price

and here

1. The Tesco Price Check website will be updated with Asda prices on a daily basis for customers to check their receipts against.
2. Where the item is not available for comparison on the Asda Home Shopping site, the product is shown as 'not available' (N/A).
3. All prices obtained for Asda are believed to be correct. On rare occasions however, due to the number of prices being checked, there may be some inaccuracies.

Where do you send your receipt for a price check? Thanks.

"Products that are purchased on a "reduced to clear" basis will be compared at the price paid at till." well having bought two loaves at reduced price, it then compared it to full price at asda.....making tesco cheaper. had i bought them at the reduced price from asda...then asda would have been cheaper!

Same with my comparison - a good few items I know I can get from asda weren't included and all the reduced ones were - obvious results. Didn't come as a surprise though as I had bought only reduced items and the loss leaders.

I used this price match website for the first time on Monday evening. They said it would be no longer than 36 hours before I got the results.
