Newbie basic Q!

Could somebody please clatify something for me, I've read the info post but couldn't see any mention of this...

Does the item HAVE to be on the Tesco website to qualify?

The items I want to buy - Ambre Solaire moisturising sun spray F15/F20/F30 - are on the spreadsheet as confirmed BUT they are not on the Tesco website itself.

They are on the Asda website and I can see Tesco sell them from looking at 'mysupermarket' but the ones that are eligible for DTD don't seem to be on the Tesco website itself.

Thanks

it seems not.
as long as its on the asda web site.
thats what i have read from other postings.

Civil Recovery is how Tesco deal with shoplifters, it means that although the police are not involved, it results in a ban and a hefty fine which is enforced.

Unless your stealing I wouldn't pay it any mind.

I think it's more accurate to say that it results in a demand for a 'hefty fine' which has yet to be enforced by a court.

But yes, it's purpose is to frighten off shoplifters, and innocent DTDers can safely pay it no attention.

There is an app for Android which you can use when in the store shopping. If you have an Android phone you can find it at https://market.android.com/details?id=uk.co.ashtonbrsc.android.dtd or just search for DTD Calculator on the Android Market.

There is also a Windows app. You can read something about this at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/43080050#Comment_43080050

Thank you:beer:!

Just downloaded the app - very easy to use and will be most helpful for doing my shopping!!!

It's so easy to pick up the wrong thing isn't it. Been caught out a few times myself. Got the wrong coffee yesterday, it's £3 cheaper than Asda!!!!

I bought the green beads one, and it was compared with £1.00 from asda.
It was day before yesterday though.

I assumed it was enforced, I read a thread about a guy on here who was caught shoplifting and the police were called who said the civil recovery company (cannot remember the name) would contact him. I believe that they had the power to enforce it through the courts and have it taken from his salary.

I could have read it wrong but as long as security have the required evidence of shoplifting it is enforced.

Sorry, it wasn't particularly relevant to the thread. But to answer the question antrobus is correct, it's to warn shoplifters of the consequences.
