    what a load of hassle I had! Poped into my tesco extra store-got what I thought were the finest meal deal, after looking online and writing down a list of what to get. Bought chicken kiev, turners chardonnay, vegetable side dish and citron tarts - only to be told ahd to have certain ones which were placed at the end of the row! I went to customer services explaining that i had looked online before shopping - but was told individual stores have different meals in the deals???? Has anyone else come across this? Didn't know if I should ring and querie with someone at head office. In the end had to settle to for a wine I didn't really want and pies instead of kievs!!:mad:

    Yes each store does have different items on offer.

    We have 5 tesco's of varying distances close to us and each has some items the same and some items are in some shops and not others. Depends on the size of the store, the products they know sell well in that particular store to to their customers taste's / needs etc etc.

    Which is really annoying cos if I see something in one store then later in the week do a home delivery, It sometimes says not stocked as my shopping comes from a completely different store where said item isn't stocked.

    I am referring to meal deal items.

    1 store doesnt even have a meal deal although it stocks the items. No SEl saying they do, never been brave enough to buy them in case it comes up on the till.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

    Yes I have. Last night bought and input receipt into pricehecker :-

    2 chicken with asparagus
    2 Rosemary potatoes
    1 pack tartes citron(lemon tart)
    1 pack belgian chocolate puddings

    2 turner road merlot

    Total price £20. Recieved a voucher for £11.86 today.

    Wasn't much choice in my local branch, Merthyr Tydfil and the turner road was located in the wine aisle not with meal deal items.

    Will def be visiting again, hopefully they'll have a bit more selection, if not bring on the chicken and asparagus!

    Many thanks to OP. :T:j

    BRILLIANT!!! :D

    Get those thanks in for Misssport, folks!

    Excellent stuff. Bought a meal deal in Pompey (NHBR) - the Turners was only in the wine section. Nothing to indicate it was part of the deal but £10 total :)

    It's quite a cheat online though - if you pull up the Finest meal deal they still show (say) the
    IDShot_225x225.jpg

    but do not explicitly say it is the deal with the deal icon

    specialoffer.pngAdd 1 Main + 1 Side + 1 Dessert + 1 Drink to Basket for £10.

    So it's in the meal deal section on the website but wouldn't work.

    In my local store it was not placed in the meal deal section but next to it.

    Has anybody checked whether beef still works this week?
  • hello this is my first post!! EEK

    I bought the meal deal with one of each of the wines and have posted to the tesco price check thingie so should have my voucher back soon. I know a couple of people have asked about the merlot and I looked on mysupermarket.co.uk which shows that the merlot is the same price as the Chardonnay in asda ... hope that helps !

    Also got the half price discovery torillias down to 29p each with the 50p off voucher in the tesco magazine... best before date in October... so i'll be going back for more!

    Loving this forum ... by the way

    Mysupermarket doesn't really matter one little iota of a jot - still cheaper on the asda.com website - which does :D

    Interesting. Because my chicken and the wine were both not in the deal section - but worked.
