Free mega blocks - tesco

caz2703

Has anyone in the Belfast area managed to get one of these? Between me & my folks we've tried 4 stores including an Extra and no sign of the infamous free mega blocks

In my Tesco they were in the clearance aisle area, away from the normal toys section.

Just got back from tesco holyhead..

No mega blocks, no 1p wrapping paper, no chilli (although not too bothered as got some in caernarfon yesterday), no lloyd grossman sauces, no sausages and no sign of Prince William or Kate Middleton (regulars there apparently) - very disappointing

Don't feel guilty, the reason companies put in place promises like dtd is to try and reassure shoppers that they have a competent well run business.

Probably more to do with the fact that such overcharging is illegal so they'd rather keep you sweet than have you complain to Trading Standards about all the times they get it wrong.

Do Tesco have to display a sign up saying DTD in their stores, or will they do it without it been visable?

Can anyone confirm if this is the box they got for free pls?

I have these in my store with an SEL of £11.42. If they go through the till at £30 :T

Leeds Seacroft had 3 boxes with the SEL at £30 and the £15 stickers ripped off the boxes The Harringtons dog food also scanned at £2 rather than the £1 some people have got. I'm sure the Seacroft Manager reads this forum because I rarely find anything!! When I lived in Lancashire I had 3 stores that would regularly get the prices wrong.

Yes that's it. I think I felt guilty because they treated me like I was completely in the wrong and they had everything right. Ten minutes and two phone calls was a bit much. Also the fact that I had to climb behind the travelator to get one and got my bum wedged between some boxes didn't help.
