Absolutely ludicrous - I still have some of it from when they were flogging it a few months ago for £10 a pop, and frankly it's not terribly good. They are extracting the proverbial with some of these 'offers' - I think it's likely to be down to a change in management of the UK retail side, and the relentless drive to maintain and grow profitability in the teeth of a consumer recession.

It's such an attitude that brought us the ridiculous (but welcome!) DTD farce recently, and I've no doubt that whoever carried the can for that in the end at the Tesco end is now trying to recover their shredded credibility with this latest 'points bonanza' - essentially rip off as many customers as possible with as few as possible noticing, thereby maximising the profitability of Tesco.

I used to like them, but now - it's war...:mad:

This wine seems like a good deal to me:


Yali Winemakers Selection Sauv/ Blanc 75Cl £4.99 with 150 booster points.

Bought 6 bottles this morning at £4.99 each = £29.94
minus £1.50 5% wine discount = £28.44
Got 956 clubcard points = £28.68 when converted to redspottedhanky.com vouchers.

Total = -24p :j

(plus I'll have got 28 more Clubcard points from using my Clubcard Plus so really -£1.08 for me)

I'm off shopping again now. Not as good as DTD but nice to not have to stay under a £20 limit per shop, just one overall limit (per clubcard).

I reckon they've cocked up there - the Yali red with 150 points is £6.99

Better be quick

It is a good deal - 165 points a bottle with CC+ card, worth £4.95 at 3 x value (cue interminable debate about whether they're really worth 3 times - there is stuff that definitively is worth it, that I would buy anyway, so I do get the 3 x value)...

So essentially free wine - can't argue, although personally don't like white, but Sauvignon Blancs are normally drinkable...:beer:

I can heartily recommend the Yali sauvignon blanc, and even if you do not double or treble your club card points it is definitely worth the £4.99 plus 150 additional points per bottle. I bought 6 tonite in my local Mr T and got the 5% wine discount and I am currently enjoying a cool glass of the produce. It is very good indeed, I would say get it if you can.

The 150 points was advertised on the shelf edge but it was strategically placed over the price label for the wine, but lift up the extra points label and it is clearly priced as £4.99.

They aren't doing this because they like you - they're doing it to make more money from you! So why are you so annoyed?

Does anyone know if the bonus points on products are given at Tesco Metro stores please? There were no bonus points sels on any of the beers when I went last night so I wasn't sure if Metro stores give the points or not. I would have asked at the till but there was a massive queue!

TIA

I'm not annoyed exactly, just aware that the 'game' seems to have changed from a year ago or so, when my perception was that they were making genuine offers and good opportunities to make savings, to now where it really is a case of keeping your wits about you - the weekly and sometimes daily re-pricing of goods that are associated with an offer is more blatantly an attempt to get you to unwittingly overpay.

Specifically, charging £33 for that bottle of dubious champagne when the previous 'full price' was at most £25 (I bought a few at £10 on offer a while back) is one of the more extreme examples, as is hiking the price of a bottle of plonk by £3 before putting points on it worth about £3 - that's not a on offer, that's a cynical attempt to shift old stock. There are many more examples on the daily food purchases that are not as extreme, but cumulatively have an impact on the food bill.

It's the change from opportunity to make a saving to having to avoid getting ripped off that, erm, entertains me.:D
