Tesco meat offers - watch out!!!

Not for the first time that Mr. T. doesn't discount your shopping bill when it should have done!!!!

They have 4 for £12 or 3 for £10 meat deals with the offer labels allover them.

What is the problem with Mr. T. ?? Do they stick offer labels on any meat in sight or ???

It's embarrassing having to have to get refunded as they don't always believe the offer you point out!!!

Is it happening to anybody else??

    Do they have to be £4 each to get the deal or how do you know there is an excluded pack, even though theres still a sticker on it ??

    Last week they were £4 each x 4 with £4 off so AM I RIGHT 'HOLMES' ??

    IIRC it's something to do with the pork and the rest of the meat? Separate offers so it doesnt come off!

    Last week chicken breast £4, chicken breast £4, Lamb chops £4 and pork steaks £4 discounted offer to £12 ( 4 for £12 )

    This week pork/chicken/lamb but no reduction. Some have a single label marked 3 for £10 and some have a double 3 for £10 AND a 4 for £12 label.

    The pork this time is more than £4 - why I have to play 'Sherlock'.?


    Trouble with Morrisons is they don't have much of a meat choice on this deal but they always get it right!!!!

    The pack weights are shrinking too.

    The chicken breast packs used to be 500g, but since the "4 for £12" offer, the weight has dropped to 432g.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Surely it's a good thing? You get double the difference, so your meat is even cheaper.

    Yes thats what I was thinking as well.

    If the "offer labels are stuck all over it" how can they not believe the offer and they HAVE to give you double the difference back.

    You dont get DTD if it's a separate offer. The stickers are on loads of products...and it clearly states on the SEL which products are in each offer!

    TTry buying meat from your local butcher,much cheaper & a far better quality product.Supermarket meat is rarely hung & therfore lacks flavor.My local Asda made the smart call to ditch the in-store butcher & allow a farm shop,McKee Meats, to have a counter there instead.Very smart business sense on their part.(However Asda do still stock their own pre-packed meat.)
