Tesco's bad money saving deal!

On a shopping trip to my local Tesco this morning I noticed a dodgy deal on Whiskas cat food pouches (boxes of 12). The deal says 3 for £10-but at only £3 a box on their own you might find yourself spending an extra pound! Watch out money savers

Good on your reading the normal price and comparing it to the offer price as some people dont. A way round it is to pay for the 3 in 2 different transactions eg 1 with your shopping then the other 2 on they're own.0

You won't pay extra if you just buy 3 of these packs!
They are part of a 3 for £10 deal covering a range of Whiskas items, some of which are £3.99 or even £4.65. You could buy 2x the £4.65 ones and one of the OP's ones and only pay £10. If you only buy 3 of the cheapest items you will only pay £9 NOT £10.
See here for the items in the promotion:

It's only a game

Great advice-I hadn't considered that there were other items available, or that I could purchase separately. Thank you!0

It's the only time the cat ever gets the posh end Whiskas tbh. 3x £4.65 for £10 is a good enough deal for me to treat him.Val.0

It is a bt weird how they do these offers, cost the shopper more to buy it on offer.0

i'm not a big fan of tescos - they sent me a clubcard offer email and its so complicated to work out if its a good deal or not - I gave up and shop at asda0

My local Tesco was 4 boxes of Whiskas for £10 which I took advantage of and it went through at 4 for £10 on my receipt.
It was a day or two before OP posted so maybe they changed it on Wednesday? I know alot of Tesco offers end on Tuesdays...0 -
