    ok R&Ring was good while it lasted - but I got DVD a while back sel 19.99 charged £44.95 - double the difference makes me hard cash of £49.92 even better.

    Im sure the change of policy will not effect how many prices Tesco get wrong.
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps :T

    well it was good while it lasted , i got loads of R & Rs some i found myself some i had help with (thanks to you all). iv been R&Ring since about oct when i got both ps2 bundle and ninetendo ds bundle, had 2 digital radios , printer and load of xbox stuff, dvds and my freezer is still full of beef and chicken and lamb, and mint sauce seafood sauce and i'v had beer (loads), champayne and chocs. hair straightners x 3 and wax sets worth £40 each , and a birthday card probally loads more. didnt get a telly but i kept watching and would of tried if seen a possability. since boxing day iv managed over £600 worth back on R & R as well as coupons . but is is addictive. i wont shop so much in tescos now ( except when using asda coupons) .
    and will log on to fixtureferrets.co.uk for the best supermarker deals.

    well so long be happy

  • It will be interesting to see if they can work out 'double the difference' on weighed products like meat.
    I'm sure some staff will find it difficult to work out the monetry difference in the 1st place, and even more difficult for someone like to me to work out if they've got it right!!
  • Maybe someone should start a list of stores putting up the new board (A bit like the scanners location list)...
  • We are going to have to work out a magic formula for working out for weight products to help them along there way!
  • So what happens if double the difference is higher than the cost of the item?
  • Are the new policy signs all that size or are some stores just sticking a sticker over the old policy with a the new one?

    The policy board in my store is large one and in another store is written on the wall without any backing

    Doesn't matter, you get double the difference and keep the product. I'm waiting for the inevitable massive misprice on a dVD/video game and will then hit them HARD!! :D

    I've had video games in the past where the product was marked as £17.99 and have been charged £39.99 at the till. In this instance, Mr T would be giving me back £44 and I STILL keep the product!
