    im convinced that teso know what they are doing anyway. They often dominate the first page on here, they have such a stong overcharge policy (DTD) and im convinced that its somthing that they deliberately do or maybe an honest mistake that they choose to ignore for a while to get people into their stores. I used to always shop at asda and never stepped foot in a tesco because of how expensive i find it, now however i only go to tesco just incase i can spot a great bargin, price mistake or DTD to post on here. i believe its one big marketing ploy that works out in their advantage in the end. They now have my custom for my weekly shop

    I agree with you totally.

    Found another glitch from Mr T if anyone is interested in a suit (possibly works on other items that come to ~£50 too?)

    Riskier in that it's home delivery, so they may void it... plus if it's fulfilled the CC points can easily be revoked by Tesco at a later date - but charging more *shouldn't* be allowed, I'd certainly fight it anyway! So for me even just under £40 is fine because I need the stuff anyway!

    do you think in would take 84 packs of batteries back at one go the the same store? i was thinking maybe few at a time and would simply say that i bought the wrong ones!

    and i didnt get them because i need batteries, i got them because everythings a struggle financially and it nice and feels realy good to take advantage of glitches when it means i can save some money and get buy little treats for me and my kids that i couldn't normally afford.

    That's exactly why I got them too. We will use plenty of these batteries in the childrens toys, tv remotes etc and I have already started offering them out to my family and friends.
    I got mine from N*wb*ry Extra. Brought 54 packs in three separate self scan visits and I'm delighted. I added big boxes of Persil that's currently half price, a tub of Heros to keep for Xmas, kitchen roll, loo rolls etc etc. Total should have been just over £200 and I paid £9!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Batteries are 18 x £3.50 = £63.00. Discounts are 'Batteries 2 Free -£42.00 and Buy 1 get 1 free -£31.50', total to pay = -£10.50.

    Just waiting for someone to confirm that it is still working today so that the madness can start all over again!!
