TESCO Silly Price Electrical Items

jamsponge

Well not a total wasted journey today. At P3t3rborough 3xtra for 6 am. 2 hairdriers. Popped into W1sb3ach and got 4 cameras. Cant believe it. Then a nice man told me he had a HP netbook. Thought it was £150 and when he scanned it it was £79. I hardly ever get a bargain so I am really pleased. Thats xmas sorted. Thanks to all posters.

Nowt much in the nevahetihw store.

Got a 7" Tecknika photo frame £9.97.

Missus spotted a 'Tesco 1 Hour Charger' (inc 4 x 2000mAh NiMH batteries) with a SEL of £2.00. It's discontinued AFAIK and I dunno what the proper price is supposed to be, but I thinks it's around £10. Also comes with 12v car adapter.

However, there was a 'Tesco 3-in-1 Charger' (inc 4 x 2000mAh NiMH batteries) and very similar in design (+USB cable), next to it with the SEL missing.

The 'Tesco 3-in-1 Charger' scanned at £13.97ish and I wonder if maybe the SEL was removed because is was reduced, but scanning at the higher price. Maybe a good DTD to be had (if the still do that?)

The CS lady that confirmed the £2.00 price of the 1-hour charger was gobsmacked and asked if there was any more.

There wasn't as it happens as I got the last two, but only because it was actually cheaper than 4 x 2000mAh Tesco batteries, which are a pricey £8.00 alone.

At B*ld0ck this morning, I got the last Karcher cleaner for £15 and a Halo Alarmdock for £15. I spoke to electrical guy & he said most things went Friday for silly prices and added that "to be honest most went to staff". Had lots of VO5 straigheners for £6.

EDIT - they did have 2 Rio Sonic Cleanse facial cleaners for £5 left on shelves

Have you got the karcher model number or last 3 digits of bc pretty please?

It's the Kärcher A2234 Pt 1400 Watt Diy Multi-purpose Vacuum. Last 4 digits on barcode are 2710
It was on the normal shelves with other vacuum cleaners - SEL did say £15

I'll be heading out to Wishaw later too! Can I join your gang?

Hi :hello:

I am another one! There is also Magsmorris & Cherrypie who pops in from time to time although our store is not her local so there are a few! I am going after work but don't hold out much hope, my friend works in there & told me they were closing at 10pm to start reducing stuff but a lot of the staff were stashing stuff :mad:.

I alerted a member of staff this morning to the laptops, he'd not heard anything so was off to scan stock out back when he gets a chance. I think the electrical guys are keeping a lot to themselves! (not that I blame them).

Anyone been to Brac@@ne*l, just wondered whether I would have any luck there, would love a scooter for my DS

Not all staff are stacking stuff away, mostly people working for Tescos who should know better and probably not on min wage ie managers, supervisers, customer sevices are the main greedy ones.
I am not jealous as I have a few things that Im happy with but I have witnessed Customer services staff price checking then stashing items behind when they should be serving, however I have also spoke to a checkout cashier, commenting that she needed a toaster but no cheap ones available when she has looked as I went through the checkout with mine I felt abit sorry for her she said she had put through loads of cheap items but could never seem to find them on the shelf.

My store was closed for the whole of a week and only reopened last monday

During this time I think all of the bargains had been cleaned off the shelf

The store was completely refurbished, yet there are barely any electronics on the shelf

I keep going in and scanning things hoping I'll get something for cheap

If anyone has a spare netbook in the croydon or hammersmith area, please let me know

Gonna try one last time after work
