TESCO Silly Price Electrical Items

Has anyone tried using their tesco iPhone app for scanning in the shops to price check?

I've just tried it at home it's scanned a kettle and a fireman Sam toy fine, but nether of these were in the sale

Anyone out there with iPhone willing to try this out at home on sale items??

Would be really handy in store!!

It doesnt work, as each stores prices are individual, I always struggle to get a signal, better of just going to the checkout and saying, can you do a price check please, thats what I do. When it comes up fu price just say HOW MUCH, thats going straight back, when it comes up cheap say BARGAIN i'll be having that.

Has anyone been to M3rthyr? Looking at store locator seems to be the only one left in my region worth going to as I'm sure Culv3rh0use X, Card1ff P3ng4m, and Card1ff will already have been "looted", so to speak

... Tydfil? Where are you based?

There's a store in P0ntypr!dd (normal I think), an Extra in Talb*t Gr33n, C&erph!lly (normal again)... which all seem to be between C4rdiff and M3rthyr

Yeh i scanned them too, over £100 they were.. went straight back on the shelf! :rotfl:

I didn't get the chance to check for the Lumie clocks but i noticed the had loads of the tv stands which are meant to be going through at £1. The label said £14 something i didn't bother getting them scanned, maybe next time when i have a trolly with me

Oh and I got some 370g Pilgrims cheese b1g2f £4.07 each but taking off £8.58 at the till

The Pilgrims Choice will be a great deal then if the 30p coupon x 3 can also be used !!

Reluctantly accepting I am not going to get a bargain netbook or laptop as my local has now got a new display with new models only

Don't give up! I was categorically told on Monday, that there wouldn't be any 'reduced' Laptops on Sale in my particular store, they only had the 3 that were already on the shelves, and they were only
reduced by £30, to £299.
When I went in this morning, the same SA told me they'd had a delivery of reduced Laptops. She couldn't believe it herself. She said it is usually only the stock they already have in that they then decide to reduce, but this little lot had been delivered purposely to sell at the reduced prices?!
Keep trying!

Those ppl missing out on Netbooks / Laptops etc. Don't be too disheartened!. I missed out by a day at my local apparently, in fact the staff said they were fed up of ppl asking them to check barcodes etc on a daily basis to check the prices!.

The models of Laptops and Netbooks being hugely reduced are being done so for good reason I was told. This is very old stock that is likely to struggle with anything you throw at it today. It probably is worth spending the extra money to get something that will still be useable in a few years, rather than something that will struggle as soon as you start using it.

Just my thoughts on all this.
