TOMMEE TIPPEE ULTIMATE CRYSTAL CLEAR SURESOUND

Beginners Luck!! Went to Tescos tonight to try out 'glitching' and after self scanning 3 items, found this top rated baby monitor (for my first grandchild:)) - Over the moon, and so is DD!! (I'm hooked now)
https://www.tescomumschoice.com/viewproduct.aspx?productId=271227495
The monitor was security tagged, and although there were other monitor models/brands on the shelf, there was only one of each (perhaps stock control?) The shelf price (SEL?) was £109.99 for this one.

Good luck for anyone else looking for a baby monitor!!

    It does- means shelf edge label

    I think it's because you've put Tesco error - that gets us all excited for a start then the SEL £27 in the title AND further down says again SEL £109 ?
    Perhaps change title of thread to supercheap baby monitor SEL £109 scans £29

    Top tip, thanks. Sorry to get you all excited! Hopefully the beginners luck will stay with me for a few days, it would be great to pass on something that would appeal to more people (baby monitors limited)

    the title says Tesco error, but it's not an error really is it, just a reduced price that they haven't got round to changing the SEL for.

    Dougs - do you think so? I believe it to be an error, the same monitor is £110 in Mothercare, and around the same price everywhere else. Either way - its a lovely bargain. (a few used of the same model selling on ebay at £50ish) Could be a little pocket money maker for someone, if inclined.
