I am unsure how the OOD lables work if anyone can shed any light on this i be thankfull as someone mentioned there getting phones with a OOD

All the yellow SELs have an expiry date on them when the offer is due to finish - if you spot one that's finished in the past it's worth scanning to check whether the SEL is out of date or whether they've rolled the offer over but not changed the SEL.

In my experience about a third are OOD SELs, and two thirds rollover special offers, but it depends on the store. Best time for OOD SELs tends to be Wednesdays, which is when they change most of the offers, and it tends to be the smaller SELs, or SELs hidden behind clip strips which are OOD.

Also worth mentioning too - the fact that the deal is out of date makes no difference to your right to claim DTD either, it's not up to you to read the end date it is up to the store to price items correctly and not mislead customers!

But what a shame - sometimes they make mistakes!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I understand Mr T's are selling Andrex washlets for £1... use the coupon available on this very site to save a further 50p... a total saving of £1.38 on usual retail price, worth stocking up on.

I'm pretty new as well & have never found a dtd yet. However as far as I understand it you pay for the item & then go to customer services & point out the error & ask for double the difference & also keep the item:j. Apparently it pays to follow the SA when he/she goes to check the SEL as they can some times remove them & deny it. I have seen comments from others saying take a photo on your mobile of the SEL as proof. Happy Hunting:j:j

Does anyone know if there's a self service bar code scanner thing (excuse my poor knowledge of what it's really called) in the above store, that can be used by customers to check prices?

Thanks.

No they all got taken away except the one upstairs in clothing near the changing rooms but that hasn't worked for weeks, I keep complaining they take no notice.

Hi, it'sjust the refills on offer at £1, I was looking at them this morning,

The containered ones at £1.99, but are only £1.22 in Asda. HTH

I dont think they want them to work coz it makes it easier for people to check for glitches:mad:

If you email Tesco head office, from their website, about any non-working price check scanners they are interested. They take it up with the store manager, and monitor it to ensure it gets fixed.
