Tesco misprices and discussion (Thread 12)

DPhoenixUK

I was looking to buy a Radio Controlled Mud Slinger car for my son (more for me really, but shhhh!) and when i arrived at Mr T in H0r$4am i noticed that the £35 sel had gone and the half price toy sale red dot sticker had been roughly ripped off. I scanned it and it scanned at £100 quite disappointed, i wandered upstairs to price check some galaxy bars and noticed a pile of r/c racing cars, by the same manufacturer, but not the same cars, with a big A4 price of £35 and the trusty red dot half price toy sale sticker on it. Having knocked several old ladies out the way to get to the scanner as quickly as possible, it scanned at £70. Whoooop. free with DTD. b/c ends 8132 and is a New Bright invader Radio controlled off road sports buggy. Both red and black designs work. If anyone can find the mud slinger trucks by the same people (bigger scale pickup truck or land rover), then theres a £30 DTD payout to take it away as the sel is £35 and scans at £100

Thank you Carla - I just bought 3 packs and the SA didn't even bother to remove the SEL. I go through a lot of Mr Kiplings cakes as my DH takes a couple each day for morning and afternoon breaks, so a bargain for 60p for 6 cakes. This was in the [EMAIL="Blackp@@l"]Blackp@@l[/EMAIL] store.

What are they playing at in Mr T's. I found & gino dewotsisnam & Denby dinner services today. Both on offer SEL expiry date 15.1.12 so unless I'm mistaken that means they are out of date. Great excitment except they both scanned for less than SEL. Does that mean I would have to pay Mr T's dtd!!

what a digrace!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

just got 12 bottles for 72pence

its marked up 53pence a bottle but scanning through at a quid so after DTD comes to 6pence a bottle

£1.00
-£0.53
=£0.47
X2
=£0.94 DTD

i took the last from Serpintine green sorry folks but i think its national

Thank you so much for this tip off. I just bought 10 from the [EMAIL="Blackp@@l"]Blackp@@l[/EMAIL] store (the SA did remove the SEL though). The Imperial Leather Sublime and also the Japanese Spa were incorrectly priced. They had the Imperial Leather in a few different places all with the correct SEL saying "£1 save 53p" and I'd just about given up hope of finding them incorrectly priced and then saw some on the top shelf saying "53p save £1", so check your store thoroughly.

Hi everyone
been lurking here for a little while now and thought about time i joined in. amazed at all the deals you all are finding, i never seem to find any glitches in my local:(. Looked for the 9pk of mars but none of the stores near me are stocking them or the disney stocking things. Did ok today though, got a £20 shop for £10 using coupons and luncheon vouchers, including some nice bath bits rtc for 50p each- straight into the box of bits i collect for my boys playgroup raffles.

Welcome hun looking farward to getting to know you, stick around and keep posting xxxxxxx

Damn, very annoyed now as I got a meal deal to get JTD back (wouldn't have paid a tenner for it all, but was happy with £6.61 after my JTD) which probably isn't going to happen now then:mad: as I got reduced baby foods that won't be cheaper at ADSA so Tescos bill will be cheaper.

Was pleased with my reduced baby foods but now it's not really worked in my favour :mad:

Don't loose heart just yet ... sometimes the PChecker doesn't price match an item even if A stocks it.

I got 2 of the meal deals tonight (would have got 4 but only had 2 bottles of the wine) and then bulked out my shopping to use a £5 off £40 coupon with stuff I knew couldn't be matched (digital scales, 2 casserole dishes and an egg poacher). I'll keep these a week or so and then return the scales and dishes. I've just worked out that by doing this my meal deal will work out at £4.10 each. :T

Yes .. I got 2 Mason Cash 24cm Sq Roaster tonight. SEL = Reduced from £12 to £8 ... scanned at £6 ???
