Tesco DISCUSSION, grabbits and misprices thread 11+

janeym8

ok all checked my shopping list late last night and found a few things im not sure about so advice needed please

1--pilgrim cheese-the SA was just putting out on shelf and no price so i asked her she said-£4.07 and i thought the offer was BOGOF not BIGTF so only got 2 and was charged for the 2

2--no persil left so bought tesco bio powder the price on bill was £5.30 which was right when i checked online but im sure it was much cheaper than this it was on a stack at corner of an aisle i think they had price for smaller boxes advertised

3--bought 3x 4pack la romanellas tin toms which im sure were advertised as BIGTF but i was charged £3.49 for each 4 pack so OMG over £10 for 12 tins toms when i normally buy the value ones

i got them from a tescos quite a distance from me so dont wanna just nip back due to fuel costs and i hate phoning although think im gonna have to but advice on best thing to do would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance

Hi there HappyChappy


You have to remember its an online forum and sometimes posts can be read in different ways by different people.


I read kt's post and thought it was nothing other than a direct show of support for "im obsessed with mr t" and his difficulties.



Just my opinion.

Seems you have made a few boo boos.

The cheese is B1G2F so charging you for 2 was correct.

The tomatoes are an extortionate price but correct... how they get away with it is criminal!!!!!!

The soap power, again would be about the right price as the persil one is normally £6.40.

If you have a more local Tesco to you they will normallt take back the soap powder and tomatoes. The cheese is a different matter as it is chilled, but as you are not returning it but just asking for another one and £4.oo odd back it may be ok!!!

morning fellow mse. i had a no spend day yesterday. gonna pop out today though. i will report back.

I had a no spend day the day before yesterday too. Yesterday I spent but was in credit (or will be with my golden ticket... but only a small amount!)

I wonder if we need new terminology?

No spend day, (self explanatory)
credit spend day, (golden dtd, or glitches that put you in credit)
real spend day, etc? (bog standard, normal shop)

What dya reckon?
What will it be for you guys today?
NSD
CSD
RSD

Hmm. I need milk so it's probably a RSD for me

My children were/are home educated & we come in contact with many 'Special children'.

This is not a put down as these children ARE special in more ways than one & often it is not recongnised within society & especially the education system.:mad:

Please search the home education forums as there is a wealth of information & advice.

If you need any links pm me.
