I got caught with a little Sainsbury's scam

Frogletina

In my local they moved the chiller cabinets - I ended up with a pint of milk when all I wanted was a loaf of bread. Didn't notice until I got home.

I had to have a mug of hot milk instead of toast for breakfast. :mad:

If you think Sainsbury's is bad, try Morrison's!!!

How many times do they fill an empty gap of an offer item with something else and NOT changing the signs prices.
It must work for them as it's been going on for ages and ages now!!
I have been caught a few times in the past and got refunded, but it still happens now!!

Ive been caught out by the morrisons trick too(not a scam), item was labelled as being on offer(double checked the weight of the item to the weight on the advertising and it matched) on the shelf so went to a self service till and paid but the item wasnt on offer so got the difference back form CS.

But surely the OP actually had to look at the jar or packet they were buying. In my store, people are forever putting the oregano back amongst the parsley - or whatever, so you have to check you're getting cardomum instead of celery salt. It might then just dawn on you that it also says Schwartz just above it, instead of Sainsburys.

It always bugs me when ppl leave stuff in Lidl in all the wrong places, leaving frozen food to defrost even !

Just seen that myself, they change the price of Easter eggs daily before Easter, just like Roses and Quality Street at Christmas

It refers to the proposals to allow the security services to be able to access anyone's phone calls, texts and e-mails without even a warrant.

So, as it's in such a good cause, why not save them some time and trouble?

Government Communications HQ (GCHQ) is the super secret place (just outside Cheltenham) where they do all this wizzy stuff.
