    If they don't give you double the difference back, complain to customer services and if you still don't get any joy (unlikely) take them back for a refund ;)

    You have nothing to lose...but you have a potential 300 packs of batteries to gain!

    :D

    You won't end up out of pocket as you can get a no quibble refund on the batteries if it doesn't go to plan.

    I found a new DTD opp thanks to our friends at Ts and Thorntons (i say "new" but i'm so far behind the thread this may have been mentioned before)

    I noticed today that the normal Thorntons moments tubs had a yellow BTHP sticker of £2 down from £10 offer ending 12/6 (barcode ends 6468)

    The vegetarian moments (barcode ending 7861) have BTHP yellow sticker of £4 also running until 12/6

    Both scan at these advertised prices and were on display at opposite ends of my store. !If you were unfortunate enough *cough* to pick up a £4 veggie tub from the normal £2 tub display you could claim DTD making them free.

    They have been known to get mixed up in the past because they are very similar looking tubs. The main thing to look for is a purple oval sticker that says "vegetarian/alcohol free". These are the ones that should scan at £4

    Obviously this is only of use if your store stocks both types and has the £2 SEL up for the normal tubs but hopefully some of your stores will have this

    I'm not going to take advantage. I have enough tubs left over from when the veggies ones scanned at £10 and Ts paid me to take them away because the normal were ticketed at £4 ;-)

    hi..just been to Mr. t in tro*brid*e, they have in their jubilee lane the B club triple pack chocolate and orange had a SEL of 79p..brought it to the till but scanned at 1.99. Went to cs to ask for dtd, sa went and checked the sel and came back with a new sel of £1.99. Didnt try to argue, I just asked for a refund. might be worth a look in your area...

    Yep, go for it and good luck. If they become trouts and ask why you paid the extra money (seeing as BOGOF didn't come off at the til), say there was a queue behind you, didn't want to hold people up, you didn't look at the amount etc blah blah blah.
    And if they refuse to give you DTD, DON'T accept just a refund on the normal price as once you do that, you won't get your full DTD back. Well done for spotting :T
