    Sounds great, I can't get to shops until later will be interested to see if this is working in all stores.

    Found the bedding plants prices vary between the stores
    Priced at £3 in some, £1.50 in others , 75p in one store

    Would be nice if anyone could confirm

    Don't forget if you are buying a few for family and friends you can double up on Cc vouchers for gardening (edit scrap that -you'd have to buy 7 for a £5cc exchanged for £10 voucher to work not sure what anyone would do with 7 baskets lol!)

    Just been to my local tesco big store and there are loads of them there but when i went to check at the self scan till, it was coming up at £5!! so doesnt work here. They all have the same barcode at my store. they have a stickered barcode over another one thats actually on the label. but neither barcodes match the op's.

    Been to two local tescos (an extra and superstore), both had tonnes of baskets but none of them matched the OP's barcode and all scanned at £5. Well done to OP and thanks for posting, but I think this may be a local glitch.

    Pity if it's only local as they are lovely my labels have a sticker over the original barcode all the same as I listed previously

    would not advise doing this, if anyone spots you removing the barcode stickers you could be in serious trouble :(
