    Never said I was condoning it but supermarket's are still taking the !!!!. Doubling the price just for putting something in a bag. And it was poor quality by the sound of it.

    Thats business for you. Tesco wouldn't be as successful as they are if they didn't do things like that. Whilst there are people out there who shop without taking into account prices and packaging Tesco and other supermarkets will always profit from it.

    Hi sorry first time here don't know how to start a new post re tesco did I check online to plan my weekly shop saw low fat chicken fillets on offerhalf price £6 down to £3 until 5 June. Good offer went to my local store the chicken was there but the £3 price labels had been covered with the yellow stickers they use to reduce items and the label on the fridge says £6. Unfortunately I don't have a camera phone so couldn't take a photo. Don't know anything about consumer law does any one know if this is legal. If you could let me know as going to write to tesco

    Why on earth would this not be legal! They have covered up the incorrect price and the correct price is clearly shown as £6. I don't see how this could be misleading in any way.

    Also, there is nothing wrong (legally and morally) in charging different prices online and in-store.

    I suspect if you write to Tesco about this non-issue it will be filed away, in the bin.
