Tesco Misprices Thread 14

Tesco ready to eat BBQ chicken drumsticks.
Went through the till at £4 but there was a round red £2 sticker on the product.
Free lunch. Cheers.
This worked for me last night (29th). Sadly only one pack left. Sticker on pack said £2 and SEL said £2 too but small print on SEL said offer expired on 26/6. Charged £4. Got DTD no problem.
Also there's only 4 medium pieces in a pack, so £1 a drumstuck ? I don't think so. Even 50p each is too much - but free is OKStill virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)
It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight. Target 13 lbs weight loss. 18.5lbs lost 2nd May - 28 September.0 -

Tescos Banana Milk and Chocolate milk (same as these)
http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=259281436
are £1.22 each in store.
Written on the actual cartons is 2 for £2, but not coming off at the till.
2 x milkshake = £2.44
Overcharge of 44p, so DTD of 88p
So 2 milkshakes for a total of £1.56
Only works on the cartons that have 2 for £2 printed on (where the red band is at the top of the bottle on the link)

hi guys know most u guys are uk but sometimes offers work both sides the water .
offer changed 0000 gmt this date
monster energy drink 2 for 2,50euro i got dtd on 4 cans . so 75 cent a can
kick energy drink . stopped workin 0000 gmt buy 2 get 1 free . =buy 1 get 2 free with dtd
85 cent per can .
i know i am in republic of ireland but hope this helps someone . i got 3 cans of kick for 85 cent = 75 pence maybe a guess
and 4 monster energy drinks for 75 cent each = 68 pence at a guess

I can't see that many that have changed price, that would have offered a decent return

Have been reading with great interest about double the difference and scanning aisles just to see a mix up. Planned to go this morning knowing it was change over day......
Ok its not great I shall admit but saw 4 tubes of smarties down to £1 end date was yesterday full price £1.74.... saw an opportunity grabbed 5 packs incase! Sis grabbed 4. Get to till sure enough go through £1.74. head to CS who check the aisle and say no it says full price! I got quite angry at this knowing it said £1.00! 10 mins later she comes back after speaking to 4 ladies changing labels and apologises after i demanded to see the store manager! she had looked in the wrong place and it did say £1. (also stocked on same aisle all the rocky choccy bars down to £80p or so half price end date yesterday picked up 5 but they scanned at half price!
)
Double the difference back didn't even need to remind them about it, got £1.48 back cash per pack so paid £1.30 or so for 20 tubes of smarties walking out with £7 or so!
Only wish it was something bigger and better but still for my first try im pleased!! So is my 2 year old! :j0
