    Got a stunner yesterday at chelmsford (miami roundabout)
    Panasonic KX-TG5522 barcode 5025232553266 twin pack digital cordless answer phone.
    Expired SEL (26-12) half price at £48.50 (checked price first) scanned at £99, Brought 2 for £198, customer services lady very nice and polite refunded me £198...thank you tesco!!!

    where did you bring them from?
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Well done you! Can I ask if you had much shopping or more expensive items as when I found a Dtd on a dear item light years ago I was asked how I didn't notice as I only had £20 or so shopping so I should have noticed the bill before paying. Mine too was on phones. The manager was called and I felt embarrassed and given it as he didn't care but if I get trolled next time what can I say? Dtd seem to be few and far between it seems nowadays too.

    If I buy something like the phones and the bill is big, I just say I was chatting to the cashier and wasn't concentrating, and it wasn't until you walked off that I thought it was a bit much. Makes no odds anyway, an overcharge is an overcharge :)
  • My other shopping was 4 cans of larger, no one questions it at all
  • but what if you hadn't noticed? what if you were some forgetful old pensioner? putting out shelf tags with misprices is illegal is it not according to trading standards? expoliting tescos illegality seems ok by me

    I never say anything, just 'I have been overcharged' - never been asked why I haven't noticed. Now and again I have to remind them that its double the difference but not too often. And always, always, always go with them to check the SEL just in case it disappears ;)

    You should have retorted 'why didn't the SELing staff notice it was £x more than it should've been'!
