So, it's just the Mail saying that, not Tesco.

I wouldn't believe everything in that story.

Makes £600 per day, price guarantee capped at £15 per transaction = 40 shops per day. He/she clearly says he goes to the shop then goes back 3 hours later, you can't do 40 shops per day like that.



Show me, I'm interested.

1/10 for observation skills.

In the article they say the £15 cap is new, since some people (including people from MSE) have been raking it in.

People on this thread have mentioned noticing other prices from different people/areas and themselves in different stores.

I didn't post here to do unlimited donkey work for you ... that's your lot.

We all know that stores across the country charge different prices - except Asda who have one price across the board ... but .....

... this says otherwise

In 2000, Tesco and other big supermarket chains assured the Competition Commission that it operates a "national pricing policy" – charging the same prices for its products in all of its stores

Tesco caught operating two-tiered pricing

Presumably, any one who has evidence that Tesco are in breach of this undertaking should contact the Competition Commission.

They only went up to 12p today! Tesco change prices twice a week, overnight on sunday and overnight on Tuesday. The peas were 4p for weeks, then 3p for last week and then went up to 12p overnight last night. HTH.

They're 3p on Tesco.com today - http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=253347801

Tesco normally charge more if they are the only major supermarket in that town as they can get more money that way as many of that town's population cannot drive to the next town 5-10 miles away and shop around.

Witnessed this myself on saturday-took my boy to football and popped into the whitely store with my list of t's bargains to grab.
Mushy peas meant to be 3p-were 12p in this store
Gold fairy meant to be clearance 49p-full price
and other bits were much higher priced than my usual store.

Popped into fareham then on way home
mushy peas 3p
fairy 49p

thought it was strange to have different prices, then found this thread tonight so that explains it!

I would hazard a guess they charge more as whitely store is kind of out the way of any competition. Interesting.
