Hi

I think there may be some PP scope with the new Breakfast "meal deals for £5" at T, particularly the berry cereal one

http://www.tesco.com/groceries/SpecialOffers/SpecialOfferDetail/Default.aspx?promoId=A30276646

the 2 x cereals are I think £2.99 at T and £2 at A, so assuming they compare that is £1.98 back before taking into account the other items.

The egg and sausage one also has potential as 6 medium free range eggs are £1 at A and the sausages are 39p cheaper. This isn't such a bad deal in its own right

Not sure about the brioche/coffee one

FAQs - Does T PP include promotions? (My emphasis in bold...)

"
Yes. We compare price reductions and most promotions – in Tesco and at Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons*. Included are:

• Multibuy – including ‘buy–one–get–one–free’, ‘buy 2 for £3’ and ‘3 for the price of 2’
• Price cuts – for example, a discount from 99p to 50p

However, there are some promotions which make it difficult to make a fair comparison – no matter who’s running the offer. The promotions we don’t include are4 I]sic[/I

• Linksave – for example, meal deals or when you buy cheese and get the crackers free
• Category–wide – for example, ‘buy any six bottles of wine and get 5% off’
• Reduced–to–clear promotions
• Multiple offers on the same range – this is when Tesco or a competitor has more than one offer on the same products running at the same time, such as ‘buy 2 for £3 or buy 5 for £6’ "

Bit in italicised bold is also very interesting, in relation to multibuy offers - suggests if a competitor has a buy 2 and a buy 5, but if you buy 2, T don't match the multibuy price of 2 for £3 (or if you buy 5, that T doesn't match the 5 for £6). So, it seems nowadays, not all multibuy promotions (of T or competitors) are equal. T may match some, but not others. That's what it seems to me from this, unless I've misread somewhere or I'm wrong.

Or blueberries £3 at Ts and £2 at As - assume you can get two of same item?

Also it doesn't mention being available in store just online - do stores have to honour it!

I can't find the same blueberries in sada (looking for £150g carton).

Looks like you could get a £2.25 PP back -

cereal £2.99 T £2.00 A (2 for offer)
Yogurt £1.00 T N/A A
Apricots £2.25 T £1.98 A

Cost T £5 in the offer.

Regarding the meal deals mentioned in Rootednomad's post.

The T&Cs of PP include the following:
"What are the restrictions?

21. It is important to us to ensure that the price comparisons we make are fair. As a result, price comparisons on Tesco Price Promise are based on what the customer actually buys at Tesco on the date of purchase or delivery. This includes price cuts and most promotions. For example:

o Half price and buy-one-get-one-free promotions whether at Tesco or at a competitor are included as they allow fair comparisons to be made.

However, some promotions are excluded because they do not allow fair comparisons to be made. For example:

o Linksave (e.g. meal deals or “buy cheese and get the crackers free”), category-wide (e.g. “buy 6 bottles of wine and get 5% off”), multiple offers on the same range (e.g. “buy 2 for £3 or buy 5 for £6”) and reduced to clear promotions are excluded because they do not allow fair comparisons to be made irrespective of which retailer is running the promotion.

I think the point you are missing is that Ts PP machine doesn't always recognise that the products you have bought in T or part of a meal deal.

So they compare the products at full price rather than ignore them as they should per the T&Cs
