    Silly question when you do DTD on these joints do you buy other stuff on receipt ? I still not been able to buy one frightened lol.


    Usually with other shopping. Don't be frightened tweets. T will take your money without a qualm. They provide an 'if we charge you more etc' purely to get the company off the hook. They don't lose any sleep over customers that they overcharge. I look forward to you writing about your dtd;)

    Help wanted please.
    Is this product half price i.e. £4.99 in your store
    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/Bacon/Tesco_Finest_Oak_Smoked_Wiltshire_Cure_Gammon_Joint_Approx_13Kg.html

    In mine they have a few with a silver half price sticker on at £4.99 and a few with no sticker on at £9.99kg. The shelf label does say £9.99kg but p'boro does not like giving DTD so I was wanting to confirm that this product is on offer.
    Just got trouted so I need to go to customer services with some facts. I do hope someone can help. Many thanks:)

    I wouldnt seek DTD on a full price product unless there was a half price sel

    They could just say the half price stock is leftover from a promotion

    Dtd is if you are charged more than sel or pack price
