EXPIRED SPECIAL K GLITCH - 3 for £2
Comments
-
IT WAS ME !
One oap and one disabled, ready with bus pass to travel by bus over the causeway to Portland Tesco to hopefully cash in on this to save a bob or two. Pouring with rain, but have determination. Will report back.
So arriving wet and bedraggled, I picked up three large Special K, took to the till and she said £2, there's something wrong here. She rang a bell for the supervisor, she in turn fetched the store manager. I told them that on the official Tesco website they are on offer from midnight. They knew nothing about it. Phonecalls were made then instructions were issued to remove all Special K products from the shelves. PHEW !.
I was told I could have my three boxes as a goodwill gesture as they were under no obligation to sell them at that price. She said Tesco had made a huge error.
So, it seems to me that if it hadn't been for an alert lady on the till, they would still be available.
I suppose it could have been anyone, but it had to be me.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Thanks for this
Just bought a few. It works fine in Ingleby Barwick. Yummy chocolate and strawberry
Goal: Win a car (or cash to buy one
)! -- Haha goal from when I was a student. Never actually won this but got a good job instead.
What I achieved:
Car paid in full straightaway.
Two properties fully paid. Wohhoooo!0 -

I think I have sussed out how to do this if you buy 3 of the same type it will only charge you £2 but if you mix the products it wont work my own personal experience0
