    Got 4 for £3 this morning at 9am in Swansea Marina store but there are no signs displaying the offer, they are just priced at £1.50 each. I got cust service to check it, they were not aware of the offer.


    Hi, I was in there about the same time as you. They have stacks at the end of the biscuit aisle and some of the other aisles and it says buy two get two free there. They do seem smaller this year but thanks anyway OP.
  • Hi, just been to Tesco with my friend and she bought 16 eggs and some strawberries.The girl at the checkout got confused and cancelled some of the eggs and started again, just checked receipt when we got home and she have been overcharged by £1 50. Total shopping was £15 50. Just wanted to know if she is entitled to double the difference how much it would be and does she need to take the eggs back. She doesn't want to walk all the way back for £1 50. Thanks in advance.

    According to this article Double the Difference stopped 3 years ago? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1381641/Tesco-axes-Double-Difference-refunds-hijacked-savvy-shoppers.html

    Dont quote me on it though, just googled it and found the article.

    My husband has just come back from Tesco. He bought 4 eggs for £3 which was good. Trouble is, I had already decided not to buy the grandchildren eggs and have bought them gifts instead as they get too many eggs as it is. Lucky children. When I was little, if I got one egg, I was doing well.

    Yum Yum - but I'm sure these get smaller every year?!

    Not really a bad thing though.

    The article you quoted is something completely different from being overcharged in Tesco, the OP is indeed entitled to double the difference.

    Thanks, I just asked my local Tesco and they said definitely no double the difference but they would give a £1.50 overcharge refund.

    Thanks though, If I ever shop instore and I get overcharged I will certainly make sure I ask for Double the Difference.

    It is definitely DTD, if any Tesco says no then you call their customer care and they'll give your Tesco a wrap on the knuckles and you'll get your DTD.

    OP, you don't need to lug back your eggs to the shop, just take your receipt before the offer ends.
