    Of course you can, a price of an item is an offer to treat you accept the offer if you wish. Technically you cold haggle with a tesco employee with the cost of your shop...

    Dau enaid ond un taith.

    Make a beeline for the manager to handle your sale.
    Let us know how you get on.

    Before going there check online what the cheapest price from other retailers would be. That's the price you want Currys to beat.


    Secondly, beware of the quoted price being bumped up with add on insurance/warranties and delivery charges.

    Petty given this is months old but the priced item on the shelf is an invitation to treat, you make the offer and the shop/seller chooses to accept the offer if they wish.
    Bought, not Brought
