Did you actually scan those items?

Its quite likely the wrong price was on the shelf label. Asda are awful at updating the labelling.

I did buy the tomatoes so I know that is cheaper instore I bought them weeks ago too thats when I first noticed, The pears have been £2 online for months so that is unlikely to be the case either. Same applies to the oranges.

It's perfectly legal to charge different prices online and in different branches of the same supermarket. Supermarkets aren't obliged to charge the cheapest price., nor to charge the same price for a product in all stores. They charge what rhe market will bear. Online aside, they have always done that.

It appears that Asda have different prices on some things if they are bought instore. I went in today and noticed several things that \i buy regularly at a lower price.

The 1.2 kilo pears are £2 online £1.60 instore, Oranges £2.40 online £2.20 instore. Tomatoes £0.70 instore £0.75 online. Did notice the tomatoes some weeks ago but thought it was probably a mistake. Did not check any other things only noticed these because I was buying the

I know the fuel costs have risen but we still pay a delivery charge. If they need to put that charge up I would accept it but charging different prices I find sneaky. At least they should tell customers what they are doing.

It’s always been like that, as far as I was aware most of the supermarkets do it, area prices are also in place in a lot of them too. 

This has been discussed a few times on here and people only tend to notice when it’s more expensive online but they don’t think it’s sneaky when it’s an online deal that isn’t available in store though.
