Tesco's most pathetic reduction

lipidicman

I saw a sign in Tesco last night that had me in stitches

Carlsberg Was £10, now £9.98, save 2p :j


I am not kidding. It's the first time I have wished I had a camera phone. I would have posted it here, and sent it to Jonathon Maitland (Tonight show). Elsewhere they had signs saying 'special promotion' for the same deal.

Has anyone seen a more pathetic reduction?

Some mugs in Safeway were 99p, now 98p!

Ah, but that is 1p/99p = 0.01 = ~1% reduction

Mine was 2p/1000p = 0.002 = 0.2% reduction

they could have put 'SAVE 0.2%'!

I saw the Carlsberg offer and just stood there and looked bemused at it for a while. Thought I'd forgotten how to read!

prob. cos its cheaper then rivals at 9.99

thats all
and a bulk buy means a small increase in savings lol

Think how much it costs to print up all the reduced signs and stickers.....no wonder we are running out of rainforest. What a waste!

My other half likes Miller beer so I was pleased when I saw that on promotion in Tesco. When I read the small print, you saved 6p by buying 2 x 4 packs of cans.

They also have a long term price offer of £2 for 3 x 1L cartons of fruit juice from the chiller. That also saves around 6p, but I still buy them as we get through gallons of juice!

No advances on 0.2% though, anyone?

My mother-in-law inadvertantly priced some of our plants at £1.50 each and 3 for £5.00, surprisingly some people still bought the 3's.(I did correct it later though)
