Supermarkets Mislabelling of Food Prices

I'm convinced my Aldi has computerised price labels. They recently replaced paper ones with things that look like digital clocks. They do have prices on them @wild666. I assume they can be updated from the local office or centrally.🤔

Yes Aldi have started to use digital labels. So the ones in your local store if they look like flat screen digital clocks are the digital labels.

It cuts out the staff having to go and change them.  But I am sure the cries will be but the prices will change before I get to the till I am guessing one file upload over night.

So, this week's update. Popped into Lidl again for £20 worth of groceries. After a month of telling them that the price of their wine gums isn't right, they still hadn't changed the ticket. The cashier, remembering me from the original report, said 'oh is it still wrong'. Previously I'd mentioned it and just left it at that, having received assurances that it would be fixed. But this time I said, well, I want to have it at the ticket price. Sooo the manager was called, the happy faces of the people in the queue (for the single open checkout) all dropped and we spent a couple of minutes holding everything up whilst it was sorted. The cashier did say to the manager to take the ticket off straight away this time, so there is a glimmer of hope going forward. Checking the rest of my receipt in the bagging area I also noticed they'd charged 89p for a bag of 5 bananas, where the display price was 79p, but by this time I'd lost the will to even attempt sorting it out. To be fair I did sympathise with the cashier and said it must be difficult for them to keep up with all the changes.

Anyway happy easter fellow money savers. Hope its a good one.

My opinion 
Your supermarket - your job to have correct prices at all times...simple as that
