Sainsburys PAID ME £2.01 to take Michael Jackson CD away !!

I`m not kidding !!

I mentioned in an earlier post about Sainsburys selling off DvDs, cds etc. well, just been raiding my local sainsburys (Glos) and picked up a bundle, took them to customer services and asked them to do price checks for me.

She scanned them all, Coldplay Live 2003 DVD £3.99 (very exciting), Kids ELC CD 68p (more excited) and then Michael jacksons Numbers ones CD .... FREEEEE??? Eh?? I said. She said that the till was reducing it twice as it was in a promotion.

So stuck it in the trolley and did my shopping then went through the tills and noticed some deductions coming off it, kept stume, until after and then looked at my reciept which read.......

Michael jackson Number ones £7.99

Deduction - £4.00
Deduction - £6.00

So they took more money off than they should have, and it came off the rest of my shopping !!!!!!!

So very pleased with my new CD and £2.01 off my shopping !!

Had to post this, as I thought the irony was quite comical in hignsight of his latest going ons !!

So get to your local sainsburys !!

    You should have asked for the same amount that dodgy jury got!

    was in sports soccer the day after the verdict was announced and they were playing his greatest hits. i was like, do you think they've been waiting ages to play this lol

    anyway good bargains. we only have one sainsbury's near us and it's really small so only get bargains now and then.

    Michael Jackson was found not guilty on all charges.

    I am not a supporter of his.

    If you wish to make comments suggesting he is guilty, make them away from this site as doing so is libellous.
