Tesco Arithmetic, now and then

polymaff

Looks like TESCO are clean out of arithmetic.

In 2022:

In 2025:

So I'll be charged: a) £91.50,  b) £93.50,  c) £95.50, or d) have a guess.

N.B. all items fixed price, so ignore "estimated".

N.B.B. **Your total may differ due to missed promotions, products sold by weight and substituted items.  None of which applies/d at the time of placing the 2025 order this afternoon.

£93.50

Delivery saver discount is only applicable if you've paid for delivery,

Neither of these orders were delivered for free.

"Pick, pack, and deliver" shows £2 charge for 2022 bill which was then deducted.

The 2025 shows £0 against "Pick, pack, and deliver".  So the £2 they then suggest is deducted isn't actually deducted.

It looks as though both orders are to be delivered free of additional cost.

But I agree that the maths isn't correct - either it should be £2 charged and £2 deducted or £0 in both places.

Are you sure about that?

Correct, though don't boost it by calling it maths when it is just primary school arithmetic / understanding.

What will I pay (on Monday), though?  a), b), c) or d)?

And... The answer is d)

Note the basket value before offers stays the same - and yet one of the items was in-stock last night, but deleted from the order as not in-stock today.  So shouldn't that figure have dropped by the cost of two packets of Radishes: £1.12?

The offers discount is new - but Tesco knew the delivery date, so why leave it out up to 23:46 last night?

There are two entries of £2.00 now.  That may look correct - but it isn't really as they just take that £2 out of my other pocket - my Delivery Saver balance.

So: £93.26 paid.

Note that if you restore the Radishes the answer, £94.38, is still answer d)

SNAFU !!!
