Tesco, every little bit helps our profits!

Went to my local Tesco superstore this morning to buy some Otex Ear Drops. I couldn't see them on the shelf so I walked across to the instore  pharmacy to ask. They had the drops on the shelf so I bought it from them, price £4.70. Walking out of the store I then found the same drops on the shelf. Guess what, £6.00!!

    Did you cross check other items to ensure the trend was the same for all products?

    There are different types of Otex, some treat tired or itchy eyes whilst some have something added to treat infections. I recently bought some at Boots, one type were £4.40, the others £6.50.
