Can't find other discussion Tesco rip off

Checked receipt, don't do it often.

Listerine £6 for 500ml.

More expensive than my wine per ml

Don't use it myself. Clubcard Website clearly shows £3.

Oh for the days of double the discrepancy back

    hi not Tesco - but similar thing with Lidl, had a 10% off coupon for an item that was £6.85 and they reduced it by 22p!!! I’m no mathematician but I know my percentages!!

    I’ve done a contact form with a receipt copy and it’s happened before and they usually give a new discount coupon off for a £ or 2 - maybe you can do the same with Tesco?


    Seems quite petty but it irritates me when you get home and then find out it’s incorrect- maybe it’s the only way they can learn? Also this is MSE after all ! A £ is a £!

    Shops make mistakes all the time, you can't expect perfection. Provided they compensate for the error that's the best you can expect.

    Depends which version of Listerine.

    Listerine Total Care Intense Taste Classic Mouthwash 500ml is £6:00 for 500ml.

    There are at least two other versions at that price.

    Things that are different: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    Its not the value of the discount that is at stake here, its the sense of being shortchanged that provokes ire amongst customers.

    I should know, I feel the same about Boots Advantage Card. Or perhaps I just shouldn't feel quite so pleased with my code-stacking skills? But it is that the is the deciding factor for many of my purchases, which are usually luxiry items rather than essentials.

    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.

    Where was it bought ? The prices shown on line apply to on line orders only and not in store or especially not Metro stores although the same prices may apply.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
