Bargain Suitcases at Tesco (merged threads)

Hello all
I have just come back from tescos where I got a 3 peice suitcase set it was priced at £17.98 however went through the till at £12.97 when I got home and opened it the 2 other cases inside where individually priced and I should have paid about £50 for the whole set?
I dont know if this was a random error by the staff in the shop or if this is and actual offer but thought i would mention it

    I work in somerfield. When we sell suitcases they come with the smaller ones inside. On the side of the box it says huge text something like "This contains 3 suitcases, Please seperate" I guess some staff just put them out not looking.

    Lucky you though :)

    sounds like a very good offer to me,
    can you just tell me what colour they are.
    It seems everybody have a black or navy blue suitcase at the moment.
    Which makes it hard to find your own at the airport

    That is why they suggest when travelling to tie a piece of coloured ribbon around the handle so you can find your own.

    Mind you, my suitcase is an orangey colour so don't think I will be having that problem. And they where a freebie so even better.

    Orange must be the easiest one to spot but I think my fav would be red, like a very strong red.
    Anyone seen anything like it anyehere?

    Well done on getting your bargain suitcase set! Koala sister we bought a set of 3 red suitcases last year from pricedrop.tv for about £40 and they are great. They look really modern and you can see them easily at the airport. I know they still sell them so it might be worth checking that out.

    Thanks Pammyb,

    I'll check them out this weekend as there is an outlet near me.

    Are they big enough for 2 weeks?

    The big suitcase was large enough for myself, my partner and our 2 year old son when we went to the algarve last year and believe me I take loads! ;-)

    I got these last year and they are surprisingly very good .

    I half expected the zips to go etc as they were so cheap, but no they are absolutely fine .Well worth it.

    They have some really bright red ones in Matalan at the moment. All sizes. Sorry, but I never noticed the price.
