OMG OMG OMG!!!
I have been hooked on this thread for a long time and finally plucked up the courage to try at my local Tesco. I searched on the meat aisle but none of the beef, pork was mispriced. They all had yellow stickers with the correct price. Bum I thought! However I found the chicken breasts and after checking a million times, yes they were overpriced by about 30 odd pence. Put 2 in the trolley.
I looked at the cheese and the mild cheddar was overpriced by 1p. Put 2 in the trolley. Used £10 worth of vouchers and headed over to CS. Boy was I pooping myself!!! The cs woman went off to have a look at the shelf and was gone aaaaaaages. She said the old label had been put there so refunded me for chicken and cheese - £15.96 Wayhaay!
She was ok about it but I did have to write my name and postcode down. She took the barcodes of all 4 items so wonder if they will now correct the mistake?
What an adrenaline rush, I wanted to go round the corner and Whoop!!!
My heart was going and I shook, stupid hey?! But sure going to do it again.
Oh and the packs of smoked bacon - 250g were wrong plus the smoked bacon joints, but didnt want to go too far my first time.
Mmmmm just consumed a doorstep wedge of cheese on fresh bread!!!!!0 -

Yipee I also plucked up the courage today to search for wrongly priced items. I found the 2kg Smoked /unsmoked Gammon £8.49 on pkt, £7.98 on shelf, Tesco smoked bacon 500g (16 slices) £2.89pkt, £2.49 shelf and Organic Wensleydale £2.32pkt, £2.17 shelf. Picked up two of each, felt like a criminal at CS, my heart was going ten to the dozen. I thought I was going to have to fight my corner since the woman looked like an old dragon but no problem, in fact she was very polite !
But! the shelf prices were brought back to the desk and put in a cupboard behind the desk so everyone after me wouldn't have been able to compare the prices - can they do that?
The cashier wouldn't take any of my coupons unless I'd bought the item and when I queried this at CS (she was being nice after all) she said they would only accept 1 coupon in total if I hadn't bought the item.Look after the pennies and the £££s will look after themselves0 -
Well done Joto isn't it a nice feeling when you bite back!Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.Together we can make a difference.0

Went to get some camera films tonight with my sister as I had seen the other day that you could get a 5 pack of tesco's 24 exposure 400 speed (I think!) for £2.50 on offer, they went through the till at normal price of £5 so I paid then went 'oh I don't think it's right' a supervisor was called who agreed it was wrong and said it was an out of date ticket, she said I could take another pack if I wanted too but I asked if I could have the refund and she was ever so pleasant and just said of course, no trouble at all, even though it was a genuine refund request I still felt I was doing something wrong, but my sister was made up!!!0

OK. Late session tonight at Tesco..........real purchasing intended and a "casual" perusal of the aisles for Freeviews, Tommee Tippees etc.
No luck on the big items but I put 2 Ribs of beef (bone-in) worth about a tenner each into my trolley (1p/kg overpriced £5.67 vs £5.68) and 3 organic double gloucester's (1p/kg overpriced)...........
But...............I bottled out when I saw the same cs as my last visit behind the counter (£9 worth of free lamb that time).
....oh for a bit of courage.
did manage to offload £5 worth of vouchers though.Initial Mortgage February 2005 - £275,010.00 :eek:Current Mortgage November 2011 - £228,3132011 £25,410 OP target - £6,359.00 to go..Regular Savings Account (8% APR) - [STRIKE]£2400[/STRIKE] £27000 -
that's the problem I have - whenever I go into my tesco the same cs lady is always there - i've only been there once but she made a little fuss about it and tried to refund the difference.
I haven't been able to find anything recently so I'm guessing they're starting to replace shelf labels efficiently or other customers are getting there before meah well, as long as we're screwing tesco I'm happy :T
