Asda Pineapple Chunks.

Looks like my Asda wont be doing a refund as I use the same Asda as Sarah!!
:mad:

Wonderful stuff, Ben! I just have a vision of shoeless urchins trailing through the checkouts carrying tins of pineapple chunks to ward off scurvy, then clamouring for their gift cards.

Just to dispel this image I may have gained of a pineapple monster, I would point out that I am a regular Asda shopper and always have my gift card handy. I get the £2 and the refund credited on the same card each time I am overcharged, and usually have about £50 to spend on wine at Christmas. Asda have improved their pricing of late. The irony is that I am at least partly responsible for this!

As for Tesco, I can't stand the place really. I just go there to take advantage of their policies. I would never do my main shopping there.

Had some meat from Asda before that was off when opened, Still indate by a good couple of days.
Took it back and was given a refund for the £7 and told to get some more meet for the £7 for free.

Well worth taking back.

Wow!! I never knew about this policy about giving £2 refund on savings card for over charging but as Im on my way to filling my third card guess who is going to be scrutinising their receipts in future!!

Blimey if my nan was still alive she would have bought trolley's of pineapple chunks - she was addicted to them. She'd go through one large tin every single day..... :eek:

I personally steer well clear of Asda meat as I have found it to be very dodgy if not eaten the same day and definately would not purchase reduced meat from Asda.

MrSmartprice

You may be right, Ben. But at present I seem to be getting all my meat for free at Tesco!!

A couple of weeks ago, the checkout operator weighed some apples that I had selected, and had trouble with the scales. Then he thought he'd get clever and type in a code (how that equates to the actual weight I don't know). Anyway, he tapped away and chose the most suitable code, I noticed that the price came up as 6 X £1.28 or something similar, he looked at the price, shrugged his shoulders and continued.

Off to CS and await my refund and £2 on a loyalty Card - can't believe he let it go without asking a superviser, although I'm glad he did.

In the past I used to point out any mistakes to the checkout staff, but now I just smile and look at the queue at CS.

I buy my meat from the award winning local butcher, not from supermarket. Maybe a tad more expensive but better quality, tastes better, doesn't go off within a day unlike some supermarkets.
