Tesco wrong prices thread part 5 - please post your finds here

cpjackso

I've been using this thread for ages and have got loads of stuff - but I've found it quite difficult to keep on the list of items... I've also noticed a few people have had the same problem. Also - one or two items are now priced at the wrong price, but scanning at the lower price.

So - I've put together a web-page where we can keep a track of it.

I've added a few items that I've managed to find - but ironically there are too many for me to add!!!

Anyway - if you want to use it - please do. Any suggestions welcome.

My first trip to Tesco Extra Pengam Green, no San Miguel, no scanners working to check the prices and as freezer is full left ended handed for a change with no refunds. School socks are reduced from £3 to 75p, girls swimsuits £2, power ranger lunchbag £2.48, power range drinking bottles £1.48, school cardis £2.50 each. Did notice they are still selling the razors on offer with £2.00 voucher off, but believe the offer date has expired ?

New one for your list cpjackso.

Tesco travel insurance- all types. (1 or 2 weeks cover, europe, worldwide AND annual)

I was in 2 tesco today that both had incorrect shelf prices. Basically they had a 20% off promo that finished on Tuesday, but no-one has changed the shelf prices to reflect this change at the tills.

Got worldwide annual cover free for our trip to NZ...after buying the holiday on Burgers, Chips and BiG. So Tesco have just saved me another £130 on my holiday costs.

No hassle at all at CS desk...had to wait a little longer than usual whilst the girl talked to her manager, but they honoured the policy without any fuss at all, even though it was over £100 to refund.

God bless them. If I could hug Tesco, I would.

Gave Mr T's a good sound thrashing today. Went out with £155.00, came back with 153.24, a euro lottery ticket, 15p milky bar for the little one, 154 clubcard points, and £156 worth of beer :beer: , steak, cheese, duck :beer: . Where a bit slack on the scanner availability or they would have got more even more of a thrashing (especially on the beer). :beer:

Same culprits as usual, did a couple of stores, one took so long to sort it out that my choc-ices melted, guy came back (meat manager had just left him on his own obviously embarrassed at the lack of controls), by time he got back had the store manager down, what do you want me to do he (the old chap left in the lurch by the meat manager) says (having spent the time labelling the items :mad: ), I want you to give me the items and a full refund, i quote 'look son, when did you last work in Tesco's, we don't give products out and refunds' turning round to the board I started reading out 'If in the unlikely event ........ ' store manager obviously embarrassed by his staffs lack of policy awareness sent him packing, and apologises, gave him some further hassle about it, after he'd given me the refund of course.

CS at one nearly had a heart attack, when the beer (11.98 vs 14.98), duck, steak, cheese, where all wrong, 'its an absolute disgrace ', blah blah I says, gave me the £90 refund no bother. Went round the store with her as she removed the offending labels, to make sure that they didn;t go astray.

Usual salmon misprice in another store, had 2 labels 3.65 and 4.65 (are these guys stupid or what), got 5, said 'i expected to get them for 3.65', gave me refund for the first, 'i got 5' I says. What about I give you a full refund for the first and the difference for the others, ' NO, NEIN, NON, etc' says me pointing to the policy statement , I'll get a manager, who comes and says yes we are obliged to refund the first 6 (sounds like !!!! and bull to me but as I had ONLY 5 no problem).

I love shopping at Tesco's ....... Every Little Helps !!! :rotfl: :j :beer:

NEW FREEZER COMING TOMMORROW !!!!!!! :j :j :j :j :j :j

CPjackso, as much as I like the website, can I ask that people continue to post their finds on here too? I know. I'm lazy!

It's also because your website address will get lost in the ether of this thread, no doubt, and people will not know about your site, but would still like a bargain courtesy of Mr T.

Now that's what I call thinking laterally about price finds ! :money:

How do you go about purchasing such an item, Do you pick up a leaflet or something and pay at the tills for it ?????

I love Mr T's more than a pig and that's saying something ! :money:

Wonder if it covers a trip to TESCO'S CALAIS and if they have the same O/C policy ! :rotfl:

One of my local stores doesn't write 'REFUNDED' on my receipt. Naughty, yes. Illegal? I doubt it.

Don't be so sure. You are dishonestly receiving money by getting a refund on something that you have already been refunded for. Quite possibly you could be accused of fraud or deception, and even if it turns out not to be a crime, Tesco could ban you from their stores.
