Tesco misprices thread - please only post misprices here

  • not sure if this will work as Blackpool Tesco only had 2 copies, but The Day After Tomorrow DVD is £5.86 at the moment and is also in the 3 for £19 "offer"

    As 3 of them should only cost £17.58 then you would be overcharged, whether or not they could get out of it by virtue of the other offer I'm not sure...
  • Been back and forth a few times over last couple of days to a few different Tesco's and found a LOT of mis-prices on CD's and DVD's
    Plenty of Christmas Presi's to be had :-)

    I did go back a few pages of this thread and didn't see any of these, but apologies in advance if this is a duplicate list...

    George Michael - Listen Without Prejudice CD - STICKERED at 4.97 / Charged 7.97
    Alicia Keys - The Diary of... - STICKERED at 5.97 / Charged 9.77 (!)


    Thin Lizzy - Greatest Hits DVD - Shelf = 8.95 (ish) / Charged = 9.96
    Princess Diaries 2 DVD - STICKERED at 7.97 / Charged 8.97
    Ella Enchanted DVD - STICKERED at 8.46 / Charged 8.97

    WARNING!! - DO NOT BUY 3 of the 8.97 DVD's or they will be reduced in a "3 for £19" offer
    This will mess up your refund "mission" - trust me - happened to me! :-(
    Always after a bargain... :-)

  • Can't believe it. I've just got myself a free PC!

    It's the Phillips Iqon celeron. Priced on shelf as £448, the box says £349.93,
    so I took one to a scanner and it scanned at the higher price!

    Had to argue a bit with the manager, but eventually he relented and gave me a full refund!

    The is in the Tesco express, Longton, Stoke on Trent.

    They took them all straight off the shelves though.
    Thats my Xmas sorted!! :D

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I only went in for a few bits. £10 spend. Got an R +R without trying again.

    Skinless and boneless salmon fillets off the fish counter. Sign saying 2 for £3.

    She charged me £3.18.

    And Finest Emmental still overpriced, but my staff member chaperone was picking up every item I put down on the cheese shelf, so I put down the emmental with a big full on smile at her. I wanted cheddar, but still like to look!

    Not quite a free PC though...! Well done sparkerzzzz!!!!!! :beer: And well done Tesco for honouring the promise on such a costly item.

    I think you've now overtaken my 1st ranking on the most expensively priced item obtained under R + R:rotfl:

    Got this cd about 1/2 hour ago from Tesco, Riverside, Dundee - priced as above and scanned at the more expensive price - woops seemed not to be paying attention as it scanned at the higher price! A wee trip to customer service after payment was made, and a refund was made and a free cd.

    Thanks Tesco, first time i have done this and it makes up for the foostie strawberrries i got the other day that got chucked out - note i paid full price for them!

    :T :beer: :T

    Just bagged one :j (will get the refund tomorrow or after)

    sparkerzzzz - what can I say......... THANKS!!! :beer:

    Word of warning for the Coventry Ricoh Arena Tesco (has plenty of stock).......... my brother had one at the till but some thoughtful person behind him made him & the checkout op aware of the misprice.

    ps - IIRC Mine was form a shelf with a SEL of £397. Hope everyone who wants one has had a chance to get one.....as per suggestions I have not yet had my refund to give others a fair crack.
