Im not sure how you lot find these misprices. Me and my girlfriend had 20 mins to kill so we popped into Teso Extra. While she was looking around at various things I started to scan a few DVD's, the laptops etc but felt like I was taking the !!!!!! after going backwards 2 or 3 times. Anymore and I think they would have cottoned on to what I was upto.

Is it me, or is the webmaster too busy saving money to notice the clocks went back last week. I posted this at 21:19

Err, change it yourself in your the options tab of your control panel. Nothing at all to do with the webmaster.

IME best thing to do is look for DVD's with stickers on (they soon stand out) then check that they correspond correctly with the shelf edge Labels. If they differ i.e the sticker is lower than the SEL pop it in your trolly. If you find more than 1, check them all in one go at the scanner as it may attract attention if you KEEP going back and forth. :beer:

I dont think Tesco's have cracked onto anything myself. They probably think it would cost them more to circulate an email with our findings, have staff check it and pass the info onto other staff, change the SEL's and stickers etc than it would to give out a few r&r's to the likes of us.

you'd be surprised..do you think their communication processes are primitive - when products are withdrawn from sale it takes moments, do you not think they use the same system for other types of alerts...

Ahh I see, only time I go to Tesco is for a specific offer/bargain or if I have to park in the Tesco car park for uni then im entitled to a discount if I get some shopping

Yes... its controlled by the time zone that you have specified in the options within the control panel. i.e. if you select a time zone 10 hours behind GMT all posts will be 10 hours behind.

I dont think that a few people 'taking advantage' of r&r on a regular basis is enough of a priority for them to waste time on to be honest.
They certainly dont seem to use any sophisticated communications procedures to correct the dozens of mispriced products that are brought to their attention week after week after week do they?

Edited : penny has dropped!


fwiw I finally finally finally decided to pop to tesco today and check out these damn blasted pc's/ The Centri...err the £350ish one with a CRT monitor scanned at the sticker price and SEL price. I thought it was only that one? Are there others mispriced? Got to admit I felt well odd hauling a big box like that to the scanner. And 'cos its my no1 shopping store I don't want to get banned. No way!

I think I need to change my name on here! Just in case!
