Tesco Mega Reductions Thread 2

That's strange! I've never seen anything mentioning DTD only on 2 items on that large blue poster.Has anyone else? If their store displays it where do they stand on limiting DTD?

It never ceases to amaze me how devious these store managers are in their excuses for refusing DTD - surely giving someone DTD on 100 wrongly priced items is better for their reputations than being prosecuted for offering goods at one price and charging a higher one!
Maybe Tracyburt should have told CS not to bother with DTD and said that she'd contact trading standards instead - I'm sure the CS people would soon change their minds.

The Lincoln store doesn't display anything about double the difference and theirs is a different big blue poster to the ones I see in other stores. They also have an A4 computer printed notice stating it is their store policy to limit bulk buying to 2 items!!!!!!!!

They did give me a refund on the overcharged amount on the 3rd item but just not double the difference so I don't think there's an issue to contact trading standards about.

Chicken Oxo cubes, boxes of 12 cubes are 39p... 20p cheaper than the boxes of 6. Just a normal SEL, no special offer or clearance/reduction notice.

Last night I picked up 1kg or raisins for 72p, cheaper than 500g (which they didn't seem to have). Twas on a yellow SEL, so presume they are clearing them out. Date was June 09.

An old one re-visited

Cadburys Fudge bar (individual) by the checkout on the end of an aisle SEL 10p scanned 15p.:j
Only a small one but every little helps!

Managed to get the lemon curd too (yummy - thanks OP);)
