Got a Lynx travel set in Leather type bag with 2 shower gels and a Lynx spray for 3.50 euro and another set in box with spray and shower gel 1.75 also impulse set with spray and shower gel 1.75..:)

thund3rbird_

this is selling for 7.99 but it's the v195b version as opposed to the 135 which was on sale previously.
the tag on the shelf showed as the 135 version.
(8GB version was selling for 14.99 btw)

wouldnt scan at the self scan checkout so the barcode was entered manually & till showed as 7.99.
possibly has the wrong barcode?

got it in Tesco Poleberry Waterford, still a few left.
only bought one as I didn't want to be greedy .
not sure if any available in other tescos.

Ooops, knickers Monica. I tried them before for ink for the sister's printer and they weren't competitive. 16 yo-yos is a fair saving. Well done, thanks.

Good deal.

They have a deal going since before Christmas that matches this though.
Normally a box of 20 300ml bottles is €20. They have a deal on since a few weeks before Christmas where they are selling 2 boxs for €30. 40 300ml bottles = 12,000ml.
If you spend €30 on cans in this offer, you can pick up 24 cans. 24 500ml cans - 12,000ml!

And yes, I was bored earlier

Didnt Tesco used to have a policy if they charged too much you got the item for free ? Is this finished because they overcharged me the other day and only gave me back what I was overcharged.

Thought they were supposed to give you back double what you were overcharged.

Karen23

I knew they had some kind of policy but I looked at the signs behind customer services and didn't see anything so I had nothing to prove an argument.

They had childrens books reduced from €5 to €1 , I bought two in Clearwater. They scanned at €5 , when I went to customer services the girl asked me to show her the sign which I did and she gave me back €8.

Yes Basq is correct - their Double the Difference policy was introduced last May. You should have been given €16.

Karen23

Ah crap , but would I have had the right to argue if there was no sign stating the double the difference policy ?

No not really. Individual staff members might still be unaware of it but the manager would certainly be aware of it.
It is Tescos official policy.


EDIT : Sorry I read your post as "would I have had to argue"

Yes you would have had the right to argue it.

as far as i know - this policy doesn't apply to 'reduced' items in their ''clearance'' sections, just to regular stuff on the shelves

A reduced round steak had its old pricing sticker read at the till by mistake hence I had been given the wrong (earlier) discount. After walking away and realizing the mistake, I queried the receipt, got my money back (about 3 euro) plus got to keep the steak for free. So some form of compensation seems to apply also to clearance or bargain corner products.

I think you were lucky. I find that if there is a problem with a reduced price label they just refund you the overcharge.

I also find that some reduced price labels don't scan properly and have to be imputed manually. (If one of the numbers has a side missing then it affects the bar-code reading too)

You need to very carefully examine any meat in their reduced price shelves. They often have items that are definitely not fit for human consumption.

With this deal you only have to spend a fiver. It's not bad getting 4 cans for a fiver.

P.S There was thread about the Bulmers bottle deal before christmas started by guess who?;)

didn't know about that at all but in tesco oranmore i bought
three large mint crisps and the label said 39c but it scanned
at 1.57
i was given over 7 euro back for their mistake
i was quite pleased with myself expecting half that amount

mailburner

must add also that when i was in tesco galway yester that the label
said 39c for tiffins and mint crisps
I didn't do the dog on it despite being refunded in oranmore
somebody might avail of these great offers
won't happen in oranmore as they removed the label when they refunded me

The label is usually brought to the Customers Services Desk to confirm the overcharge.
So theoretically the Double the Difference refund will only happen once for that item in that shop.

I remember a few times they brought me to the shelf, I showed them the label and they never removed it. This was a few years ago with the full refund policy. Other times they did remove it -which left me wondering what happens with customers who were still shopping when I got the refund.

i.e. they might have gone back and claimed they were overcharged, I wondered if the customer service people would honour it, or make them go to the aisle and make out like there was no price up.

Lilt 2L is €1.50, not great but few other soft drinks are on offer right now.

.

It is illegal not to display the correct price on the shelf and they can and sometimes are prosecuted for this,. a fact that they may feign ignorance of.
Have had same experiece.

Agreed 1.50 Lilt etc is hardly a bargain when its just a price you'd get from shopping around. Same for near sell-by produce. It's only going to be store specific, usually only on a specific day and a bit of a dice with ecoli.
More real BAs pls:)

Yeah for sure theres a lot of dodgy looking meat there and you have to be careful. I avoid the ones that look brown to dark brown and go for the steaks which still look red or pink.
