Asda in store. British strawberries 454g for £1 ! ! ! !


£1.00

499°

FOUND BY: MightyHumungus 1 year, 4 months ago

STARTS: 09/07/2008   

Do you like strawberries?
Do you like a hot deal?
If you can answer yes to both these questions then read on....

I was in Asda earlier today checking out the strawberries and alongside the usual British strawberries at the usual high price of £1.68 for 300grams were another batch of British strawberries priced at £1.00 for 454grams. As I picked a punnet up a couple of Asda employees came along and I heard one employee say to the other "There they are, that can't be right can it?" The other (more managerial employee) replied "No, that's definately wrong they shouldn't be that price. It'll be corrected in the morning".

They're British.
They're delicious.
They're an absolute bargain!
Does it get any better!

Edited because I'm told they're not actually a mis-price - just a HOT DEAL!

Not a misprice to be honest.

Strawberrys do not have much of a storage life, and this is the picking time.

They always go to about this price for the next few weeks, normally go to a bogof, or half price.

Selling at £1 a punnet is a good deal, hot even. I love strawberrys, nice healthy fruit.. Now pass the double cream.

The two Asda employees seemed to think it was a mis-price. I've not seen them this cheap in Asda before. Also, right alongside the mis-priced strawberries were a batch of strawberries picked in Staffordshire that were £1.68 for 300grams.

...so you asked the asda staff if the price was right and the reply was 'it must be a mis-price', just goes to show the staff at asda have their finger on the pulse of retail marketing.....
