Just got back from Tesco, Great Yarmouth, after having one of my better shopping trips!!
I just bought a Pure Contour 200i Air Ipod Dock, which was in the clearance section without a price. I scanned it with the hand scanner & it came up 1p!!
There was only 1 in Great Yarmouth, but may be worth checking, if they are in stores near you!!!
I also got a Belkin Play N450 DB router/modem for 1p!!
And to top it all off, I found Family Guy The Best Of (DVD) marked up at £5, but scanned at £12.
So £14 back thanks to Tesco's Double the difference policy!
So for the 3 items purchased, Tesco paid me £1.98 to take them away!!!

You have had a good shopping trip!
Marked at £5 ....scanned at £12.....You usually pay the scanned price.....
You should've stood your ground!!
I was in a heated discussion with the manageress for about 20mins, at the end of the day, if they are on the shop floor, they are for sale!!
It's somthing that doesn't happen everyday and you will get some looks coz people want to know what the bargains are :-)
Ok folks, its a braun 380-4 shaver. I have one its not faulty. Its discontinued.
How come on their facebook page they say, they normally sell these items as they are to clear.
"There are rare occasions when discontinued products go beyond the "reduced to clear" period, and the value will be reduced to a penny on our tills. We look to remove these items from sale although if you find yourself at the checkout with one of these products we’d allow the sale to take place, our view is it is better these items are sold."

Heres what the chap from Tesco said, if you cant be bothered to click the link!
'We take great care to ensure our prices are accurately labelled, the shelf edge label will show the price that you should pay for a product. This will be the price you pay at the checkout, the price labelled should not affect the accuracy of the labelling.
There are some occasions when discontinued products go beyond the "reduced to clear" period and we feel that is is best we sell these items at very low prices, rather than throwing them away, which is why some items will be charged at a penny.
If it comes through the till at that price, we will sell it at that price.'
Hope this helps,

Funny that...
yes, absolutely hilarious!
we can't help it if we have great staff at our local that do big reductions !!!
I had actaully gone into buy one of these because they were in the sale and then this happens....
Yeah, still get DTD if using the hand scanners!
You found this in tesco in risca? Are you sure, as was just in there and didn't see any...can you confirm if it was from this store, where you found them in store and if any were left? Thanks
I doubt the local store staff do any of these reductions, they'd be done at head office centrally.
We have 2 Tesco Extras here and they don't sell most of these supposed offers.
I find it hard to believe that stores in areas that are widely known as economically deprived like Great Yarmouth ever stocked this sort of stuff in the first place.
i am probably being vey stupid here,but was does DTD mean
thanks!!!
Double the difference. If Tesco overcharge you, you get twice the amount back!!
