Reduced items, yet charged full price

Charged full price for special offers

Special offers and bargains?

Was it worth going all the way back to point out the mistakes? Probably not really, so they've got away with it again. Next time, I'll just buy the usual stuff and steer clear of the offers.



We've all done it... scouted round the supermarket for bargains, special offers, reduced stickers in order to save a bit of money. When you arrive home you realise that you have actually been charged the normal price.

08-1-2010 Ah moite I like 2 for 1 deals in Supermarket I buy plenty of them then sell at ridiculously inflated prices in my Corner Shop.Mr Ragtop Singh
07-1-2010 Fuddy duddy, when you are given your next till receipt, and it says at the bottom of the receipt "multibuy discounts, today you have saved £4-62, £1-96 or £6-30" using your reckoning, I suggest that you give this saving in cash to the till operator. That way you will h...moreGainsborough lad.
07-1-2010 If everyone was like some of these penny-pinching maniacs there would be civil war over who should get what and looting. This is what created the class divide. It is a good job that some of us aren't as greedy so we soften the impact these have on society.Fuddy Duddy
06-1-2010 MikeP nothing in this account yet, but you never know your luck in a raffle.Gainsborough lad.
06-1-2010 Not very smart to publish your bank details on the internet. A certain Mr. Clarkson did so and ended up with problems as a result of it - and he didn't bank at Lloyds TSB in Derby.MikeP

If something was normally £500 and on sale for £400 in a peaceful easy-come, easy-go sa...moreFrench Connection
30-12-2009 Stand up for your rights - phone the shop or even better their head office, tell them what happened. Tell them you won't be shopping there again and you want a full refund sent in the post to you. If they argue with you (doubtful they will) then say you'll report them to trading standards...moreMe
19-12-2009 I agree with Gainsborough Lad. It's great to find a bargain. I do it all the time. I'm not obsessed - I've got a busy job, pay loads of tax and need to save a bit here and there. GL - good luck to you!fedupinwales
16-12-2009 Warfig kenton, & Talgam, I have a wife and three children to feed, I am not obsessed, if you re-read my first post, I basicly stated that instead of the supermarkets taking advantage of me all the time, when I can, I take advantage of them, and make sure the kids don't go hungry, When yo...moreGainsborough lad.
16-12-2009 Cornyle If I had the choice of the time it takes for me to save a few fivers or the few fivers I would rather have the time as long as I was not being ripped off. Not being ripped off is important but paying a fair price is more acceptable to me than going over the top wasting time and effort...moreTalgam
