So Called Special Offers

[MantaRay]

Anybody else getting a little fed up with supermarkets marking up their shelving with special offer deals...only to find that you've been charged normal price at the check out? Do you find any particular supermarket worse than others...or is it something that they are all equally guilty of?

I can never be bothered to check. Probably get robbed blind.

No, I can't say I've noticed that.

I always check my till receipts and query it if an offer hasn't been charged correctly. It's not as if it takes long.

A branch of the co-op near my work have a habit of advertising a product as being on offer as say 500ml of Heinz Ketchup but the product underneath the sign will only contain 300ml so when it is put through the till the normal price is charged. This particular Co-op is also a lot more expensive than the one near my home(ie Lemon squash £1.36 near home £1)

Tesco near me do it all the time. I used to moan at my wife for insisting on checking the receipt before she left the till but since having to do the shopping on my own I realise she was absolutely right to do it.
