Is this legal ? Cunning selling tactics at Tesco.
My mum went to tesco earlier today. She did the shopping and needed some folders for work.
The folders were marked up as 69p each or 2 for £2.50!
Is this allowed? Makes me wonder how many other "special offers" are out there like this.

Lots of this all the time, not just Tesco, the big 3 or 4 are real good at this.
It pays to have your wits about you when comparing/pricing up, i have nearly been caught out before, maybe well have been but not realised...

If you did buy two then keep the receipt and take them back with proof of purchase and im sure they will refund you the difference or refund you fully so you can buy one at a time at 69p

Tea is quite often one of the ones they target. 40 bags at 95p say. 80 bags (single box) at 1.99 ....... that's where the 1960s primary school teaching of timess tables comes in handy! Easy to get caught out but as long as they have the price there there is no excuse!

You took a picture of a sales ticket? You need a hobby!!
Of course it's legal ..... never assume anything ..... look at what you're buying and Dip Yer Bread!

Why would you want a camera on a phone? Never, in the history of me making telephone calls, have I ever stopped and thought, "I wish my phone was a camera as well" That's just mental .... I have cameras which do that kind of thing!?
What will you lot think of next!

We did have one strange complaint not so long ago though. We had a multi-buy on Radox products. Most of the stuff was priced around the £1.30 mark, and the offer was 2 for £1.57. Anyhow, one of the products on this offer was priced at £1.64, but the same offer applied, meaning she would get 2 for less than the price of one. Not a mistake as such, it was just the offer was on all Radox products and one happened to be priced higher than the offer price.
She wanted the product, but argued the toss about the offer being wrong etc. and how it was ridiculous having 2 products being less than buying one. FFS, she was getting 2 for less than she'd pay for one.
Despite trying to explain how the promotion worked she still complained about it for a good ten minutes.

another trick they do is list the 2 for 1 offer on a slightly different product e.g. where i got stung - boisin herbs 2 x 2.50 and above they put boisin herbs and spices, so you buy 2 and end up paying 4 quid or what ever they are
