Consumers who spotted that for every milkshake they bought Tesco refunded double the price have milked the offer to bag bargains on other purchases.

The supermarket chain advertised a buy one get one free offer for customers who bought six Frijj milkshakes. But at self service tills at some Tesco Express stores the offer became buy one get two free.


The glitch not only gave customers a free bottle of milkshake but refunded £1.25 from the rest of their shopping bill for every milkshake they bought.
Thrilled consumers swapped news of the offer on the Hot UK Deals and Money Saving Expert forums.

Must have been from a Tesco Express then. Though I didn't use the self service checkout; they were listing it as 3 for the price of 1 on the shelf. Weird.

The article states it apparently affected Tesco Express.... so looks like you got the benefit of their computer glitch..... buy one, get two free - great result for you eh!!

Muppets aren't they!! I love seeing this type of thing, seeing as though all rake in the profits on a massive level.

I got 15 cans for £4.00 (just over 26p per can) the other day - and like you, that's where those who are switched on - make the savings.

Oh, glad you mentioned. Let's see if they reveal all the other scams.

another piece of 'useless info'.... Fairy Liquid bottles have changed sizes: they are now smaller than what they used to be, but price has not come down. Apparently the reason being is that the liquid is slightly more concentrated than it was before: and that is the justification for not bringing the price down..... but they dont' actually tell people it's more concentrated - so they will still use it and replenish it at the same rate.

ie: sort of the opposite of a placebo effect - if people don't know it's concentrated - they won't realise they don't have to use as much every time they wash dishes.

They're more clever than we think. I wouldn't be surprised if they do!
