He charges everyone 29p extra so he can buy a mansion at the end of the year.

Why should you use your debit card if you have the amount the item costs in cash but they're over charging you? You get charged everytime you use the debit card as well (well you do here anyhow)

If you're going shopping you don't know how much you're going to spend, so how do you know you have the correct amount of money?

I think here if it's under £5 then you get charged, I've never used my card to pay for anything in a supermarket, I always take the money

Consumer rights indicate if something is more expensive than advertised on the shelves then you should've been served the correct amount that was at the shelf
Woo!

You should have a budget, if you don't this is how people overspend

But Gusto was only buying the garlic bread because he said he had his £2 ready, this is what I was talking about, not a full weeks shop or whatever

Do we have to sell products for the price shown if we have made a mistake?
Normally, no. When, for example, a shop displays products and their prices, the shop is not directly offering them for sale but issuing an 'invitation to treat': when the customer offers to buy the product, the shop can decide whether to accept or reject the customer's offer.

You would, of course, need to correct the price once your error had been pointed out. Otherwise you could be accused of displaying a deliberately misleading price and could face legal action.

Yes but that's because he thought all he was spending was £2, if you leave to go to the shop, unless you know for certain what you're buying you'll take more then £2, you can still set a budget and not exceed it

Yep 1.75% of the transaction with a maximum charge of €11 at my bank anyway

Citizens advice is different to what I looked up, which was a UK businesses law website

Consumer rights =/= the law

And I looked at a consumer rights website...

I can't believe anyone would suggest we should just accept being overcharged however much it is - that would give the dishonest licence to get away with it. It's the principle, not the amount. 29p here and 29p there soon mounts up.

If it's marked up at a certain price that is what they have to charge you. My local co-op's computers never seem to be able to keep up with their 'offers' and regularly advertising one amount and charging another higher amount at the till. I always question it.

come back to me when you have never left the house and realised you needed a pint of milk or something small and left your wallet at home and if you haven't then you really aren't doing the household shop very regularly

I take my wallet with me even if I don't intend on shopping. Quite silly leaving at home where it can be stolen whilst you're out

[Cherie]

I also leave my house without my phone sometimes, Im not a slave to tech
