Still fresh items. repriced but still shows original price at checkout/my bill. 2.Offers not registering on my bill, but original prices do. 3. Ambiguous layout of items in store. causing confusion on its price. Staff trying to defend the mistakes Morrisons have made. Then admitting the mistake. And others. http://frugalways.co.uk/index.php/supermarkets/why-fight-supermarkets#c2449 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 12:45:58 +0000 bernice rhodes [Visitor] c2323@http://frugalways.co.uk/ nice to shop at asda good vaule http://frugalways.co.uk/index.php/supermarkets/asda-price-check-offer-what-are-they-up-to#c2323 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 20:25:06 +0000 valueformoney [Member] c1257@http://frugalways.co.uk/ Sadly they are not the only major supermarket doing this Abi, it seems to be the latest thing with them. http://frugalways.co.uk/index.php/supermarkets/tesco-increase-the-sale-price-of-lurpak#c1257 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 18:51:16 +0000 Abi [Visitor] c1256@http://frugalways.co.uk/ Tesco increased the price of a DVD they had on sale for £10 this weekend to £13 on the Monday so they could include it in a 2 for £20 offer, disgraceful attempt to con people in the run up to Christmas! http://frugalways.co.uk/index.php/supermarkets/tesco-increase-the-sale-price-of-lurpak#c1256 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 09:48:09 +0000 valueformoney [Member] c921@http://frugalways.co.uk/ Interesting Allan, I've noticed the same "smart price" roll back on asda's lard, base price increased then offered as a sale price. Trading standards will only act on large volumes of complaints on the same issue, they say they this isn't the case, but in my experience, it is the case. Thanks for the feedback http://frugalways.co.uk/index.php/supermarkets/asda-misleading-price-on-roll-back-offer-hiding-price-increase#c921 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 13:09:17 +0000 Allan West [Visitor] c920@http://frugalways.co.uk/ As a former police officer I still have communications with Trading Standards in areas and keep myself aware of certain laws. ASDA is indeed in gross breach of Trading Standards, items seen in local Llandudno store include their individual Smart Price Raspberry Swiss roll (100grams) being sold regularly for 25pence each. On 22nd August 2012 the price showed RRP increase to 30pence. Now on 1st September they are again showing the price as 25pence with display sign that this is a "Roll Back". As they did not comply with statutory 28 days period of new price they are committing a criminal offence, not justifiable by stores alleging "a few days" or "prices are downloaded from national level". This store has also been advertising as a "Roll Back" packets of Smart Price custard powder for at least five months. By law this is NOT a Roll Back, but because of length of time has become th established price. Whether any joy will come from local Conwy Trading Standards officers is a guessing game, as my experience is that some areas of T.S. do their job, others don't, which gives rise to suspicions they may have an unhealthy arrangement (whether financial or in kind is unknown) with these major stores or are indeed frightened to speak to them. http://frugalways.co.uk/index.php/supermarkets/asda-misleading-price-on-roll-back-offer-hiding-price-increase#c920
