No not the TV programme but a blog
about the rather silly pleasure I took from Tesco's 'interesting'
approach to deals on Pampers nappies.
Pampers New Baby Size 3 (What can I
say, Jacob is a growing lad) were on sale in plentiful supply. Packs
of 29 were £4 each, a pack of 50 was £10 and a box of 74 for £12.
I do love getting the boxes because
they last longer and the boxes can be used for storage once empty,
very important when family members keep donating clothes!
But there wasn't any, so worked down to
the pack of 50....until I spotted a flaw in Tesco's pricing....
The packs of 29 were £4 each or two
for £6. Keen mathematicians among you will have already spotted the
bargain. Yes buy two 29 packs and get 58 nappies for £6....eight
more nappies for £4 less.
However, that was not the 'highlight'
of this shopping trip, get two for £6 and buy a third 29 pack and
what do you get?
87 nappies for £10, 37 more nappies
than the 50 pack for the SAME PRICE!
In the modern Twitter parlance this
would be classed as an #epicfail but it was a very welcome 'fail' by
Tesco on this one.
Hopefully they don't notice the flaw
for a while, could do with saving money as apparently it's beginning
to look a lot like Christmas....
I hope it's the same in Tesco stores
near you, if it is then why not stock up!
