Liam its not on the tesco website though is it?

If you're talking about the Halfords email, Halfords have a price matching policy where if it's cheaper within 20 miles they'll price match it. I may buy a few tomorrow from work now...

Yeah I asked my missus about it as she works there and she asked if it was on the website. She didn't seem to think it would be possible if it wasn't.

She's probably wrong though the silly cow. She hasn't tried yet, let us know if you manage.

Why does it have to be on the website?

If the manager of Halfords disputes it he can phone the petrol station for confirmation of price. It's a Halfords policy. Most won't kick up as it's pointless as it will just turn into a complaint. The only thing you have to consider is how to the book he/she will do it. If there is no stock they don't have to price change it as they will say go there and buy no bottles. If there is only two left, he/she may only price change two bottles.

Yeah I didn't see why it had to be on the website either lol. She's been there for 5 years and she didn't even know that! Bloody women eh.

I'll get her on the case I need some more of this.

I think its insane that they charge 9.99 for that tbh!

Wonder how many of their other products are bumped up like that?

All of them? :l

Can I ask how you showed the manager how to do his job?

I didn't show him how to do his job? I put the receipt on here so if anyone gets a dispute, they can show the manager the receipt and they can see its legit and process it the same way.

The way you worded it...

Also if you had put one more bottle on you would of got it for free. Still the managers do generally still have to find out about stock levels. We had a bike last christmas that was in Argos on sale at half price. Loads of people wanted it at their price but because no stock was available within 100 miles of the shop we never price matched it. They don't have to price match it based on a receipt.

Yeah, they only had 4 tho so that's all I could get.
 
Please show us your calculations on that one

Okay :)

Halfords are currently retailing at £9.99, however get them to price match at £1.73.

So you buy 3 and pay £1.73 each = £5.19

Halfords have a 3 for 2 offer on atm, so take off £1.73 (5.19-1.73) = £3.46 for 3 bottles.

Divide that by 3 = £1.15 a bottle

:) hope that made sense lol

Please see my edited post (and reasoning)
 
342 doesn't work. Spoke to halfords on the phone today. It's either or. Still, thanks for receipts fella. I'll be going in tomorrow.

Depends on the manager who puts it through. They don't have to.
 
It's not look at the receipt '-£1.73' '3 for 2 offer'

That doesn't show the deal. It shows the name of the product and the fact that it should be in 342. But all I'm going off is Halfords customer services. I'll let you know tomorrow as halfords is round the corner.

Well I used up at least half a tank going to two different tescos, then their petrol shops, one morrisons, an asda and finally a motorbase.... Not a single place had it. Ordered a bottle off amazon for £7... :eek: hopefully it will pop up in tescos again for a decent price...
