Tesco have just paid me to take tomatoes! :D

Chopped tomatoes are buy 1 get 3 free. But they deduct the price of 2 cartons from your one, meaning they pay YOU 56p per carton, bought a tray before and "over scanned" them multiple times through the self check out and managed to get a £20 shop for free

Which might be a little bit naughty, but i don't care too much none the less

Think they've fixed it now though, but worth a check just in case!

Is awesome when it happens.

I'm not sure if they still do, but with reduced items they used to apply the full-price discount - there were a load of chicken goujons on 'buy 2 for £3' and were £2.50 each full price but 20p on reduced - so every two gave you £1.60 off your bill. p

Needless to say, ended up with a dozen packs of chicken goujons and a 'free' 24-pack of beer

Genius.

This is a good reason for self checkouts though!

When my mate worked at Safeway and had a discount card, we used a load of vouchers. Got about £50 of drink and a packet of chewing gum... had to buy the gym so the total wasn't a minus amount
