Have you ever noticed that when an item is on special offer, it’s always missing from the shelves? Then, it miraculously reappears after the promotion ends. I guess Tesco is covered by the mention “while stocks last”. For instance, I went to buy some Color Catcher sheets which were reduced by 33% for 2 weeks. They weren’t available at all during these 2 weeks, but were back on the shelves as soon as the price was back to normal….
At least you know with Lidl / Aldi to get in quick if you really want something speciial. Tesco just manipulate everyone all the time -( Tesco hint – look for their ‘out of date’ stuff buried on a shelf. Sometimes you can get 50% off their ‘Finest’ range if you’re quick ! )
