Mini Eggs At A Mini Price.

A glitch at Tesco ended up which the family favorites Mini Eggs being sold for only 1p with an added bonus buy one get one free offer making them 1/2p per bag!!!

One lucky shopper managed to get 46 bags for only 23p making them £32.39 (roughly) cheaper then normal!!!!!The glitch affected all Tesco stores across UK but the most affected were in Bolton, Lea Valley and Penarth.Several took to shopping site HotUkDeals to discuss the mistake, with one user reporting that they “had the lot” from their local Tesco. Other items were reported to have to same glitch with Lindor mini eggs going through the till at a penny, though without the buy-one-get-one-free deal. A user joked that they had “cleared out” the store after capitalising on the mistake.

The rush on local Tesco stores follows a similar incident in June which saw three cases of beer being rung up at just £11, or 24p individually- prompting thousands to cash in. They also were caught by a buyer selling buns on a 'special' offer at £1 a pack or 2 for £2. Thanks for working that out for us Tesco!

But Tesco isn't the only shop with price problems. In a WHS store in Worksop there were globes that use to cost £7 but were reduced to £6.99!!! That's a real good saving!!
