Tesco doing Vat back!!!!

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

On the way home from work tonight I popped in to Tesco and picked up my weekends supply of Strongbow, CD's and a Fajita kit for tonight and noticed that the amount was wrong, I questioned it and told the lovely little check out girl that she had undercharged me........

She went on to explain that Tesco are doing a VAT back thing, not a reduction to 15% from17.5% but full VAT back on any non food products. Not sure if this is country wide or indeed only just for today but if I had known I would have spent more.

PS - Great deal at the moment on Strongbow....2 x 15 can case for £12 so I brought 4 cased. 60 cans of bow for £24 is some deal, trouble is they are limiting people to 4 cases only.

Sainsburys are much the same. I was in there today and was told that although the pricing has not yet been reflected on the ticket infront of each item, the tills have been adjusted. So you will get your 2.5% on top of the price shown. Bonus.

In other news, I also found out that wolworths were their suppliers for music and films, which may suggest that either they will buy them out or that they will have bugger all stock for christmas!

To be accurate - you won't get 2.5% reduction, it's more 2.2% as it only applies to the VAT portion of the total price e.g.

1175/1150= 1.022

So for every £1 on the 'old' price, you'd pay the equivalent of 97.8p.

It was no VAT what so ever
