    Not sure if this is in all stores, but 6 pack of Prasky currently scanning at €1.19!

    Very few packs left on the shelves in Drumcondra...

    If you take it to the self-checkouts, it will scan at €1.19 and then you will need a staff member to authorize the sale...the price isn't displayed when they are authorizing it, so probably a good way to keep this under the radar for as long as possible!

    Are you sure you haven't just scanned one can instead of the big bar code indicating it is a 6-pack?

    Surely the weight would be different between one and a six pack. Any problems with that

    Under the radar and you post it on boards? :p I have to laugh at that although it is a cracking deal even if the beer aint up to standards its only just over a euro..

    BTW don't they give you the items free if the item aint the price that it should be? Or does that only come into conclusion when the price is higher on the shelves?.. I got free crate Miller because of that one time ;) good birthday present it was haha!

    I assume the 6 pack comes is in its own plastic wrapping with its own barcode.

    Yep, has it's own code on bottom of pack, and the self service tills check the weight of the item, so if a single can was scanned it would have tweaked out when the six pack was put down.

    As I understand it their current policy is to refund you double the difference (not a full refund) if you are charged more then the shelf price.

    When the staff approve a restricted item it doesn't measure the weight

    It does, if the weight is dif to the one stored in the system it will print out later on a list of exceptions.

    Tried in Tesco Sligo there a while back.. scans at €6.99.

    A single can is €1.19 though so definitely a once-off mistake.

    Will mark as expired til I hear otherwise.
