Tesco Price Promise
For anyone that shops in Tesco if you check your receipt on line when you get home after shopping in store they will e mail you a result and if it would have been cheaper elsewhere a voucher.
We have had the instant ones in the new Sainsbury's but only just found out you can do it with Tesco as well. They are valid for 28 days so it is worth doing. You take them in store and use them like any other voucher or can be used if you shop online as well I think.
I know this is not specifically Hertford BUT it does related to the Hertford shops as that's where we shop and use them.

Ah, but Sainsbury has stolen the march on them because it happens automatically, in real time and is built into the till software, so no tiresome homework and remembering to claim. It's part of my reason for welcoming Sainsbury, despite not really liking supermarket culture at all. It encourages Tesco to be less insultingly complacent than they have been with their Hertford clientelle and actually make an effort.

Tesco are acknowledging that, contrary to their marketing pitch, they know you can buy cheaper elsewhere.
If you cotton on and are sufficiently motivated they won't refund the difference but instead issue a voucher.
A voucher which to redeem, you must revisit Tesco and buy goods which they have told you are cheaper elsewhere.
It's one thing being ripped-off, albeit only for a few pence, but Tesco have found a way to tempt even the price-conscious, informed shopper to return for a repeat shafting.
You've got to hand it to them.

Perhaps you can you tell me Louise_M?
Apply that clairvoyent talent of yours to divine "what most people think" and speak for the "silent majority".

In that respect they are the same as Sainsburys. As Shunt points out Sainsburys do it automatically but it is still a voucher rather than a refund. The vouchers Tesco issue are money off your total shop
(not off specific items) and I think they are valid for longer than the Sainsburys ones.
I agree with teddylad that there is not much between them.
Still it is useful information that Marilyn posted up, especially if you shop at Tesco anyway and were unaware.

Well I am God like..
On a serious note, you have to spend £20 in Sainsbury’s to recieve a voucher.

Did this with yesterday's receipt from Tesco. got the results and it would have been 13p cheaper from Morrisons. Don't know if I'll bother printing off my 13p voucher but I suppose 'every little helps'

We have had almost £10 back since Christmas in vouchers but yesterdays said it was cheaper there than anywhere else......depends how much branded stuff you buy I guess.
