'Imagine if I hadn't noticed'
An Asda shopper who thought he had bagged a bargain was left doing a 'double take' when he scanned his shopping. The man was shocked to discover his "reduced" price croissants were almost going to cost him an extortionate sum, despite stating they had been reduced to 60p.
A packet of two Asda Extra Special almond croissants had a yellow sticker on, stating they were now just 60p, instead of the original £1.70. The man said he thought they would be perfect to have for his breakfast the following morning, reports the Liverpool Echo. But when the shopper put them through the self-checkout, he almost paid a staggering £617.91 for them. The Asda customer told the ECHO: "It was a good job I did a double take, I was very close to just tapping my card without checking. The member of staff and myself both saw the funny side of it though. Imagine if I hadn't noticed, they'd have had to have been the best croissants of my life.
Responding to the incident, an Asda spokesperson said the incorrect price was a "complete anomaly", caused by a smudged barcode. They added: “We know our croissants are good, but we agree £617 might be pushing it!
