Shopper reveals huge saving on Toblerone at Coles after reading label carefully
Why you should always check supermarket labels for errors – and how it can save you on every store
- A man picked up a $1.50 Toblerone from Coles
- He wants shoppers to check their tags
A chocolate lover has bagged a bargain after noticing a mistake on a ‘special’ label while shopping at Coles.
The customer scored an orange-flavored Toblerone for just $1.50 ā despite the special being two for $16.
“Sometimes it pays to read labels,” he said, sharing a photo of the misprinted label and his chocolate bar.
The Toblerone bar was a special 360 gram version and is no longer available on the Coles website.
Other varieties, including the original flavor in 360 grams, and $12 worth of special attention to the great buy.
A customer shared this photo – proving that attention to detail matters when you hit the grocery store
50 gram versions of the popular chocolate are also on sale – for $2.
The man posted his sweet find on the Markdown Addicts Facebook group to remind everyone that attention to detail can pay off even at the grocery store.
People were excited about the helpful post.
“Oh dear… I’m going to hunt this now,” said one person.
The customer confirmed that he had only paid $1.50 for the chocolate and that the supermarket was happy to honor the price on the label.
“You can see the workers are now starting to wonder why an entire community across Australia is suddenly reading tags up close in the aisles by the checkout,” one woman wrote on the post.
“Yeah my shopping is going to take so much longer now reading all those labels,” another wrote.
Others admitted that they are spaced out when they go to the shops.
Another customer shared a photo of a tag they noticed days before – revealing mistakes are common
āI will definitely have to concentrate now,ā one wrote.
Another person shared their own misprinted tag with two bags of Fruit Tingles for $6 or one for $2.04.
This further excited shoppers.
‘Once is luck – twiceā¦ well, it can happen again and again. This is the best hack ever,” said another.
