Who doesn’t love a good bargain, especially when it involves food?

There's nothing quite like the feeling of scoring a load of cheap grub, whether it's picking up some discounted fruit and veg from your local supermarket or nabbing a buy one, get one deal on your favourite chocolate bar. Yum!

But while most people would be content with just a few small savings here and there, others are always on the lookout for a real 'jackpot' – like one shopper who recently found an unbelievable markdown at his local butcher.

Posting on Facebook, the man revealed that he scored a bulk tray of yearling porterhouse steak for just 25 cents!

‘Got to love it when the shop makes a mistake,’ they wrote on the post.

The 1.54kg pack of steak had been priced at an incredibly low 16 cents per kilo due to what appears to be a pricing error. Can you believe that? Talk about value for money…

Unsurprisingly, many people congratulated the poster for the lucky haul.

‘That’s the universe giving you something special. What a result for you, enjoy your steak.’ one commenter said.

‘Consumers’ rights! 25c for that is a dream!’ another exclaimed.

And another one added: ‘Sometimes we deserve a win.’

But unfortunately, not everyone shared their excitement over the outrageous bargain.

Many people came forward to criticise the shopper for not pointing out the error to the staff before paying such a low price for the product.

One person commented: ‘Maybe do the right thing and take it back and pay for the correct price.’

‘I bet if you overpaid for this, you’d be running back for a refund!’

‘I would alert the store to the mistake,’ another added bluntly.

Others took a more practical stance on the matter and defended the poster.

‘What is wrong with you? (He) got it for the price it stated and it was (the shop’s) mistake so he never overpaid for anything,’ one pointed out.

Another stressed: ‘He paid what was written down on the product … and he scored it, sounds like (people are) jealous because (they) can’t have meat.’

‘Technically they did pay the correct price, it is up to the staff to make sure the price is correct, not the customers. Good for them, great find.’ said another.

The people criticising the poster do have valid points. After all, you can’t deny that it’s clear there was an unfortunate error on the side of the shop for wrongly pricing such a slab of meat.

But, you also can’t blame those who simply see a person taking advantage of a great bargain.

After all, at the end of the day we’re all just people trying to get by, right?

Key Takeaways

• People are split as to whether one shopper's discount haul was a fair one or not.
• A shopper posted his bargain find on Facebook, sharing how he got 1.5 kilograms of yearling porterhouse steak for only 25c.
• The meat was wrongly priced at only 16c per kilogram.
• Some congratulated him for his good purchase, but some also criticised him for not calling attention to the erroneous amount.

People are paid to do a job, who ever did that did not do it correctly, not the shoppers fault, I notice at Coles sometimes large roasts 23 dollars and a "Reduced for Quick Sale" ticket on them for 32 dollars, if I go and buy this at the 'Reduced Price' then go out to my car unload my groceries and bring this lump of meat back to the checkout I will get it for free, is that a problem??

 

[Marita2023]

It's so easy to be the righteous one when it's someone else's lucky break. I would be delighted to profit from a mistake. In fact I would insist on paying the price displayed.

 

[Roscoe44]

This is what the supermarkets deserve when they choose to stock shelves with products and make you collect your products and then have them scanned at one of very few checkouts. By not employing staff to do the product collection and selling, they deserve to lose money due to incorrect pricing. Incidently, when you present a product to the checkout, it is only " an offer to treat" and they actually don't have to sell that product to you. !!!!!

By all means alert them to the error so as it can be fixed but the supermarket has to honour the price on the item. Recently my local had beatifully fresh swiss brown mushrooms for $1.50 per kg. The guys packing the shelves were right there so I queried the price. They explained that that was the price that had been loaded onto their ticketing system so that was the price they had to charge. My small bag cost me $0.49.

 

[Ricci]

Whilst I can understand some people jumping at such a bargain and snatching it up I don't think my conscience would let me, especially as I would know it was an error. I might if it was a supermarket as their profits are quite high but this was a family butchers shop trying to make an honest dollar. I would have asked to speak to the owner/manager and offered them a deal in that I'd pay 50% of the actual value, that way they don't lose so much and I still get a bargain.

 

[saundy]

Technically speaking if he had advised someone about the incorrect price by law they would have had to not only give him the meat but refund him the purchase price he paid, so I say good luck and I hope that he enjoyed the steaks.

I had a similar experience a few months ago in the local supermarket I purchased a bucket of laundry powder when I went through the register the price was almost double, so I said that was incorrect the store manager got me to show me where I got it from sure enough it had a ticket for the price I quoted that ticket was removed on the spot ( last week special but the price tag was not removed) so I got the laundry powder plus a refund for the price I paid. That is the law that is how I found out about it.
It is solely up to the shop managment to ensure all prices are correct

 

[Noraya]

I ve sometimes come across wrongly marked things. it s only human to make mistakes. I usually point it out to the staff, and so far I always got it to the reduced price, but they then rushed to fix the mistake to cut their losses. I used to work in retail during uni, and we had to pay for such mistakes with our own money, so that might explain why I always tell the staff!

 

[JayKay]

The article states that it was at a Butcher's store, not at a Supermarket.
The loss would be devastating for a hard-working butcher.
There's no degrees in right or wrong, it's right or it's not.
Although, I think I'd be thinking if it were at a supermarket, I might give it a go.
Definitely not at a Butcher's.

Recently at Coles I was charged full price for a pork roast. When i informed the cashier that there was 20% off at the time, she got another employee to go check, who returned saying that there was a 20% discount. I then informed them both that according to retail law, that, as I had been asked to pay the wrong price, I was entitled to have the item for free. On checking with another employee, they said that I was correct and I received the roast for free.

But while most people would be content with just a few small savings here and there, others are always on the lookout for a real 'jackpot' – like one shopper who recently found an unbelievable markdown at his local butcher.

Posting on Facebook, the man revealed that he scored a bulk tray of yearling porterhouse steak for just 25 cents!

‘Got to love it when the shop makes a mistake,’ they wrote on the post.

The 1.54kg pack of steak had been priced at an incredibly low 16 cents per kilo due to what appears to be a pricing error. Can you believe that? Talk about value for money…

Unsurprisingly, many people congratulated the poster for the lucky haul.

‘That’s the universe giving you something special. What a result for you, enjoy your steak.’ one commenter said.

‘Consumers’ rights! 25c for that is a dream!’ another exclaimed.

And another one added: ‘Sometimes we deserve a win.’

But unfortunately, not everyone shared their excitement over the outrageous bargain.

Many people came forward to criticise the shopper for not pointing out the error to the staff before paying such a low price for the product.

One person commented: ‘Maybe do the right thing and take it back and pay for the correct price.’

‘I bet if you overpaid for this, you’d be running back for a refund!’

‘I would alert the store to the mistake,’ another added bluntly.

Others took a more practical stance on the matter and defended the poster.

‘What is wrong with you? (He) got it for the price it stated and it was (the shop’s) mistake so he never overpaid for anything,’ one pointed out.

Another stressed: ‘He paid what was written down on the product … and he scored it, sounds like (people are) jealous because (they) can’t have meat.’

‘Technically they did pay the correct price, it is up to the staff to make sure the price is correct, not the customers. Good for them, great find.’ said another.

The people criticising the poster do have valid points. After all, you can’t deny that it’s clear there was an unfortunate error on the side of the shop for wrongly pricing such a slab of meat.

But, you also can’t blame those who simply see a person taking advantage of a great bargain.

After all, at the end of the day we’re all just people trying to get by, right?

If a retailer incorrectly prices one isolated product, it is likely an error. In these cases, a retailer can follow their individual store policy to address the mistake. This means that a store may or may not honour incorrectly priced items depending on their policy, and will not have to sell the product at the wrong price. Store policies are usually displayed at the cash register, or contained in terms and conditions (for online businesses).

This is what the supermarkets deserve when they choose to stock shelves with products and make you collect your products and then have them scanned at one of very few checkouts. By not employing staff to do the product collection and selling, they deserve to lose money due to incorrect pricing. Incidently, when you present a product to the checkout, it is only " an offer to treat" and they actually don't have to sell that product to you. !!!!!

Yes get it while you can, in the future they will probably want the customer to weigh and price the product

People are paid to do a job, who ever did that did not do it correctly, not the shoppers fault, I notice at Coles sometimes large roasts 23 dollars and a "Reduced for Quick Sale" ticket on them for 32 dollars, if I go and buy this at the 'Reduced Price' then go out to my car unload my groceries and bring this lump of meat back to the checkout I will get it for free, is that a problem??

I once experienced the same thing - a leg of lamb for 25 cents. I knew this was not the correct price, but when I said so the the check out person said ‘too bad, that’s what it’s marked, that’s what you’ll pay.’
