Tesco, one of the largest retail chains, has faced criticism and scrutiny from customers after selling Persil laundry gel at an unusually low price. Shoppers noticed that the price of the product was not significantly lower than the standard price and, in some cases, even cheaper than in competing stores. Speculation has arisen suggesting that the pricing discrepancy could be a result of a printing error.

In May, a package containing 110 doses of Persil was initially priced at CZK 1,199. However, a few days later, the price suddenly dropped to CZK 699. Similar discounts were observed for gels of other brands with varying quantities of doses.

Interestingly, other stores also offered discounts on Persil products. For instance, Albert sold a package of 44 doses for CZK 299, while Tesco offered the same product for CZK 399.90.

Concerns have been raised on social media platforms, with individuals expressing doubts about the unusually low price. Some speculate that it could be a result of a printing error. Michal Kuzmiak, a spokesperson for Tesco, acknowledged that the company is continuously exploring ways to provide customers with cost-saving opportunities. However, Kuzmiak did not provide a specific explanation for the significant drop in the price of Persil.

If the pricing discrepancy is not a result of a printing error, customers may perceive Tesco’s regular prices for Persil as unreasonably high. The standard price for the gel is approximately CZK 729, leading some customers to voice their dissatisfaction, particularly considering that Persil is available at much lower prices in other stores.

The situation has generated discussion among consumers, prompting them to share their thoughts and opinions on Tesco’s mysterious Persil sale on social media. As the issue unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Tesco will provide further clarification on the matter.
