Just got back from large chain shop. 40 min drive away.
I bought a large cream blanket which was folded and tied up with a thick ribbon. It had a large card 'tag' with a price sticker attached to it.
The only way of removing the tag was to untie the ribbons IYSWIM.

There was only one blanket in the shop and when I got home, I thought I'd quite like to order another so, I searched online using the barcode.

The barcode was for a £15 blanket and I paid £15. The on-line product search came up with a cheap looking thing - not the one I have.

I searched through the images and I actually have one that should have cost £85. My blanket has no label sewn on it but it's definitely the expensive one.

AIBU to just keep it and not say a word? I got it for £70 cheaper ffs!
It's not worth £85 in my opinion & there's no way I'd have paid that but even so... WWYD?

Similar thing happened to me at Lewis’ when we were scanning stuff for our wedding list. There was a lovely canteen full of cutlery (normally £250) but had an individual tag on it for £100. We had some vouchers on us so took it to the till at the end and it scanned at £250. I pointed out the sticker and the manager honoured the cheaper price so we paid for it there and then.

Hmmm I’d probably ring them if it was me, but I don’t automatically think you’re the devil reincarnate if you don’t.
Just think if how much stuff you’ve overpayed for in the past, this balances it out Grin

When I worked in retail (large chain), if something was incorrectly priced. we always honoured it. The company preferred to lose a few quid here and there in the name of good customer service.

I got a set of baby bottles for free once. They were £35 and I had bought other stuff. I didn't realise till I got home and saw they weren't on the receipt so she hadn't scanned them. But it goes round in circles cos I've also lost money before. It happens.

Am I the only one who wants to see what the blanket looks like? I love blankets. I just bought a big waffle weave blanket for my bed.

I think you've accidentally bought someone else's carefully (or not so carefully) executed plan to swap the labels and get an £85 blanket for £15... Grin

poor I wondered that when I got home & attempted to buy the second one on line! It was carefully folded & tied so didn't look out of place (other than it being the last one!).
I often winder when I come across odd/single items of clothing 'hidden' behind racks of clothes that are all the same. I always think that someone is coming back for that...
