An Asda customer got the shock of his life when a 'reduced' box of croissants turned out to be more than he bargained for.
The man had picked up the bakery treat in the reduced section, which he believed were were going to cost under a pound. But it was only when he scanned the items through that the price was revealed on screen.

They added: "We know our croissants are good, but we agree £617 might be pushing it!
"This looks to have been a one-off caused by a smudged or damaged barcode that has scanned incorrectly and we've checked our other yellow sticker products at this store and not found any other issues.
"Thankfully this was spotted and rectified by our colleague immediately, and we hope this customer enjoyed their croissants knowing he
