Default Argos Glitch on 2 for £15 toys

Argos have a selection of toys 2 for £15 but some are reduced.
The glitch happens if you put one of the reduced toys in the basket.

If you put in one of the 3 £4.99 toys and another more expensive toy in (from the 2 for £15 offer) it reduces the dearer toy to £5.01.

So you get both for £10, obviously the dearer the more expensive toy the more you save. For example if you put in a £4.99 toy and a £7.50 toy you will save around £2.50 / if you put in a £4.99 toy and a £10.99 toy in the basket you save around £6.

Thanks floflo, just a shame the 3 reduced toys are not so great lol. Not sure if it would work if you took the reduced one back later? Or is that just too naughty?

I put in 3 things
1) 4.99
2) 7.49 (which reduced to 5.01)
3) 9.99 ( which reduced to 5.01 and put back up the 7.49)
Took out the 4.99 item and it stay at 5.01 bonus! So 12.50 for 17.48 worth of goods

Got two things for £12.50, got to checkout, both items in stock, 1 left of each.......... got to reserves page and MY PINK GUITAR went out of stock!
Which MSE'R'S got it, lol!
So only my keyboard got reserved, bonus as it showed £5.01 on screen!

And my printers not working, humptttthhhhhhhhh!

If they do honour they are being very kind as 'the price in store is the price you pay' so not obliged to do it, fingers crossed, great find both of you!!
