FREE Hula Hoops (with Pick n Mix purchase) in Woolies

Not sure if this is the right place for this so I apologise in advance if it isn't.
I was in Woolies today and bought some Pick n Mix and was tempted by the 10 pack of original Hula Hoops for £1.00. Bargain, I thought so I grabbed them and took my goodies to the counter to pay.
The sweets were weighed and the price rung up on the till: £3.65 to pay. Checked my receipt on the way out and this is what I found:

Looks as though they have an offer on the pick and mix which in effect means the crisps were free! :beer:
The Best Before on the crisps are 8 November 2008 but I'm sure I'll have finished them by then!

Life beyond voluntary work scares me, but what else is there?

Yeh theres an offer on pick and mix at the mo'Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"0 -

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].0

You didn't actually get the hula hoops free though did you? the hula hoops were £1.00 and they took off £1.04 off your total for the special offer on your pic n mix. So just the pic n mix on offer and the hula hoops priced at £1.00. Or am I completely confused???

I think you're right Loopy Lobes, the discount was nothing to do with the hula hoops!0

Agreed I could have picked up anything for £1.00 and 'got it free'.Life's what you make it....
