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's what you make it....

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

    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"

    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].
  • 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??? :confused:

  • I think you're right Loopy Lobes, the discount was nothing to do with the hula hoops!
  • Agreed I could have picked up anything for £1.00 and 'got it free'.
