Can someone please help me, I think I am being a bit dumb (no change there! :rolleyes:)

Went to Boots tonight and got 2 No7 mirrors and a pedicure set. If the glitch had worked, what should I have paid? I have a feeling it didn't work!

i'm confused now.. :rotfl:

According to my understanding after reading the receipt it works like this: it calculates 342 with the two highest priced items' original prices first, then apply half price - but mistakenly it deducts half (of original prices again) from all 3 items which including the free one

So for example,
Item 1 now £20 (original £40)
Iem 2 now £20 (original £40)
Item 3 now £10 (original £20)

Then you'll pay: £40 + £40 (342) - £20 (0.5 * £40 item 1) - £20 (0.5 * £40 item 2) -£10 (0.5 * £20 item 3) = £ 30

While if you buy 3 items at £20 each (original £40) then you'll need to pay
£40 + £40 (342) - £20 (0.5 * £40 item 1) - £20 (0.5 * £40 item 2) -£20 (0.5 * £40 item 3) = £20

HTH

I'm pretty sure this is how the program's written but somebody correct me if wrong

This is the calculation I get going by what is my receipt for the mirrors ~ how much was actually paid for this combo?

I didnt actually do this shop was calculating for someone else but from my calculations approx £32.48 (going on prices of 19.99, 19.99 & 7.50)

Basically treat the cheapest item price as the "extra" ammount deducted from the total of the other 2 items.

Hiya,

I paid what Glidergirl got it to £32.48. Think I might take it back for a refund and just get the mirrors (what I originally wanted) What would happen with the refund as I used 2 electrical vouchers?

when I took the mascara back and had used the £5 voucher they just refunded the full ammount so treated the voucher as cash...not sure if they would do the same though.

Thanks for the offer SK. Dont trust posting it......bad experience in the past.

posted a mirror once with dhl. it broke... and they somehow know i posted a mirror someone called me up to explain the legal stuff, health & safety of workers, right to take action, breach of terms, etc....:eek: :eek:

also posted once with RM, and the mirror (a small replacement glass for picture frame,actually) arrived with a chip. ....

But keep below the radar on that "2 of same voucher" receipt.
