DON'T GO BEFORE MONDAY !!!

New booklet has offers on both - starts 11th Oct to 31st Oct.

Huggies Pure Baby Wipes (Box containing 6 packs of 64 wipes)
Normally £4.99 + vat
OFFER = Buy 3 but only Pay for 2
Should be £14.97 + vat (= £17.59) - BUT ACTUALLY £9.98 + vat = £11.73

The Huggies 4+ GIGA pack (contains 156) - (These are £22.99 at TESCO.com)

Offer (wording is a bit ambiguous - but I think it means) BUY 2 and they are £14 EACH

Other coupons are quite specific ...

£2 OFF with coupon
BOGOF with coupon
Buy any 2 get £2 OFF with coupon
Buy 2 get 25% OFF with coupon
or
£4.99 with coupon

The Huggies Giga pack one says

BUY 2 SAVE
£14 with coupon

Don't think this means SAVE £14 - otherwise why wouldn't it be like all the others
eg. BUY 2 GET £14 OFF with coupon

I think it means BUY 2 AND SAVE MONEY - £14 (each?) with coupon

HTH

the superdry coupon is literally if you buy 2 boxes you get £14 off your bill, or it was last time! Pretty sure its always the same wording when the offer comes around. I think they are £22.99 inc VAT so on the offer you get 2 boxes for £31.98 or £15.99 each (10.2ppn) If I have the time I'll dig out my receipt from last time.

FYI the giga pack are £17.99 in tesco when they run a baby event (3 or 4 times a year) there has just been one, next is usually Jan/Feb time

Are these the ones that have a sort of "velvet" cover? They cost me £13 not 6 months ago!!! (from Costco).

Frantic scramble for receipt! Can't find the most recent one, but you're right -- idiot me!!! -- back in August they cost me £11.99 plus VAT. I'm dyslexic with numbers so maybe the latest lot didn't cost £25 after all... Will post when I find the receipt. But thank you for this. I now feel a lot better!!!

Sadly the only real chocolate offer in the latest booklet is for a 24 box of Ferrero Rocher - nothing else I'm afraid

Looks like the supermarkets are as good as anywhere to get choccies for next week. Ta everyone who looked.

Jodlebug - The Huggies size 4 were 22.99 for a 156pk and the wipes were 6x64pk, £5.86
Picasso - I didn't see the iRobot Roomba hoover

Hope that's of some help!

Hi

What are they like on prices on car tyres?

nickp8

Not that competitive when I have enquired compared to blackcircles, etyres, mytyres and other online retailers. You can ring the branches tyre depot for a price.

On a par with internet vendors when you compare like for like. Obviously they only sell premium tyres - previously only Michelin, but now Continental. Where they really score is when they have their discounted buy four get 25% off type of voucher deals. If you don't need four tyres immediately then buy the four, get them to put the ones you need onto the car immediately and take the others home. They will fit the other tyres at no extra charge as and when you need them.
