free veg plus 19p profit

In the asda magazine at the moment is a coupon for 50p off birds eye field fresh frozen veg.
I have just been to asda and got the 4 pack of steam field fresh veg bags for £1 a pack - but the coupon has the wrong bar code and scans at £1.19 making the veg free and a 19p profit:j

    Did you only buy a single packet & redeem just 1 coupon ?

    this is the new march mag and it has some little iced fairy cakes on thr front cover.

    I bought 2 x packs - I took one pack to the customer service desk to ask how much they were as the label said £1.81 each or 2 for £2 but I wasnt sure if that was right - when she scanned it, it came up at £1. My packs have 4 of the individual steam bags inside containing carrots, brocolli and sweetcorn - the two packs were £2 in total and I gave in 2 x £1.19 coupons giving me £2.38 off my shopping HTH

    You should have bought 4.

    These are included in the 4 for £3 offer

    So they are effective only 75p each

    So it's a 4 x 19p "BONUS" - 1 for each coupon used against each £1 pack and then the give you £1 back for buying 4 :)

    £1.76 off the rest of your shopping :rotfl:
