Bought 2 packs of Pringles with the 25% extra free today - 'sour cream and onion' and 'scary cheese' and the discount DIDN'T come off. Bought 2 more in a different store but both were 'sour cream and onion' (as they were the only flavour with the extra 25% free) and the discount DID come off. Therefore it might be that you have to have the cheese flavour for it not to work.

Now this is weird. I am just going to edit my first posts on the (Halloween packaging, 25% extra) Pringles, as what I have now found is this:

1st store, (tested the theory) got 1 orig, 1 sour cream/onion, no discount :T

2nd store, bought six sour cream/onion, no discount, Manager agreed R&R :T

3rd store, bought 4 orig and 4 sour cream, DISCOUNT ON 4 ONLY (Part R&R)

The final store were pretty sure the discount came off with the Originals, but NOT the sour cream/onion (luckily these are the family's favourites!).

So looking at this and a previous post, looks like you may be able to get the Sour Cream/Onion, or the Paprika, R&R'd (you could put ONE Original in your trolley too, as I did the first time).

I got scary cheese, original and sour cream, discount worked for original only, sour cream are our fav's as well, (not that I'd normally buy them). I couldn't find another store with 25% extra's on display.

I think they are new stock this week, they have Halloween packaging if that helps anyone.


QUOTE (Patches O'Houlihan):
Just R&R some pringles in my local store (Newcastle) but as already posted.... be careful as SEL refers to different sizes. Still got the money tho! Also the paprika (is that how you spell it?) are not in the offer.

See my post about this a couple of pages ago, the small print means that no-one should be turned down for R&R on these IMO.


QUOTE (Starb):
Yes - two sour cream and onion, one original and one fiery hot.

Starb, sorry if it sounds silly but did you check for sure that they took off the full 92p (or whatever) for 4 tubs? Check your receipt just in case, as I only got the discount on the Originals I bought in store 3, had to do some Maths to work out that the Sour Cream/Onion ones had not had the discount applied).

Yes, definately took off 92p.

It was an ordinary sized Tesco if that helps anyone.

Just got back from an R&Ring trip, got some more fosters!!!

Couldnt believe it when I saw the old SEL (2 for £6) still up but there was only one four pack left on the shelf, asked a helpful young chap who went to find some, filled a trolley up!

Went to CS and told her what had happened she went off and came back with one of the large SELs that said 2 for £6.30 (including fosters twist) so I took her back and showed her the golden ticket, she took it out and showed it to the guy that went and got the fosters for me, they had a little conversation making sure it was the right size cans etc. And then she put the SEL back on the shelf!!! took me back to CS and gave me the full R&R with a smile saying "you'll enjoy them even more now!"

Yes, I will! :beer:



Oh, and seeing as I'm in a caring and sharing kinda mood, this was in Tescos Crawley, there should be plenty there as the guy brought a load out to stack the shelf up with!

Go get 'em!!!

i got 2 sour cream and 2 origional....discount did come off with that combination (these were the 25% extra free ones....anyhow so with these and other shopping paid the correct 2 for £2.30 twice
Bit later went back, made up a story and got the pringles refunded...cs lady put them thru and gave me back £5.52!?!? I did tell her she hadnt allowed for the offer but she just said "oh well - never mind" and smiled. Just shows some cs staff are ok

It was all I could do to stop myself from laughing!

Neither of them even looked at the date on it!

The guy just said "oh I think that only applies to the fosters twist" then she pointed out that it says foster/fosters twist on the multibuy bit on the receipt, he asked if it was the 500ml cans I got and I said yes "because you dont do cases of the 500ml cans" he just shrugged his shoulders and then she said "oh I'll let you know if its wrong" and put it back!!!

Thought about sending the GF back in but the guy hadnt stocked the shelf back up. So I thought Id let people know on here.

Fosters Twist - otherwise known as 'Would Sir care for a glass of urine a la cat?'

Makes original fosters taste like nectar.....

I had to buy Stella (lucky Stella:o ) for my Friday night session.....
