further to earlier posts on here about buying reduced and getting them to pay you to walk away with things (or at least making them very cheap) i discovered over the weekend that sainsburys have got around this, if you buy 2 packs of potatoes say that are bogof at £1.19, but reduced to 69p on the packs, it'll only knock off the reduced price (69p) at the till, not the full price,. this happened with a couple of items, so it wasn't just a one off. checkout girl said it was to stop all the people who take advantage of it :-[ . just thought i'd warn you all.

Our local co-op recently had some cheese pm 1.99. It was on a manufacturers promotion (ie black typing across pack)on BOGOF. It had been reduced to £1.49 so picked up two packs only to be informed couldn't have BOGOF. I pointed out this then made it £2.98 for 2 packs, dearer than when it had been on full price. To which I got "I see you point, I'll pass comments on".
I refused to buy cheese. 2 days later still on this price so complained todifferent member of staff who told manager.
Result - big thank you & 2 free packs of cheese.
I could have seen their point if it had been co-op promo that had finished but it wasn't - it said BOGOF on pack. Co-op had also got loads of stock and were trying to clear them quick b4 sell-by-date ???

Thanks for that. I suppose they were bound to twig sooner or later. Damn

Nope.Go and ask. You won't be any worse off than you currently are even if they say no. Let us know how you get on

I always check my receipts now as occasionally BOGOFs are missed and once I was charged £12.99 instead of £2.99 for something. We can't afford to give them money >:(

rang and they said they'd had problems with this bogof, and that rather than just refund me the difference, would i be happy with £5 voucher, yes please said me, as it was only £1.09 missing. called at customer services and collected it, only to find its a £10 one instead. one very happy 160. ;D
