    It's true, more you put eggs and the figure become minus. I have a figure of minus £ 15.00 so i ordered 4 bottles of wine delivered for £ 10.00 (£ 2.50 the bottle...not bad if the glitch work) :)


    I tried again but not working anymore:(

    Mine is still working too but I'm really dubious that this will work due to it saying guide price, don't want the hassle of turning the delivery away if I'm charged full price

    As much as i would like it to, i really dont think this will work. The price you pay for the eggs is the actual price on the day you get the delivery. So from tomorrow the eggs will be £2.50 each, not £1.00.

    For example, today you put 12 eggs in your basket (12 x £1.00) - total £12.00, then when you put tomorrows delivery date in, it takes off the discount which is buy 1 get 2 free - so the discount is 8 x £2.50 = £20.00. Thats why you get a minus -£8.00 on your order.

    But......

    Tomorrow when the price of the eggs goes up to £2.50 each, your basket will total ( 12 x £2.50) = £30.00, then it will take the discount - buy 1 get 2 free off which is again 8 x £2.50 = £20.00. So your total will now be £10.00, not -£8.00.

    At least thats what i think anyway, so as much i would like this to work, i don't think i will bother.
  • ..Not sure if this is going to work, but have put 12 in with my grocery order, worth a punt! Thanks OP.

    I agree - and if there was any prospect of the price not being correct tomorrow then I imagine that the spike in demand for the eggs today will quickly alert Mr T.
