    It worked! These thing don't usually for me :D ok, 3 Mondelli Pinot Grigio Blush, 3 spinich and ricotta cannelloni, 3 Garlic flat breads and 3 profiterrole pyrimids all for £13.44!

    Thank you OP!

    OH, that was Sainsbury's Colchester avenue, Cardiff BTW. there was loads of everything left too.

    What time? And on the blush? Maybe that's not been picked up?

    Thanks to everyone who has posted and advised!!

    Just got back and it worked a treat!! Checked my receipt and this was at 10:52!! Thought I would just post a message of thanks and then head back for another go, but looks like it finished at 11:00. Oh well, delighted to have got what I did for £13.06 and lucky I got it when I did.
    Was contemplating doing a proper shop whilst I was there but thought I would check the deal out first in case I had to use the 'oh dear I've left my card at home' route!! & when it went through Ok I forgot my other shopping and ran for the car with a grin on my face!:)
    This was after a moment of panic when the young lad said the 3x£12 wine offer had finished last week after I asked him where they were!
    Panic over when he looked and said 'Oh, there's one on offer here!' Could have kissed him when I saw it was the one I wanted and just 3 left on the shelf!!
    Thanks again everyone!! Should be doing some housework now on my day off but will just visit Superdrug first I think!!

    My recipt is 11.32.....

    I'd paid on the ss and it'd come to £41, so I went to CS to ask for an £11 pound discount (I didn't actually ask, I said "This is meant to be 3 for £10, so it should have been £30 but they charged me £41?") She checked the wine Pino Grigio white, said it was the wrong one, cancelled all the items, put 'em through again with the Blush and refunded me £26.34.

    41- 26.34= 14.66 (not £13.44, sorry)

    Didn't work for my poor husband, he bought 6 as well, he was very embarrassed. I explained that you had to click on the payment type, so he went back and it still didnt work.

    He got 6 of the Pinot - the correct one - he called me for confirmation
    2 gammon
    1 chicken en crout
    1 sea bass
    2 chicken and mushroom bakes
    6 dauphinoise
    3 gu choc mouses
    1 treacle toffe
    2 cheese selections


    Thanks

    I think you were very lucky indeed

    Make £2 a day challenge - doing well so far.
