total discounts -£26.34
I don't know if it made a differance how she refunded me? The reciept doesn't make a great deal of sense to me.
Ignore me, I've worked it out now, it's cause the 3 for £12.00 wine discount kicked in on the ss yet she gave me a refund as though I'd paid full price.0 - 
            Just got the deal at 10:40am at the Maypole Sainsbury's where it was suppose to come to £60 but paid only £26.86. I thought of buying then swapping the wines for J2Os at the service counter (because I dont drink wines) but gave them away instead.0

            Thank you OP.
I ended up buying 3 meal deals for £27.36 in a long winded sort of way.
Bought 4x sea bass, 2x chicken en croute, 3xg veg pots, 1x potato dauphinoise, 1x garlic flat bread, 1x salad pack, 1x Gu , 1x profiterole, 3x sticky toffee pudding, 1x cheese selection, 2x rose, 2x white and 2x red.
I had written myself a list of the wines which would work from reading the thread this morning. I had originally put Torretta red and white (3 of each) in my trolly. These triggered the 3 for £12 twice but not the meal deal so went to CS and the lady helped me change the wine for for 2 each of the following wines: Mondelli pinot blush, taste the difference pinot red and taste the difference pinot white. She had to refund in 2s as the till wouldn't accept more than 2 returned wines (not sure why) and then at the end she said she'd forgotten to take off the 3 for £12 discount and save 5% on 6 bottles but it was too late....."oh well, never mind, an even better saving for you.".
So thanks for all your posts.0 -

            NOT WORKING for me
 and really needed some wine for birthday presents.
I went to the ss and when the bill was rising I kept telling myself its ok when you press "pay cash" the amount will drop. It did go down but didnt take much off. I didnt want 3 meal deals for £30 something pounds!The ss helper was great as I was explaining the meal deal wasnt kicking in. We tried a different wine as at first I had 2 white and 1 red so we tried 3 white. I made a list from here to take this morning. I had a suspected the glitch may had been fixed. I said it worked yesterday (didnt even know about it untill late last night!) So would come back when they had re stocked all the wines, think I confused him a bit, he said yeah best to come back when there is a better selection or its not a good deal! Poor thing, and I left him with 3 meal deals to put back. He was great about it tho!0 - 
            
On my third try Ijust told cashier I didn't want them she was fine about it as I'd spoken about the glitch with her earlier and she was gunna try it herself. Happy with my 12 lots.
