    It's pretty straightforward. Assuming pies cost £2 each and you go to buy 3. If the offer went through as "advertised" as 3 for £2 then total = £2.
    If offer goes through as 2 for £3 and you buy 3 cost = £3 (for 2) + £2 = £5.
    Overcharge = £3. DTD = £6.
    Total cost = -£1 and free pies!!


    Obviously this only works if the SEL says 3 for £2

    It's only a game

    If they do it correctly for example if you take the 6 i purchased

    6 x Lemon Meringue Pies @ £2.00 each = £12
    less discount of 2 for £3 = £3
    Total paid = £9

    but the SEL says 3 for £2 so i should have paid £4 making an overcharge of £5 so DTD = £10 back only my SA gave me £12

    this one is just too confusing for my tiny brain to work out :rotfl:

    could someone just do me a break down of the maths, how on earth are cs going to work it out, as we know that they are not the brightest of people :D

    Buy 6 should be £4 (3for£2) instead you get charged £9 as the deal of 2 for £3 kicks in.
    You have been overcharged by £5 so you should get £10 DTD making a £1 profit.

    Can these be frozen? Otherwise I will struggle to explain to the OH why we are having lemon meringue pie for pudding every day for the next 2 weeks.

    ETA: Just seen these are frozen!! Bonus!!!! My freezer is slowly being emptied of Belgian Chocolate Puds so needed something to replace the space!!
