So what's the minimum you have to buy to get it to work out to being free? Will nip down after midnight.

Also to the person who posted the pic, I noticed it said coke 6 pack but on the multibuy it took it off as 8pack?

I know me and hubby spotted that and are trying to work that one out too!

I think its because its the 6 pack with 2 free on the packaging. Probably just the way they've set up the text.
I bought the 6pack with 2 free today as well on BOGOF. So u get 16 cans for £3.25

Just back from Falkirk store (24 hours - Scotland) and it isn't working! Bought correct blue pack of 8 with previously mentioned barcode and 6 packs cost me £7.00. The SEL stated buy one get two free, but thought I would give it a try. Maybe they have cottoned on already and fixed it?? Still a good price I suppose. Good luck to everyone else though.

Didn't work for me either (different store) SEL £3.50 buy 1 get 2 free so I paid £7 for 6 packs.
Going to return them tomorrow - silly me got wrong size lol

Right this has just worked in my local tesco (Extra)
Shelf label said buy one get 1 free. however it did batteries 2 free and buy one get 1 free. Should have cost 76.97 and cost me 3.47 as I purchased two other things! I got 18 in total.

I think the more you buy the more additional money you get off if that makes sense?

I went through self service and the guy noticed but I "know him" (im a regular) and he just laughed and said come back in the morning they will have restocked by then!

Just back from my second visit:beer: Tesco.
It works out that you receive £3.50 for every 6 packs you 'buy'. i.e. buy 12 packs - get £7.00 off your shopping.

Was just about to say, by my calculations buying 18 will give you £10.50 off, which can be used on anything but Buy One Get 2 Free gives max benefit!

Tempted to see if the machine tries to refund £10.50 and spits out a nice tenner.... but I doubt it!! That would add insult to injury for Tesco!

Off to try this in the morning with an extra £10.50 worth of goodies. Our Tesco Extra is rubbish though, judging by last time I was there I'll be shocked if there are many left, there's not much space for batteries!

Don't think it'd work. When I got my first lot I scanned them and had to run and get £3 worth of extra shopping because the balance due was -£2.XX and the machine went in to melt down. It didn't know what to do and froze. Had to get the CSA to void the whole lot.

Hahaha! Thanks, I thought that might well be the case and something must always be due. Better not try it then!
