    Local T's has them B1G2F. Put 3 packs through SS and on the screen it showed the B1G2F discount but no other. Should I have bought 6? and, is it the B1G2F offer I should be looking for?

    Went back in same store an hour later. SEL says max 18 per customer so if you put 24 or more they can refuse you the deal. Take 18 at a time, get 10.50 off shopping and free batts. Go back later and do it again.

    Like other people have said, I will be sharing my good fortune with me, myself and I.
    I miss too many pages due to work so if you need an answer from me, please send me a PM.

    This is exactly what I did. SEL shows B1G2F which is what I got, no other glitches. It seems it wouldn't have worked at my store though even if I did buy more. Reason is that if its going to work, it will show three packs as being free whereas mine just gave £7 discount same as you got.

    Did you go ahead and purchase them? I got an SA over asked him to cancel them as I had suddenly remembered that I had batteries at home.

    Reading the posts I'm wondering if the glitch only kicks in when you buy multiples of 6. It's too much of a hassle to go all the way back to try. Plus I don't actually need anything and don't want stuck with a heap of free batteries. I could do with a bottle of gin if the glitch is working but then the SA needs to remove the security tag and clear the screen and if SA spots it it could be a wasted trip.

    Hi everyone, Offer still working in Sheffield.
    If any of you see the same packs but with 100% extra free label on the offer still works.
    I got 2x 8 pack AA both packs with 100% extra free and 1x8 AAA pack with 100% free.
    At till it took £7 B1G2F and also BOGOF £3.50.
    So I got 48 batteries for free.:)

    Thanks again OP.
