1st shop
Groceries totalling £148.09
24 pks batteries= £84
But it only took
2 free batteries= -56.00
BOGOF = -£31.50
So these didnt work out either...
BUT I did a 2nd shop
18 x batteries
Smirnoff Vodka
Batteries 2 free = -£42.00
BOGOF = -£31.50
total to pay £6.50
Same store...
RIGHT..... I think the problem is.... all batteries were AA appart from 6 packets of AAA mixed up in the 1st shop..
Could this be it???
Legendmum.. did you buy the AAA or the AA???
To add to the confusion, i bought a split of AA & AAA's earlier in the transction & got all the discounts, so i think if you have at least 1 pack of AA's the double discount wil kick in0 -

Haven't taken advantage of many of these deals before. Just learned today the value of hiding such deals in lots of shopping etc. All had security tags and I went through self-serve. Big mistake as seems they like to press the finish button, and she was surprised the batteries were free and wouldn't let me have them. Lesson for the future

Last time I got hardly anything at a normal till and the guy was like a robot and paid no interest to what the till said, and just asked for an amount of money after scanning.0 -
