Pampers glitch at Boots

Went to Boots to get nappies on 3 for 2 promotion.
Picked up 2 x Jumbo box (2 x 74 nappies) of Pampers Baby Dry Size 4+ at £12.99 per box.
1 x Economy pack (70 nappies) Pampers Baby Dry Size 2 at £9.99.
Expecting to pay £25.98 (the £9.99 pack free on 3 for 2 deal),
however the total came to £13.24!! :j
I quickly paid and left!! On checking my receipt, the jumbo boxes went through as £3.25 each!! So I paid for:
size 2 pack £9.99
jumbo box size 4+ £3.25
jumbo box size 4+ FREE
I went back in to buy more, but typically no more jumbo boxes in size 4+ left (all other sizes though!). I got a price check on the size 5 jumbo
boxes but they scanned at normal price of £12.99. Checked online and glitch on 4+ doesn't seem to be working there, so not sure if it's a till error nationwide or just my local Milton Keynes Westcroft Boots!
Good luck to anyone else trying!!

i sold some 5+ the other night and they scanned at £3.25, the guy had 3 boxes and paid £6.50, when i went to check for some more which i was going to buy for my sister in law they had all gone, never thought to check the other sizes. i thought maybe it was because we weren't going to be having that size any more0
