    As displayed on the packaging the one offer is 2 for £1 but there is a second offer (3 for 2) that coincides.

    Thus

    3 x £0.57 = £1.71

    First Offer
    -£0.14 (2 for £1)

    but a second discount also comes off

    -£0.57 (3 for 2)

    Making 15 doughnuts £1.

    To those who have commented that this is a small glitch, I did state this clearly in the title!

    I hope this makes sense.

    You did great, my lovely.

    PS loved your videos
  • It's not a glitch! The second offer has to come off as it is a bakery item and is included in the 3 for 2!

  • it does not matter if we call it a glitch or not. just buy 6 bags and freeze some then nuke as needed

    6 x 57p bags = £3.42
    2 for £1(-14p) x 3 = -£0.42
    3 for 2 (-57p) x 2 = -£1.14
    3.42 - 0.42 - 1.14 = £1.82
    182/30 = 6p per doughnut

    6 x 70p bags = £4.20
    2 for £1(-40p) x 3 = -£1.20
    3 for 2 (-70p) x 2 = -£1.40
    4.20 - 1.20 - 1.40 = £1.60
    160/30 = 5.3p per dougnut

    This is still working. I got the two bags of donuts for £1 which then meant my third item of a baguette was free.:)

    wouldn't it have made one packet of the doughnuts free as its cheapest item free?
