    Thanks for the heads up on the 100% free packs OP!! I saw the display for the BOGOF's on the 9 packs of Breakaway but I looked on another shelf and there were a box of 9's with 100% free on a shelf with SEL £2.55! They had obviously been put in the wrong place by an assistant thinking they were the 18 packs (which physically they are, but technically they are 9 packs with 100% free). I took 4 packs of the 9 plus 100% free ones to the checkout and they scanned at BOGOF ... £6.20 - £3.10 = £3.10 for 72 Breakaways!
  • Lol wakey wakey people!!

    9 + 100% (9bars) = 18
    18 + bogof (another 9+9 =18) = 36

    Thanks for letting me know = me going to tesco :D
  • Had a look this morning and only the 9 bar packs or 18 bar packs (not the 100% free packs)

    Same here! Neither marked as £1.15 or on BOGOF either
    You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
  • then they are 18 packs surely?

    In one way you are correct- they are packs of 18!

    There is a double saving on this grabbit:

    1. The '9 pack' are on BOGOF .. brilliant!!

    2. Some 9 packs have 100% extra free + the BOGOF - even more brilliant!!

    If you only have the regualr 9 bar packs + BOGOF = 18 bars for £1.55
    If you find the 100% free packs (=18 bars) + BOGOF = 36 bars for £1.55

    I need to go for a lie down!

    I got mine in P:Dtters B:jr

  • I feel sick.
  • hi there
    i went to tesco to investigate and took 2 packs of 18 to the till - marked as £2 each - to try and see if they were BOGOF
    to my surprise they charged me £1.55 for one and £2.00 for the other.
    there are 2 barcodes - the one ending in 311 is charged at £2 and the one ending 713 is £1.55 - this is the one that may be going through as BOGOF
    back to the shelves i went and typical, only ONE of the £1.55 left, all the rest was newer stock which will go throug at £2.00

    So, i dont know if the barcode ending 713 is going BOGOF, but its definetely charging at £1.55

    HTH
    I love this site and all chums, but its making a dent in my bank account!!!

    Have lots of things I want, but dont necessarily need... Must DO BETTER!!! :A

    Right, in my store the 18 bar packs of Blue Riband had an SEL of £2. The 9 bar packs were on bogof but no 100% extra free.

    However, Breakaways had an SEL of £1.55 bogof and mixed in were 100% extra free packs, so I got 2 of those and went through checkout, and yes it did go through as SEL. So, very pleased, thanks all.
