    Some of the 250ml size are £1.47 and BOGOF so better value.

    Actually slightly more expensive but still a bargain and a good alternative if the 150ml are oos.

    Really?

    150ml @ £1.00 = 66p per 100ml

    250ml @ £1.47 = 58p per 100ml
    If you're not scared, you're not paying attention

    online it shows the 150ml one for £1 -67p per 100ml, 250ml £1.47 at 98p per 100ml if you trust their price per 100ml the 150ml bottles are cheaper BUT if you check Minnie's calculations you'll see that the true cost per 100ml for the 250ml bottles is 58.8p and therefore slightly cheaper. Now I'm quite happy the 100mls were OOS both yesterday and today

    ok totally confused , .
    by mistake I picked up

    5 x 250ml £7.35
    1 x 150ml £2.30 (it was laying down so just grabbed it)

    Then on reciept it took off £4.41 at the end.

    (of the calm and care).

    So this left £4.41 to pay.
    which works out like this....

    all 6 x are 82p each.

    instead of 72p each. (if I had got 6x 250ml)

    but what I dont understand is how did it come to this calculation ?
    Is it worth returning the 150ml bottle ?
    that cost £2.03 , can I do this ?
    If I did this , and they gave me £2.03 back , what would happend to the other stuff on receipt ?
    would they just give me the £2.03 back ?
    which would mean the rest of the stuff works out at 58p per 250ml bottle.

    mmmm told you I was confused , maybe I should just keep the stuff.

    Also what would happen
    Kindness costs nothing :)

    I'm guessing the 7 bottles were £1.47 each, you got BOGOF on 6 0f these, 3 X £1.47 = £4.41. I'm guessing the one 150ml bottle you bought wasn't one on BOGOF for you paid full price for that one and full price for one of the £1.47 ones. I'd take back one for £1.47 and one for £2.03 and get a refund of £3.50 if I'm right and you picked up one that wasn't on offer (you can check which ones are BOGOF on .com)
