Glitch on Whitworths dried fruit at Tesco

In my local Tesco today and thought i would stock up on the little boxes of raisins while they are on 3 for 2. On looking at my receipt i noticed that it had taken off the 3 for 3 and also an extra 78p for being on 2 for £3.

So i purchased 3 packets (14 boxes in a packet) of whitworths sunny raisins at £1.89 each.
I had £1.89 taken off for 3 for 2 and then an extra 78p for 2 for £3, which makes them £1 a pack.

It would probably make sense to buy 6 packs but didn't have time to queue again as had to get daughter to playgroup.

Barcode is 5000234046862.

This was in a normal Tesco (R&msg&te, Kent), not an extra or express.

Hope that helps someone.

    Sorry on phone so search not so good, bought the whitworths raisins sultanas and currents to make a cake got 2 packs of each £1.79 a bag buy 2 for £3(sticker on bag), the 3 for 2 on all home baking discount also comes off, if you buy 6 bags it works out around 90p a bag

    This also works on the small single helping dried fruit packs. They are normally 39p-42p each or 3 for £1 but 2 discounts are coming off at the moment making them about 40p for 3. HTH
