    Not a glitch

    They legally have to do it as on the shippers they have printed 3 for 2 on some of them. Therefore they need to honor the 3 for 2 regardless to what price they put the wrap too.

  • I agree it's not a glitch but a very good price, I bought 3 x £5 wrapping packs that were reduced to £2 and got all 3 for £4 due to the 342, this was on Xmas eve.

    Op did it take off 14p for the 6 rolls or 2 x 14p, 2x14p would be a glitch as it would be taking the full price off as 3 for 2 instead of half price.
  • I see now!!
    So it's taking off 14p when it should be taking 7p off then.
    If so fab glitch!!

    Not sure the op said it took off 14p which is right for 6 rolls 2x7p but as you say if it actually took off 2 of the original price 2x14p that would be a fab glitch.
  • I got 3 rolls reduced from £2.50 to £1.25 and only took £1.25 off for the 342 not the original £2.50 so no glitch in mine
    The art of being happy is to be satisfied with what you have :)

    Better than stingy Boots who remove all sign of any 3f2, so it was a bit like 33 per cent off before Xmas when getting 3f2 and only increased discount by 17 per cent to half price. Thx OP!
