  • Hi, does it make a difference what order you scan the items through? TIA.

    Hi,

    No it doesnt make a difference to the glitch, as long as you buy in multiples of 3 of each, e.g. 3x shots and 3x vitamins or 6x shots and 6x vitamins etc.

    Best not to put the vits and shots through before other shopping though because the till will show minus! Bound to confuse the SA.

    Gary.

    Will try again tomorrow as this is getting me wipes at under 1p each which is my target glitch price. So unless anyone else knows better, I think the 2 for £8 offer on the 4pks is the way to go.


    If you dont want to buy in multiples of 4 (or 8 in this case) the single packs of huggies are scanning at £1 despite having an SEL of £2.55 BOGOF

    Agreed, most of my spends have been around a tenner, even then its raised an eyebrow, I wouldnt risk a trouting by going under a fiver myself..

    Not sure I follow the maths. But maybe because it is because I failed it at GCSE!!

    No real need to follow the maths, I've got a cupboard full of vits and shots and still dont really understand how its working, it just is! lol

    Doesnt really help by looking at the receipts either, in fact that just makes it more confusing.
