Caz, I've done the glitch but still can't get my head around how it works:oI want to buy vitamins that are £8.99 so what would be the best way to do it? I know they won't be free but I need to get them anyway, so any discount is good, one for you to work out cos I know you're a whizz at this:p

Fancy seeing you here, I was just about to ask for Caz's help too. I am a right donut. I knew everyone had been saying 15 was the magic number, had only tried 6s before, so I went for it and at a store with no SS till. But someone needs to teach me to count, :o. I got 16 shots not 15, along with 10 lots of 99p vits and 5 lots of 79p ones. Was wondering how much I would have saved if had not bought the extra shot, still got a good discount but was not as big as I thought.

Without working it out I'd hazard a guess that you would have saved just the cost of the shot i.e. £1.99. There were no extra discounts that helped you but it could have been worse - you could have got 17 shots

As long as you buy the £8.99 vitamins in 3s you'll get the best net discount for them. If you got 6 of them plus 6 shots obviously, it would cost you £30 after all discounts.

If you bought just 3 vitamins and 3 shots it would cost you £16.
If you bought 9 vitamins and 9 shots it would cost you £46.
If you bought 12 vitamins and 12 shots it would cost you £60.
If you bought 15 vitamins and 15 shots it would cost you £74!!!!

Thanks Caz, that's brilliant:TEvery little bit helps;)

Only the best people here you know;)

Caz, I think another elite11+' er is on their way over with a question as well;)

No problems.

Whoever is on their way, tell them to hurry as the clinic is only open as long as this risotto takes to finish cooking :cool:

You mean I actually paid for a shot! :eek:

Thanks caz, I did think that. Have been trying to work out the maths from the receipt but this one has definitely lost me and I'm usually pretty good. All the other receipts make sense to me, the ones I have done in 6s that is.

Actually if you bought 3 of the expensive vitamins at £8.99 and got 3 cheap ones at say 99p, it would cost you exactly £15.98 minus the cost of the extra shot discount so £14 (or £13.99 if you want to be picky). If you got 3 x 79p shots it would be £13.59. That's probably your best bet - 3 of the expensive ones and 3 of the cheap ones plus 6 shots.

Sorry, never thought of that when I posted earlier.

Have a look at the tables I posted on page 25 (don't go there with 40 posts per page!). That shows you how the calculation is broken down.

Right got it, 3 cheapies, 3 expensive & 6 shots, that should be quite easily concealed amongst my 75% off stuff;)

hi in a nutshell, no need to get any extras just buy in 15s for the best discount
eg 15 shots and 15 £8.99 vits
if you dont want that many buy in 6s
still too many get 3 off each but but you will miss out on the 5for4
there are 3 offers in this glitch kicking in
1st 3for2 on all
2nd 5for 4 on shots
3rd get free shot with every vit product
if you only want 3 £8.99 vits get also get 12x 79p vits with 15 shots
