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

3 expensive will cost you £15.99
3 cheapies will give you 1p back for 99p vitamins or 41p back with 79p vitamins
6 shots will give you an extra £1.99 off on top of all the other discounts

Result :beer:

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:

Niki told me to get over here quick as I only had as long as it took you risotto to cook. Big, huge, massive thanks. Joined the 15 club today and have a good supply of toothpaste, mouthwash and Johnsons bathtime to last me a while. Here's hoping the glitch overlapps the 75% sale (oh my word they may as well give the stuff out free) :rotfl:

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

Nikki, if you buy your 3 x 8.99 vits + 12 x Ricola you get the lot for just £8.26

Shots (15) = 29.85
Vits = 17.40 (12*1.45) + 26.97 (3*8.99) = 44.37
Free shot = -29.85
342 vits = -5.80 (4*1.45) & -8.99 = -14.79
342 shots = -9.95
544 shots = -5.97
Ricola 45p disc = -5.40 (12*0.45)

Total = £8.26

THE BEST DEAL!!:T:T:D

Just a re-cap before I head off for the night. The tables below show how the discounts are broken down.

Good luck tomorrow ladies.

The first 2 are as per my previous post but the last table shows how much a batch of 3 same priced vitamins costs. All you need to do is add up the total for each batch of 3 you buy and then deduct an extra £1.99 for every 5 shots you buy.

Example:

If I were to buy 3 Vitamin C at 79p and 3 Evening Primrose Oil at £2.05, I add -£0.41 and £2.11 which is £1.70. Because I have 6 shots I can also take off £1.99 for the 5for4 discount so I now have credit of 29p towards my shopping. Hope that makes sense!

NOW I'm confused eeek!!!
Is this with or without shots
I thought the ricola sweets were a substitute if the store didn't have cheap vitamins
Have I lost the plot??

With shots...see the workings!!:D

the Ricola are classed as vits and going thru at 3 for 2 and reduced to £1 so an extra 45p off per pack and till sees full price!!:D

Too many cooks Celebrate. As you can see from my calculations in locarrs post, there's very little in it and quite a few stores don't stock the Ricolas. Depends if you are really that worried about pennies and if you want to buy something for the sake or it or to use it.

12 Ricolas & shots = -£5.74
3 expensive vits & shots = £15.99
Extra shot discount = -£1.99
Total = £8.26

12 79p vitamins & shots = -£5.62
3 expensive vits & shots = £15.99
Extra shot discount = -£1.99
Total = £8.38

I'm sure you're not going to lose sleep over 12p but if it makes others happy trying to act the big boy then go right ahead :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
