Disgusting stuff!

Couple of Q's - does this include Newcastle Brown?

And how intelligent is Tescos computer system as I dont want to get robbed by putting through several offers in 1 transaction. As its 3 for 2 (cheapest free), say I buy 3 x £3 packs and 3 x £5 packs. Will it do me the cheapest 2 for free (saving £6) or will it do me 1 £3 pack free and 1 £5 pack free (saving £8) as it would do if I made 2 seperate transactions?

I would think it would take 2 x of the cheaper and smaller £3 packs off if you put them through together.

Do two seperate transactions, put the smaller ones through on one transacation and the larger together on the second transaction.

If that's how it works and you have to create 2 transactions then that's a rubbish computer system!
Such a fundamental question with 3 for 2s but I can't find an answer to it anywhere.

That depends what side of the fence you are standing; from a commercial point of view (i.e. Mr T) it would be a rubbish computer system to needlessly give money away. After all the offer is buy 2 and get cheapest free.

I know that B+Q had 3 for 2 on paints and I had to take back 6 bought together so that I could buy them in two groups of 3.

:beer: I bought a 24x 440ml case of Stella on Sunday for £15 in Tesco although I believe there is a general huff over their decision to drop the strength to 4.8%

No such thing as a 500ml bottle of Hoegaarden AFAIK. Just 330ml and 750ml.
This is a great offer. I usually buy the 750ml bottles which have been on offer for £2.50 each, which is usually better value than the 4x330ml would be.
But this time round, buying 12x330ml (3 4 packs, 3 for 2) for £5.98 is better value per ml than 3 750ml bottles, which are also 3 for 2. More packaging but cheaper, bit illogical. Yes, it's delicious, and I bought 12! Cheers OP!

Thank you OP. My partner managed to get 3 packs last week and went in again today and got 6 more packs at his local. He is enjoying it right now.
