    2.29 x 3 = 6.87
    1.99 x 3 = 5.97
    =12.84
    - 4.14 24£3
    - 3.29 25%

    = £5.41 not £1.57. What you have done is say the wine is £9 and then taken the 2 discounts off.
    She bought:
    4x £2.29 = 9.16
    2x £1.99 = 3.98
    £13.14
    -4.14 = £9.00
    -3.29 = £5.71 / 6 = 0.95p

    Is the way I read it.

    if ive done this right,this should be a piccy of the proof of receipt for the wine,who ever wanted to see it earlier. £48 shop down to £11 with £10 JTD back hopefully.the wine was 6 small bottles @ 2 for £3 so total should be £9 after discount i paid £1.57 for all 6 bottles. HTH

    Either way, it's an impressive use of coupons! :)

    total saving £7.43.. so £9 - £7.43 is?? thats how id look at it, or so the receipt says :) maybe just my maths, or the way i looked at the receipt.

    4 x £2.29
    2 x £1.99 = £13.14

    Minus £7.43... price paid for 6 bottles is £5.71 HTH

    Vikki is almost right unfortunately. If you look at your receipt you didn't actually pay £9 for the wine before the discounts, you actually paid £13.14.

    If vikki doesn't mind me borrowing her workings out:

    2.29 x 4 = 9.16
    1.99 x 2 = 3.98
    =13.14

    - 4.14 24£3
    - 3.29 25%

    You are taking off the 2 for £3 twice. It's £9.00 then your 25% which is £3.29.

    They are OK for an Asda comparison.
