Always thought formula milk was price fixed.

Only the stuff from birth to 12 months as that's the time period during which the government have decided that you should breast feed meaning they won't allow the promotion of formula feeding. This includes price fixing ,no discounts or offers and no reward scheme points like Mr Shoes or Mr T etc. Pretty poor for those who cannot do anything except formula feed through no fault of their own.

Couldn't agree more, whatever life throws at you, try to retain a sense of humour.

...via the nearby A on the way there for some free Baxters Soups. I thought, after last night, the multibuy offer of 3 for £2 was still showing on the SEL even though the soups had just gone off A multibuy. Sure enough, it was. I paid 98p x 3 (£2.94) and then got the 94p difference back from CS together with a £2 gift card.

So for the 'inconvenience' of having £2.94 taken off my gift card (one of the ones that gave me an extra £6 overnight last Nov. - though I'm sure I've double counted and triple counted that benefit by now), I got 94p in cash plus £2 on a new gift card. (I think the best way would probably have been to buy 12, but maximum 10 of any one variety, in a comp vs M and then bettering by 10% the M multibuy any 4 for £2, after the refund for overcharge compared to the SELs. However, we needed some M-non comparable flavours, so I got three cans in total - just about pays for the mistake on the Nescafe coffee.)

Hi, just come back after having a random thought about whether the purchase of 12 option would have been better (given that you only get £2 on the gift card regardless of the number purchased). Assuming all went to plan, if you bought 12 (perhaps 10 of one and two of another, both comparable vs M, both happening to have a multibuy SEL at A), plus M fillers or items vs M you were already buying, for the soups you'd pay 98p x 12 = £11.76. You 'expected' to have paid 4 x multibuy of 3 for £2 = £8.00. Therefore £3.76 refund, plus the £2 gift card. £11.76-£5.76 being £6.00.

Then your £11.76 (as the multibuy really wasn't on) would be compared on APG, assuming you bought the varieties that returned correctly on the APG and recognised the M multibuy - and my A vs M post gave two varieties known to have worked - APG £11.76 A vs 3 multibuys of 'any 4 for £2' for M = £6 M, refund of £11.76-£6.00 = £5.76 plus 10% cheaper 60p = £6.36 APG.

Yes, it would have been better - on this, you'd have been paid 36p to take away 12 cans of soup. Assuming everything worked...

Please correct my maths, someone, if I've worked it out wrongly or someone please check me that my maths is correct as I'm disbelieving my own figure of minus 36p - don't know why!!!??!!

On that, I'll wish you goodnight... and see you later!

(Of course you'd spend more than 36p on the fillers/other items, but if you already happened to be doing an M comp., and thus bought no more than you had already got on your list to compare vs M, plus the 12 comparable soups on the mix and matched mispriced SEL, you wouldn't have paid any more than you were going already to do, and would have paid 36p less by getting 12 mixed varieties of multibuy-priced soup after the multibuy had just ended a couple of days ago.)
