HOMEBASE small glitch on half-price plants

I went into homebase today .. they had some half-price plants outside store. £1.75 for 12 pansies. I picked up 3 lots took them to the checkout and as the original offer was 3for £9 it took off a further 75pence making 36 pansies for £4.50. these were the small varieties and also the giant trailing ones:j

    No .. didnt notice any other plants .. the giant trailing pansies would be fine as they are quite hardy.
    Going back to get some more tomorrow as I still have some pots to fill !!

    Bit of insider knowledge - homebase plant multibuys will always still work even if they are blanket reduced, like half price, or reduced with orange labels.

    This usally works, but beware the hand-written orange label. If the price has to be entered manually rather than scanned the additional multibuy saving does not work.

    Not sure if this applies to other stores. I was just at Homebase Cheltenham and by the till they have some large trolleys full of Pansies and Violas (the 6 plug per pack ones usually £3.50 each or 3 for £9). A staff member told me they've ordered too many so they're giving them away and to just help yourself.

    I left with 4 packs of pansies and there were still plenty left when I left the store about 15 mins ago. :) If you're in the area get down there quick! HTH :D
