    so my theory is that because there was not six bought from the "buy 6 for £3" selection they all were priced at 68p as only the 10 for £4 offer was triggered and it's not on mys.Please tell me if I am any where near getting this sorted in my head.:rotfl:

    My Olay shop didn't work but thanks to sprite/fanta I don't mind at all :money:

    Thanks for the Sprite Zero & Fanta option - I've just tried it - bound to stop working by time I check my receipt - if it works, I'll post the result; if not, it'll mysteriously disappear:rotfl:.

    Is sprite zero / dr pepper zero still working?

    I don't know about the Dr Pepper but I would imagine so. I saw the '2 for £2' showing for all the 2L drinks on msm. However, I think we're thinking it's the Sprite Zero not picking up the multi.

    :mad::mad:Forgot to put the bananas on my shop - I've really not got the hang of this one banana, one apple, one other apple routine - mind you after one shop where I paid too much:eek: (28p, even after 10% off a competitor's cheaper price) for an apple - smaller apple and quite costly - I can see why my reticence. Or even reti-lack of sense on my part:rotfl:. Oh well, the banana can go on my next shop vs Ms instead.

    Sprite 500ml is £1.19 bogof in M at the moment:p. So, presumably, if you are using a Sprite coupon, it would be buy one (with the coupon) and get one free, in Ms. No two for £2 and stricter SAs taking the price therefore as being £1 for one. At last, a proper 'get one free' offer, where we don't have to pay proper money for the first one.

    For some reason I've found that MOC only scans against the sweet and sour kit for me (the one with new written on it)
    I have to get it put through manually for any others
