    Thanks you have answered part of my question :)

    Not necessarily

    That shop had 8 bottles. Not divisible by 3 therefore 2 compared full price

    All varieties have potential to work. We need test shops to confirm but test shops have to be multiples of 3

    Morning everyone :D

    Can't get out til after work for the coke but am I right in thinking that 9 would be the best buy? PP of 9.98 plus 2 x £1.60 from quidco + £1.75 from msl ... No actually that'd be £1.05 for 9 rather that 65p for 6 (nearly a penny more per bottle :eek:;))

    That would be £15.98 v £6 so would almost max out your PP. if fillers don't contribute further to PP then you'd be ok and able to claim £3.20 clicksnap

    £6-£3.20 = 2.80 for 6 (potentially less a further £1.75 MSL or even £1.98 as one of your 9 cokes would be full price)

    Is it ten items I need in tescos, I will see if I can pop out of work to try the caffine free if no one else has by lunch time. I hardly ever shop at tesco now, any advice on cheap fillers, are the 10p sweets okay for fillers? TIA
