I'm wondering whether (maybe this skips the gift sets offer I don't know?) with various triggers in 2 for £8, 3 for £10 etc., it is possible to spend £10 + fillers on the JFs and Impulse/H&S, get £9+. Spend the 9+ on 2 for £8 gift sets and fillers - without paying any more cash, debit card etc. or further voucher. APG of a bit over £5. 3 for £5 on Imperial Leather & Lynx plus fillers - again, challenge is no extra vouchers, cash or anything else. Voucher back - maybe it is enough of a voucher for the 2 for £4 offer and a trigger there?:rotfl:.

Perhaps we have to miss out the 2 for £8 offer there and go straight from £9.20-odd APG (from £10+ on JFs/trigger) to the 3 for £5 offer, leaving us £4.20 to spend on 7 different items to get enough APG for the 2 for £4 offer, if there is a trigger too in that one. 2 for £4? I think I'm thinking of another deos one or shower gel one that I saw instore - are those £3.19 Sanexs or Lynxs (if indeed they are that individual price, just thinking from memory) on 2 for £4 offer? Quite good high individual price ('close' to the mbuy price - would prefer £3.78 and 2 for £4, or even £3.98 and 2 for £4, but never mind...:D).

Okay...just your initial investment of £10 probably 80 or 70 odd (for 3 for £10 + 7 or 8x 10p fillers), may be from a number of wombles, then APG back £9.20-odd and every successive shop to be an exact spend of the single APG requiring nothing else. Of course you must get eight appearing items within that... wonder if it is possible to do, from one offer + trigger to the other, and...no additional spend beyond your original £10.70/£10.80, no further APGs added it to part-pay from anywhere or any more payment from any source, just the one APG you get back from each shop;):).

No worries - I asked without knowing the answer myself, or even bothering to go to look it up:o:o:rotfl:. I did think, though, that my question was, again, a very very good one and would have people stumped!:rotfl::rotfl:

You've reminded me of something I inadvertently came accross whilst online muggle shopping when I was poorly recently.

As now have a 'Big night In Bundle' available. It consists of a pizza, a 2l bottle of Pepsi, a bag if Doritos and a bag of cad choc giant buttons. It costs £4.25.
..........the cost of those items individually is £4.25 :rotfl::rotfl:

What's the point??

http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml?cmpid=ahc-_-ghs-d1-_-asdacom-dsk-_-hp#/product/1215408272588

Ah, now I get you (having looked at the a.com page). I thought originally that you meant £4.25 for each one:eek: and £4.25 for the four in total. (Of course that was obviously wrong as 2L Pepsi clearly won't be £4.25 individual - but I didn't think like that...:o:o:rotfl:.)

So my answer has changed!!

The point on this one clearly is that people will see the large promoted offer instore, probably, and pick up all four and pay the total of £4.25:eek:(:question:) rather than buying just one item in it and paying less.

It's another tactic, clearly here, again, in this specific situation, to get people buying more and paying the store overall more (for buying four items instead of just the ones they were going to buy). People, especially in a rush, will not stop to add up the totals on the items and will just see the offer and go "ooo... that looks good!:D" (Me: :(:(.)

On my original thought about what you meant, I was thinking of £2.98 individual and any 2 for £3.00 and things like that, where the individual price of one is only a few pence short of the offer total price. That's another situation and I was thinking other things there. Or maybe one at £2 and any 2 for £2 (because, of course, Mr A doesn't have bog1fs:rotfl:) - or even one at £2.20 and any 2 for £2! - maybe the store wants to shift stock?!?:think: As shelf space is a premium and may cost them, bizarrely perhaps, more in storage than actually getting something else onto that shelf and shifting that. Or maybe it's another loss-leader or an offer that's good that makes you think everything else in the store must be similarly good and sees you picking up and buying other items around the store?

Some of this (£2.20 one and any 2 for £2.00) can be due to items moving to different offers and because the unit price on some of the items in the offer is much less and on which 2 for £2.00 would then make more sense. It's basically saying 20p off if you buy another item in the offer (whether individual £2.20 or much lower in individual price, depending on what items you want - consumer choice, fantastic!:D:(:wall::rotfl:). And also you need to allow for some dodos that don't see the offer (or maybe it's not marked up on the shelf, lol!:rotfl:) and pick up just one at £2.20 when they could have got 2 at total £2.00.

:rotfl::rotfl:

Or...what about Imperial Leather Skinkinds? 2 for £5.40 or 3 for £5.00... :think:hmmm!!:think::think::rotfl::rotfl: People sometimes don't think, especially if they are in a crowded store and may be in a rush (after all, don't people generally take about 45 minutes to do a shop - I believe they do:D?, the stores have it timed out and set their air conditioning to change subtlety to reflect the time when people are likely to be at certain points in the store - maybe get them back in when they were about to leave - they know, from the time when people are entering and sensors to see the footfall entering, roughly when the tills will need to be fully running - but, anyway, the average shop is about 45 minutes long and most people buy X number of items in that (weekly?) shop - obviously my stats ran out there lol:rotfl: - lies, damned lies... - think of the average weekly shop, people probably have 30 seconds to look at/decide each item. With that shortness of time, people (some, a few, not all) are bound to pick 2 at £5.40 and not think, or maybe not see, the offer. Another reason why we have to get sorted out precisely what we need and no more, precisely what we want to buy, before we go into the store - previous posts by Savvy, ad nauseum: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=66825816&postcount=5107).

I went to some random gigs in my teenage years. My first real one was Bruce Springsteen.. in 1988 or 1989.
