Purchased 96 cans of Barr Lemonade and 48 Pepsi Max Cherry cans for an 'equivalent' spend of around £7 delivered. I did get £10 promo credit though so without it would be a net £17ish delivered.
Need to create a new Amazon account, sign up to Prime (cancel straightaway to stop auto-renew) and go to your local PayPoint store to add £25 on your Amazon account (make sure you show them the barcode linked to your account - this gives you a free fiver). There should be a banner on the top-up instore option showing the free fiver promo. You'll get an email notification when you've topped up £25 and another email to say the fiver's been added to your Amazon account.
There are 2 promotions on some Pantry items - first is 20% off selected food/drinks and the other is £10 off wys £40 on selected items.
Look for items in this list that have the 2 offers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=ref=pntry_wayfind_6_1_f?node=15688244031
For example:
Barr Lemonade: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DQQ4NXZ
Pepsi Max Cherry: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017NVJ7ZW
Go down about a third of the page on an eligible product and you'll see 'Special offers and product promotions' and the different offers applicable to the product. The 20% off does not work, but this should work in your favour when you contact Amazon (i.e. they'll refund plus hopefully offer a £5-£10 promo credit as a gesture of goodwill).
There is also a £3 off code on your first Pantry order - the code for this can be seen in the 2 product links above. The £10 off wys £40 offer is also seen here.
I ordered 4 crates of lemonade and 6 packs of Pepsi. Total cost is £40.36. Pantry delivery is £2.99 + 99p + 99p (3 boxes in total). Amazon deducts £10 (£10 off wys £40), £3 off (when you add code 1st pantry order code), £2.99 off (because you've ordered items that make your first delivery charge free).
So basket total is now £29.34 but because you added £25 to your account and the free fiver - the basket total should be £0.
Once items are despatched/delivered - chat/email Amazon to explain the 20% off didn't come off, they'll apologise give an £8ish refund (20% from total spend of £40ish) and, depending on who deals with your enquiry, you may get £5/£10/£15 etc. promo credit on top to apologise for their error. I got £10.
So for an outlay of £25, you can get the above items delivered, with £8 due to be refunded (as credit) plus extra promo credit (if fortunate). In my case I now have about £18 credit on my account and can spend on something that will pop up on hukd over the next week or two.

Thank you TS you are an :A
Wish I had thought of a TENS machine much earlier. I’m actually enjoying a spell of being “ nearly pain-free” without too many drugs already :j
Just got to get used to the involuntary convulsions. I had to answer the door whilst having my first session - nearly poked the delivery man in the eye, he thought I was doing some sort of painful ‘robot dance’
Excellent for my back pain though, thank you again TS :A
Di :A (((x))) hope today went well at your appointment with your Consultant.
Thinking of you Sarah :A (((x))) and hope today was better
you do make me chuckle- I can imagine you as the robot out of Justins House, sorry I only watch little peoples tv due to grandchildren
pleased you have a least some relief
perhaps your little grey cells will come up with another little ditty:) please

I've just been doing an Amazon pantry order - my aim was to get to a £20 basket with free delivery - so cat food and 4 of the special from the " items for free delivery" section
My order came to 40p short of £20 so I included a Morrisons bleach for 57p
Then I was going to use my Amex to pay rather than my gift card balance as I've got the offer on 2 of the cards - £5 credited to your account if you spend £20
I knew I had £8 credit to my account if I was doing a "supplied by Amazon " order (thanks to Karlies guidance regarding Amazon)
What I didn't know was that I could also use it for Amazon pantry.
I got to the checkout stage but instead of the £8 credit I had £14.30 - no idea whatsoever where the extra bit came from.
So I twiddled with the basket so I could get it all in once box, experimenting with adding and then taking away cat food (sets of six) - adding seemed to take an extra 30p off but taking a set away reduced the discount - there was an optimum level where no further discounts were added.
Then I changed back to using the gift card balance and fortunately that made no difference.
No doubt I will be doing £20 spends on Amazon with the amex between now and Christmas so I can use the offer then.
So I've got 30 cans of Butchers cat food, Harpic, mars and sweets for the sum total of £2.99 and delivered on Thursday :T“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Sorry JTS it was dd who was seeing her consultant. At the end of her last pregnancy they suddenly decided that the baby was tiny and all hell broke loose. So they are being precautious this time.
Glad the tens machine is bringing you some relief.
I see on fb people saying the tuna 3 plus 1 is scanning at £1 I just don't have the energy to go out at this time.
Dear glitch fairy,
We're having a nwcovern meet up on Thursday and we'd be really grateful ifvyou could get waitrose to send us some vouchers please xx0 -
GJ - OH has it on his app - android and automatic updates, The list of Iceland offers is huge but some are locked until you put your bonus card into the system
No update on my phone though“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -
Talking of grandchildren- well I was you may not be- anyway Saturday I received my free Halloween biscuit via o2 I didn't think my request went through so that was a nice surprise
wayward gs --you must remember him, he is still wayward grrrrr,, he had post, I left it on the kitchen table for him for when he emerged from his pit, the package was thin and the size of a cd...imagine how I laughed when I asked him if he opened his post and asked if it was what he was expecting...
He said 'well I wont be expecting now..its a condom!!'
I remember sending away for a free sample for him and had forgotten all about it0
