Co-op Meal Deal and Coke

Not an issue and I think I know the answer but just curious if anyone knows, instead of bothering the person at the till with my stupid question :)

I noticed the meal deal and notice there is the 2x500ml Cokes for £3.10 instead of £4.50.

So I did a meal deal with a coke, then bought 2 cokes on their own. Got both deals.

Got wondering. Could you do the meal deal but get two cokes and would the deals get combined. So you'd get the meal deal discount and then the discount for buying 2 cokes?

Correct me if I'm wrong, as my math IS bad.

You pay £3.50 for the meal deal including a coke, you get the 2nd coke but it now gets excluded from the 2xcoke offer so you'd be paying the full £2.25 for that coke.

But if they did apply the 2xcoke deal as well as the meal deal, you'd be getting the 2nd coke for £1.55 so you'd save 70p

Just curious if sell service till would apply this or would it say no because the meal deal over rules other deals?

    Just take 3 bottles with you to the till and ask them to put through the meal and then 1 more coke and see what happens. If the 2 bottle discount isn't applied just buy the third bottle. You could do it yourself on the self-checkout if you don't want to bother anyone.

    I would think not. Most deals state in the small print "cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer".  So you can get the offer over 2 transactions (like you did), but not in a single transaction.  Basically you have to buy a full priced item to get a discount (meal deal).  You can't usually use one deal (2 cokes for £x) to make up part of another different deal
