Scooby Snacks

Posts: 5 Forumite
Bought a big bold box of crispy things from Asda, and applied my Golden Rule of Savoury Snacks:
NEVER PAY MORE THAN 7p PER PACK. (this rules obviously excludes nuts which I classify under "near-healthy-option-snacky-things", and pork scratchings - find under "food of gods")
Anyhoo, the only reason that the 7p rule applied was because the box stated it contains 30 packets plus "10 packs free in this box". (Box cost £2.78)
Opened the box up, and there's only 30 packs - ie no freebies :mad:
So, my eventual question is:
Should I:
a) Return said savoury snacks as they fall outside of my Golden Rule;
b) Demand my 10 free packs, or :idea:
c) Wait for a more creative suggestion from one of you guys (or gals).... :grouphug:
Answers ASAP - I'm getting the munchies :drool:

nor very creative, but i would say take them back and demand they give you your 10 free bags. and as you got them from asda ask for petrol money as you have had to go especially back to claim your 10 free packs. (they normally pay out £3 thats what i got anyway) so if you get that and go when you were going to go anyway (but dont tell them that obviously) then the snacks would of cost you nothing0

Divadee- thanks for advice - will obey!!
What's the country coming to when you get defrauded for salty nibbles?!0 -
If the packet said 30 packs plus 10 free packs and not 30 packs including the 10 free packs i would contact whoever made them AS WELL and tell them that you didnt get them
Absolutely gutted about Paul Walker - RIP xx0
