    happy birthday skibster!

    lots of nappies reduced in my local tady jumbo huggies packs at 2.25, big newborn pampers packs at 1.50!! i did get the ts shampoo and conditioner but it didn't work like others said, it took 1.98 off, then 4.49 pc voucher scanned conditioner as 0.00 but i ended up paying 2.51 ish, bit expensive for me lol, i will double check recipet, some mitchum deos for 88p and arrid deo cream for 70p, 2 x charlies for 45p each and 2 x sure crystal roll ons for 50p each. If the ts voucher had worked properly i'd have used my others couple up, looks like the pc voucher knocks the 2 for 7 out by mt reciept thing!
    coupon over here, coupon over there, every crack filled with coupons even down there

    Got 5 free 6x4 digital photos today with pc voucher at kodak kiosk, and machine printed a voucher for a free 6x4 greeting card before my receipt. I find it often prints vouchers have had one for free enlargements before now too.;)

    Hi ya
    That's what it cost me £2.51 for 2 used the BOGOF voucher total should have been £8.98 for 2
    The till takes off the £1.98 for the 2 for £7
    and then deducts £4.49 for the BOGOF
    leaving £2.51 to pay so I think what you did was indeed right?

    happy birthday skibster!

    Thanks! And the way the TS worked for me was like yours:

    Shamp and cond = 2 for 7
    free cond coupon = 4.49 deducted
    leaves a total of 2.51 to pay
    100 extra points if using coupon from ACM

    I think some people see the 1.98 deduction that makes the products 2 for 7 on their receipt and do the math that it must be taken off of the 2.51 to pay, when in fact it is taken off the 8.98 the items would've normally cost (making the total for two items 7 pounds, minus 4.49 for the cond, equaling 2.51 to pay). The glitch/deal is that the free conditioner coupon is still taking off the normal price (4.49) rather than the sale price (3.50). Hope that makes sense!

    See this is what I'm thinking.
    If the display shows free GWP but no min spend mentioned one could be led to believe that if you buy an Olay item you get an Olay GWP, likewise for the Roc or L'Oreal etc etc.
    So in effect if you buy 3 items from different ranges which all go through on 342 you could get a GWP for each of those ranges.

    Not sure if it'll work ......... We know they go through at 0.00 but this way you are actually buying & possibly qualifying.
    Who's gonna try it. If I can get into town on Sat I will.

    I did this exactly the same too with £2.51 to pay. When we had the £2 haircare till spits it worked out as 51p but they're now expired unfortunately :(

    Edited to add: I also used the 100 points on TS ACM voucher ;)
