17p for pack of 8 cheestrings at Asda

Asda currently have packs of 8 cheestrings for £2.08 but if you buy 2 packs you get a multibuy reduction of £1.66 making it (£2.08 x 2 - £1.66) = £1.25 per pack.
Here's the fiddly bit...
If you take a current Morrisons flyer into Asda they will match any offer advertised.
Morrisons have buy 2 get 1 free on cheestrings priced at £1.09 each
(Please note that they have advertised the packs of 4 but the picture shows a pack of 8)
So as usual I went to a student and showed him the leaflet pointing to the picture of 8 cheestrings advertised at £1.09 but buy 2 get one free.
So he put two packs in at £1.09 each and the next one at 0p. The till knocked off the £1.66 multibuy.
Hence
2 x £1.09 + 1 x £0.00 - £1.66 = £0.52/3 packets = 17p each.
I hope this makes sense.
Good luck to all you parents who have kids with packed lunches.

If Asda have multi saving offers of their own they are deducting that from the price. For example last week I bought 2 Tropicana Orange juice and took a leaflet in showing 99p each from Kwik save. Asda sell them for £1.69 each or 2 for £2.80. They credited me with difference of 91p.0

All depends on how knowledgable the checkout assistant is. On occasion I have had the supervisor and store manager involved and neither of them knew how to override the deduction for the Asda offer on an Ad Match so they all ended up agreeing that they should just give both discounts.
This has happened on many occasions. As long as you can afford the lowest price it is worth going for this double offer as they will quite often combine both offers and you end up with a bargain.
The one to watch for is where Asda has a BOGOF and another retailler has a half price offer for the same item. In this case Asda should honour the combined offer as if they are matching the price of the goods they should still be giving you the BOGOF. This also applies where they have a product that is on an offer like 100% extra free, e.g. recently Asda had Galaxy ice-cream bars 4 pack with 100% extra free and another retailler had the 4 pack on BOGOF- combining these offers gave 2 x 8 bars for £2.19-ish.Your really can not beat a good bargain !!!0 -
Asda will honour both discounts, it's called a 'WOW'.When it comes to thought, some people stop at nothing.........0

In some packs of 8 cheesestrings, there is a piece of card. On the back of this card is a 50p off of attack a snack, that can be used in Tesco. So this canmake your offer even better.Quidco cashback paid out so far £745.89 :j0
