If you should venture into B&Q or Sainsburys beware if you think fit to take advantage of their offer of buy 2 get 1 free.
B&Q last week for example, Mrs Pred buys a load of seedlings, 3 X £3 and 9 X £5 so she assumes she will get one of the £3 free and three of the £3 free, wrong.
What should happen is you put them through the checkout and get..
3 X £3 = £9 save £3 = £6
6 X £5 = £30 save £10 = £20
total spend £26 save £13
However through the checkout they always give you the cheapest free.
2 X £5 = £10 save £3
2 X £5 = £10 save £3
2 X £5 = £10 save £3
total spend £30 save £9 so you're £4 out of pocket! If you're caught out demand to put it through the till again in the different price categories.
Does not apply to PP as he's got so much money he can afford to throw it away.
