NUTRIGRAIN AT KWIK SAVE MY STORY   
Well this is an interesting one, popped into alocal kwik save the other day 
looking for the promo packs and there were tons on the shelf at what i 
thought were 98p for a pack of 8, however after grabbing 8 boxes i got to 
the checkout and the lady scanned them and said they were 1.86, i sadi but 
on the shelf it said 98p, and then i noticed that the packs i had whch were 
the bluberry flavour were actually old stock from the last promotion last 
year with a totally different short code on, even the actual products were 
out of date, i pointed this out to the assistant who was bit red faced and 
scuttled off to the manager,she came back, apologised profusely for the 
mistake and i then basically demanded that i got 8 boxes at the stated price 
of 98p which were actually in date and valid for the current promotion, 
again off she scuttled to the manager to check this out and lo and behold my 
wish was granted , i managed to get the 8 boxes which were actually in date 
this time for a total of just 98p each instead of the correct price of 
1.86, i think they were embarassed that i had found out they had stock 
which was well past its sell by date on the shelves and decided to cut their 
losses. I dont even eat the things and have now un wrapped all the bars, 
given them to my nephews and nieces and have written all the codes down 
ready to start entering again come tuesday.

The branch in question was yorkshire street,Rochdale,  so if you rae buying 
your packs from KS  make sure you check they are actually the current 
promotional packs and not the old ones.
